It really is an interesting fight. We know AJ is going to be better, there's hardly any doubt about that. Will AJ opt for the aggressive, bullish tactics that everyone thinks he should employ? Or will he stand off a bit? The bigger question mark for me is Usyk. The situation in Ukraine could either galvanise and turn him into a beast, or do the opposite... Hard to know. Top that with the relative ease in how he dealt with AJ in fight one - it was a pretty comprehensive win after all, he didn't put a foot wrong really. He did seem to hold back a little bit toward the end of the fight though, so I have no doubt he's got a lot more to give. Anyway, I anticipate a better performance from AJ, he'll be more aggressive, quicker and will (try to) bully Usyk. But.... I see AJ winning a good few early rounds, maybe being up after 6 or 7 rounds. That's when Usyk will turn it around and take over though - combined with AJ running out of steam. Usyk by clear, but closer than first fight, UD. Or 11th/12th round TKO
Usyk will close the case with a frightening KO within 5 or 6 rounds imo. I think they wont go to decision. Ruiz concussed Bodybuilders head. Usyk will concuss AJs glass chin by accumulation of combos.
It depends at which kind of shape Usyk is on fightnight. I see 3 scenarios 1. Usyk is in good shape and figures Joshua out way sooner compared to the 1 fight. After 5 Rounds Joshua slows down the fight gets onesided and Usyk wins clearly on points or stops a tired beaten up Joshua late. 2. Usyk is in bad shape lacks footwork can't find the distance to avoid Joshua's Jab and has to eat a lot of Jabs, maybe Joshua land a huge punch and KO's Usyk mid-fight or the fight get's stopped because of Cuts or swellings on Usyk's face. 3. Joshua pressures soon and lands huge and KO's Usyk during the first 4 Rounds.
Rumors are that Papachenko(Lomas dad) is not helping him for that fight and it's first time for a championship fight. He is like a dad to Usyk, so without him it maybe very hard.
I see 4 scenarios Aj flat on his back Aj saved by the ref Aj quits on his stool Aj loses another decision I personally think he gets stopped
I thought of a way to make this competitive Have usyk spar a dozen rounds before he makes his ring walk. I would still favour him,but AJ might stand a small chance
