Usyk looks jacked - Is he going for the KO?

He looks bigger but it would be good to see a video of him sparring and moving around. Additional weight is a crap shoot, even if it’s muscle. Usyk is going to need speed, movement and stamina to win this fight. Extra weight might diminish all three. It might help his
punch resistance but I’d prefer to see him move and give angles, and have a solid defense.

Excited about this fight because it’s a true 50-50 fight IMO. I give AJ a slight advantage because he’s a giant and a true HW. Usyk is still a blown up cruiser fighting bigger guys. There have been some great cruisers over the years who have done this, Evander probably being the best, but he was a different kind of fighter. He had one fine he best chins I’ve ever seen. And he seemed to have some strong vitamins and “nutritionals” because he put on a lot of lean muscle. Modern testing makes that sort of thing more difficult these days.

 

Perhaps but Joshua most certainly is so he'll need the extra weight.

 

LOL Joshua gasses after 30 seconds when he bulks up, he needs to stay at 240 and below for this

 

I wasn't talking about Joshua bulking up I was talking about him going for the KO.

 

You can look like Mr Olympus but that doesn’t translate to a stronger punch. Usyk should just stick to what has worked for him.

 

I can’t say he looks overly “jacked”, no more than normal.

He looks like he normally looks - in great shape.

 

Doesnt look jacked to me

He is looking very feel!

 

If Usyk stops him itd be late and not have much to do with power IMO. There's value on a late stoppage/

 

Stamina will be the key to victory in this contest

 

Could this fight be a version of Holmes v Spinks ? Usyk Buzzing round AJ and out pointing him ?

 

Spot on, a few fast liver shots from Usyk & AJ trying ,but failing to cut the ring, will wear him out along with those pose perfect silly gym muscles....He'll be wishing he stayed off the juice & weights. He can't just hope to trap & lean all over Usyk to wear him out , it'll have AJ gasping as will all those flailng heavy arms when he hits thin air while getting thumped by Usyk often & hard...Eddie better have something up his sleeve....maybe some Mountain dew water in AJ's Corner lol....he'll need it...

 

Something weird about that video. It looks like it's sped up towards the end.
