He’s openly admitted that in the first fight, he wanted to prove that he could box him. Stupid really. It’s quite well known that Joshua gasses easily and takes rounds off. I wouldn’t be surprised if Usyk stops him. I also wouldn’t be shocked if Joshua wins by stoppage either because he will land at some point.
Probably miss it me. At Hardwick live today. AJ has to just be aggressive and take risks. Take some on the way in and maul and let his hands go. 12 rounds tappy tappy and he loses wide on points again.
I expect this fight to finish quickly. Joshua is under Garcia now and he likes his fighters on the front foot. I think he'll try and finish this early, he's got the power to level Usyk. The problem he's got is Usyk is 10x the boxer he'll ever be and AJ will leave himself open coming forward. Usyk will exploit that and finish him early, imo.
I can't see anything other than this outcome unfortunately. It'll be interesting to see what happens if Joshua actually lands clean on Usyk, because I doubt he's had to take many shots that powerful before. I think Usyk is too slick to be landed on clean though.
Usyk doesn’t like being on the back foot and certainly doesn’t like being roughed up. I think he’ll win but I wouldn’t be shocked if Joshua flattened him. I think some people forget how hard he actually punches.
Joshua has always been open to the left hook that’s my worry with him against a southpaw and an excellent one at that, still hope he does it
Been at a big boxing event today and I didnt talk to many who think Joshua has much of a chance. I differ a little. Be interesting to see the impact of his new trainer, who is a go forward coach. I tend to think something has been holding Joshua back in his fights since Ruiz. He has to walk Usyk down and let his hands go. Needs to walk through the shots. Interesting he has gone back to the Grant gloves as well, a bangers glove. Usyk definite favourite, but we will know in 3 rounds which Joshua is here.
How much is it on PPV? Should get yourself an IPTV sub mate, all the PPV stuff in on there. The one I'm with is currently £30 for 12 months and has been spot on. All the lads games on as well. Take care fella.
4 minute round when he was on top and looking likely to take his opponent out, looked like a fix to me. No one with eyes could say jack won that.
