The AJ vs Usyk prediction thread.....

I think AJ will trick Usyk:

1. First round AJ will fight defensively.
2. In the first half of second round, he will continue fighting same way. At this point, Usyk will think the fight will continue this way and will start to attack bolder.
3. Then, in the second half of second round, AJ will unload everything he has on Usyk.
4. Usyk will not know what hit him.
5. AJ by brutal KO in round 2.
6. Usyk: BYE-BYE...

 

AJ employs the scared cautious approach that he used in Ruiz 2 just throwing jabs and never allowing Usyk to counter, easy decision win

 

Any result for Joshua other than knocking Usyk out cold will be criticized by his haters.

No knockouts.
Joshua too cautious and looks like Usyk's power didn't come up to heavyweight.

Usyk can outbox Joshua.

But likely outcome, Joshua by hometown decision.
Too much money will be lost in a future Fury fight if Joshua is not declared the winner.

First of all I want to express my respect for Uysk who in my opinion is not only a great fighter but probably the 2nd or 3rd greatest Cruiserweight in history. This could be a great fight and I think Usyk is the best boxer AJ will have faced. Nevertheless in this battle of Olympic Gold medalist champions I am predicting a Joshua win by knockout in hopefully a great fight. Both guys will be facing something each has never quite faced.

 

I'm going by Usyk decision, or late stoppage. I'd like to see him go all out at AJ, show all his skills, ability, and go for it. Leave nothing for the next day. AJ is at his best when you give him room, let him work at his pace and be first. Can't do that, or stay in front of him and in range, and not be sure of what you wanna do. I have confidence Uysk has the hand and foot speed to give him a lot of issues and take advantage of his mid round stamina issues, you just gotta recognize when AJ slows and go for it.

 

What Cruiserweight is better than Usyk besides Holyfield ? And don't say David Haye because doesn't have Usyks resume

I said 2nd or 3rd greatest heavyweight. What is controversial about that. Both he and Haye beat an excellent level of competition. Both quick with Usyk being more skillful and Haye the more powerful explosive puncher.

 

Well i don't see anybody at all being above Usyk besides Holyfield. So i don't see him being 3rd best in any circumstance

That’s your opinion and you are certainly entitled to it. Hate is definitely in the argument for the No. 2 spot.

 

Not off resume
