Pacquiao to fight Ugas now. Arguably beat Porter tbh. Not much happening right now; Buatsi has a tough fight this weekend though. About time he stepped up.

Is Joshua in genuine trouble against Usyk tonight or what? I won't be watching cause I don't really bother with boxing anymore but nah I don't think so, Usyk is infinitely more skilled than Joshua but too small. His footwork is what makes him special but he's 20 odd lbs heavier than when he was at his best so he won't be able to move that well.
He's giving up height, reach, weight and power. Might cause AJ problems for a few rounds but I just don't see how he avoids the shots for 12 rounds at that weight, he has to find a way to get in and out of range without getting hit. Usually he has the longer reach and incredible footwork and footspeed. Don't think he has the power at that weight to trouble AJ either.
I reckon AJ stops him in rounds 7-9, something like that. Usyk's best hope is that he can move well enough to go the distance but I don't see how he lands enough shots to beat AJ on the scorecards in the UK. Interesting fight for sure but a step too far for Usyk who will go down as the 2nd greatest Cruiserweight of all time.

It's a 50/50 fight. Usyk shouldn't knock Joshua out. Joshua shouldn't outbox Usyk.
I've never seen Usyk wobbled. But Joshua hits harder than anyone he's faced. He also took a lot of shots from Chisora.
I reckon Joshua probably gets a questionable late stoppage whilst behind on the cards. Reckon he probably comes off the canvas too.

The vast difference in quality is so obvious already. If Usyk was a natural HW he'd win this fight 99 times out of 100.

Usyk Fury would be a great match up.

He needs to to head hunting. This has been piss poor from Joshua so far.

It will be close on the cards. It shouldn't be. But it will be.
I think I have Usyk up by about four.

If he ever gets the chance AJ gets destroyed by Fury.

Absolutely schooled him. Said it for years that Joshua is where he is because he's a physical freak in a poor division, same reason Wilder has been able to have a career. Put him against a boxer with actual fighting pedigree and he has nothing to offer.

He just got throughly schooled by a cruiserweight with a 4 inch reach advantage, as little as I think about AJ I did not expect that. Usyk was the one hurting him! Incredible.

I'd tend to agree, but it also isn't helped by Joshua somehow trying to outbox one of the best ever. Foolish tactics. Took until midway to even load up a right hand.
I want to see Fury Usyk and Wilder Joshua next.
