    I figure Joshua will probably beat Usyk this time having learnt a lesson from the last fight similar to his fights with Ruiz.

    True but Joshua does learn his lessons and combined with size and weight I figure he’ll manage it this time. It’ll be close but I reckon he’ll shade it.

    Usyk is simply too good for him. It's different to getting caught off the same shot off a tubby Mexican

    Usyk's also miles faster than him, has way better movement and far more varied range of punches. Can see this being the end of the AJ myth and him fighting the likes of the Chisorah's and Whytes in the future away from the main title fights.

    It's all got a bit dull atm... I think the wilder vs fury fights were peak...

    Nowt going on one no interest in what's going on at 147 either..

    They need to make the fury Joshua fight but fury seems like he's retiring.

    Crawford Spence if it ever happens would be fantastic, probably won't though

    I like both it's hard for me to get up for a fight when I like both.

    Wilder being dismantled was highly satisfying..

    I feel like it's all gone a bit flat.. Im looking fwd to Marshall vs sheilds more than owt else atm. Says it all

    Yeah I edge towards him if I was picking who I want to win and I think he probably will.

    I agree Usyk is an excellent boxer. Joshua is just a body builder who is more interested in his appearance.

    I’m getting sick of ASM. He doesn’t realise that players are allowed to take the ball off him.

    He is just like a petulant child who always wants a foul

    Joshua will have to fight Usyk. Don't know why he chose to box him rather than fight him.

    Joshua learned he had no chin and had to fight that like a boring pussy vs ruiz 2 and he and that trainer he had thought he could outbox uysk for some inexplicable reason.

    I find Joshua boring and bad for boxing.... If people want role models and to hear is mothers philosophies that's fine, but it doesn't sell fights.

    I want fighters that entertain in the build up... Don't get me wrong he's a nice guy I don't dislike him I just fight it all dull.
