The first fight gets called an easy night for Usyk, but Uysk himself said he was EXHAUSTED after the fight. He says he "fell asleep sitting up" at the hotel after the fight. Just shows you that getting hit by Joshua HURTS.
I see Usyk was looking very swash buckling and dapper in his outfit. (National dress?). I didn't see any negative giveaways there for either fighter TBF. Both looked pretty chilled out.. Loved Usyk breaking into song at the end. Looks like he's throughly enjoying it all.
After 3 lively rounds Usyk takes over and hands out a onesided beating before he wins by stoppage rounds 8-10. Boxing is a sport where the better man tends to win 95% of the time, we have alreadly seen by a wide margin last time Usyk is that better man.
Problem is your claim is baseless, Usyk totally outclassed Joshua in the first fight, hurt him on a several occassions and was 30 seconds from getting a stoppage win. Joshua has only has a punchers chance in just like all inferior fighters have in the heavyweight division. No matter how much you want AJ to win this is boxing and it rarely does sentiment, so expect Usyk who is clearly the better man to hand out a beating before moving on to bigger challenges.
Yes it's called a cossack apparently, and it's traditional dress for Ukrainian warriors. Interestingly, it makes it impossible to read what Usyk's physique is looking like due to the size of it. Obviously we will see at the weigh in how much he's put on, but there's talk that he'll weigh in a fair amount more than the last fight - maybe for now he wants to keep that up his sleeve
Obviously always thought Usyk would win this, did always give AJ a decent chance though...but the closer we get the less I can see a way of him doing this. He needs to blast this guy out of there in 7 or 8 if he's going to win and there's been no evidence he still has that sort of killer in him, in years now. Usyk win is like 80% likely in my mind now. Would probably predict by late TKO too
Prediction: - AJ is a lot more active in the first 3 rounds this time, taking 2 if not all 3 of the first 3 rounds on the scorecards - After expending a lot of energy, AJ starts to tire and Usyk turns the heat up, with more weight behind his accurate/well-timed punches this time. AJ gets hurt a lot more from round 4 onwards & Usyk takes every round from here on out. - Fight will end with Usyk knocking AJ out in the 10th, with an overhand left being the knockout blow
It's clear who is the better boxer by far but Joshua is an absolute unit it only takes one shot to scramble the ukrainians senses so don't count your chickens.. it's not a foregone conclusion by any stretch.. the Garcia hook up just doesn't seem right with me though there's no chemistry there
