C'mon AJ

 

[yeseye]

I don’t think he’s going to have the power to be honest

The guy sweetens his cornflakes with Novichok!

Apparently Buffer gets $100,000 every time he says lets get ready to rumble. Not a bad gig.

Round 1 to usyk

 

[Kinkladze's crazy skills]

Ruiz's fast hands troubled Joshua albeit he hit hard, Usyk can move and should have faster hands than Ruiz did with better boxing... Don't underestimate the Cruiserweight fighters it's a shame they have to gain the extra weight, Joe Louis Rocky Marciano and Joe Frazier are closer to Cruiserweight standards than today's heavyweights.

The reason the massive guys used to have trouble was the small guys had stamina and would pulverise them, genuinely believe if Usyk was allowed to weigh his former weight instead of packing on over 20lbs he'd be an absolute nightmare for AJ ... With the extra weight I'm not sure Usyk will be able to keep up a solid tempo and keep him off.

Holyfield was around Usyk's height but was a tough bastard I'm not saying Usyk is but if he can take Joshua punches, acclimatised to his weight gain and isn't affected much by his strength then he could tire Joshua out.

Usyk 1st round for me

Better than working for a living, eh? It'd take me two months to earn that.

Joshua 9
Usyk 10

Enjoyed Usyk's intent, movement and left hand looks lively.

Joshua looks in fantastic shape. Not an ounce of spare fat on him.

modding pays.

I love watching Usyk

 

[Deleted member 77198]

Usyk looks technically a handful, 300+ fights!

Joshua just needs one big dig though

 

[Gaz76]

Joshua looks like he is either waiting to get his right in or cant as usyk has his left up all the time, the stance and speed of usyk has joshua struggling

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

I have 1 each but little to say about round 2.

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

Yeah amateur boxing is a much better livelihood than pro boxing in some countries, especially in Eastern Europe.

Yeh - what did Lomanchenko have something daft like 300 before turning pro?

 

[Don Karleone]

Wake up AJ ffs

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

Usyk started to catch him but it looks like it'd take him all night to put Joshua whereas it looks like it would only AJ one right hand to dump him.

397 fights I think
