We haven't even seen Usyk's full power yet....

I reckon Joshua lacks the speed to catch Usyk cold with something devastating. God only knows what his approach will be, given his stamina issues.

 

Pardon me, but logic and reasoning are frowned upon in here. Emotions, fear and anger mostly, rule.

 

Hearn also knows very little about boxing for a boxing promoter so that means very little.

 

I agree, AJ will have trouble landing big shots if Usyk maintains his balance as he did in the first fight. Usyk would be living dangerously if he tried to slug it out with AJ. Also, AJ came in light (weight) and tried to win a boxing match in the first fight. It’s obvious he’s going to have to try a different approach in the rematch. I suspect he’s going to come in heavy this time and try to bully Usyk and knock him out.

It’s the opposite of how he approached the Fat Andy fights. AJ got into a firefight with Fat Andy in the first fight and got sparked out. He jabbed him to death in the snooze fest second fight. If AJ tries to make the rematch a slug fest, Usyk is too smart to take the bait and will work to end the fight when the big man is gassed.

I like Usyk’s chances but one big shot on the chin from a guy the size of AJ is all it takes to end a fight. This and corrupt judges are AJ’s only chances of winning the fight. With the prospect of a big $$$ AJ-Fury fight on the horizon, nothing would surprise me.

 

Usyk's corner was telling him not to go for the knockout. Joshua's corner was pondering how to keep him alive.

 

This isn't even my final form

 

I believe it. He looked spectacular in the AJ fight, and you could see many spots where he had opportunity but didn't want to engage further and take risk. The openings were there though.

I think that we will see a full mental collapse from AJ in the rematch. I don't think he makes it much past round 4 without showing huge signs of frustration/desperation.

 

Eddie Hearn is a conman.

 

You missed the detail of Joshua's corner telling him he was doing was "brilliant and amazing" whilst getting lit up like a Christmas tree..

 

We can say RIP the bodybuilder already now.

 

The boxer almost always does better in the rematch.

 

I am not a big Usyk fan although I recognize he has a unique, high quality skill set. I will say this. Joshua can improve and could still lose to Usyk even if Usyk doesn't improve. If Usyk does improve them AJ has no chance excepting a puncher's chance.

 

Usyk's age works against him. Not likely that his speed or stamina will increase. Physically we probably saw his best.
He still has that high ring IQ. What I think might happen is he will be able to figure out AJ quicker after already being in there with him. AJ's mentality might break if Usyk just keeps answering everything thrown at him, and AJ will fold this time if Usyk steps on the gas pedal.
