    AND just in case... Sharia law stoppage rule is in effect. Any punch landed on Usyks head will require an immediate disqualification.

    Sure you can. You are a decent lad yourself. That fellow @JOKER is someone I choose not to associate with. He is a real ******* pardon my French.

    Shucks, I just realized that because of time difference, I will probably not be able to follow along. Anyway:

    Go Usyk! I like Joshua and think he is going to have a third act when Usyk end Fury are gone, but Oleksandr the great is a man of destiny, and will not be denied. I picked him in the first, and I am picking him again. When Joshua comes in "more aggressive," it is just going to make it easier for usyk to feed him straight lefts, and when he gasses earlier, he's going to be in trouble.

    Go Zhang! Hrgovic is the favorite here, and will probably pull it out, but Zhang is better for boxing. He has a likable style, and, unlike Hrgovic, he doesn't cherry-pick fights. And I'd like to see him as the Mando. C'mon, who wouldn't want to see a Ukrainian-Chinese heavyweight fight. This is an international sport!

    Go Tabiti. Poor guy couldn't make much headway in that greatest ever crusierweight division....I would like to see him get a chance to be somebody in this crappier-by-the-day heavyweight division.

    Anyway, hope I end up being able to follow along.

    Lapin has a lot of skills, but his lack of power will be his downfall.

    Racism controversies
    Joshua was previously criticised for a set of incidents in November 2017. He called heavyweight boxer [url]Eddie Chambers[/url] a "disgrace to the superior black race" on Instagram. Joshua's promoter [url]Eddie Hearn[/url] said the message came from a fake account, but the false claim was debunked when Chambers proved that it had indeed been sent from Joshua's verified account.[url][224][/url][url][225][/url][url][226][/url]

    Joshua later appeared to voice support for Zimbabwean dictator [url]Robert Mugabe[/url] on Snapchat.[url][227][/url][url][228][/url][url][229][/url] Hearn subsequently stated Joshua has "got a major problem with his social media accounts" and suggested the accounts may have been hacked.[url][229][/url]

    In June 2020, Joshua was accused of racism for his speech at a Black Lives Matter protest in Watford, where he said "show them where it hurts, abstain from spending your money in their shops and economies, and invest in black-owned businesses." This was interpreted by some as a call to boycott white businesses.[url][230][/url][url][231][/url] In response, he said the speech was not his own and that he had only read it out on behalf of a friend. He also said, "If you think I'm a racist, go **** yourself.

    ^^ anyone know if this stuff is true about aj? found it on wikipedia so could be fake for all i know lol.

    Yea it's all true

    The speech he did was scripted and he just read it so he is just a dumb puppet but everyone knows that. That particular political group has done nothing for their supposed causes, just enriched a handful of wannabe commies who by definition are late stage capitalist con artists.

    that being said no point holding it against him, he's just a dummy that needs to be educated which is the majority of people.

    Hope Usyk sparks Joshua out so he doesn't get robbed.
