I was thinking the same. This is a big muscly Uysk. I mentioned Uysk by KO as a possibility, was kinda on my own about that. Only as a possibility mind. But yeah I can see it.skanksta wrote: ↑21 Sep 2021, 15:10Is a bulked-up Usyk really some powder-puff feather-fist ?jamesmcdonnell wrote: ↑21 Sep 2021, 11:29The only way I can see him stopping Joshua is if he manages to exhaust him, and Joshua would have to be pretty dumb to allow that. Usyk would have to be moving constantly throwing enough shots to be winning rounds and forcing Joshua to engage.
AJ has been hurt-to-KOd by Wlad, Pov, White, Ruiz and was wary of Joe Parker.
Usyk could have ‘grown in to’ the weight better now too.

But nelson is just embarassing,geezers opinion just literally isnt worth s**t
Imagine a lad new to the sport,listening to a fool like nelson he would think usyk poses little threat at all,
Shouldlnt be allowed nowhere near a broadcast![]()
Why did they choose Nelson who is not only awful at this but was never a big name or a popular fighter?
Re: Anthony Joshua vs. Oleksandr Usyk - 25 September 2021
theres a reason joshua has mainly been fighting fifty year olds.he is not fluid,and hes not particularly fast. its also telling that the only non pensioners he has fought have been the twenty stone ruiz and the slow motion parker, both of whom comfortably went the distance.
if usyk is half as good at heavy as he was at cruiser, joshua is gonna get shown up.

Re: Anthony Joshua vs. Oleksandr Usyk - 25 September 2021
I’m gonna buy this, Usyk seems mentally strong and physically able.
It’s interesting, may the best man win.

Re: Anthony Joshua vs. Oleksandr Usyk - 25 September 2021
Usyk has that "never rattled" look
A man who would look the same whether hot or cold blooded
Does his business simple as that

Re: Anthony Joshua vs. Oleksandr Usyk - 25 September 2021
But he didn’t look good enough to beat AJ in either of his two fights @ HW.
Re: Anthony Joshua vs. Oleksandr Usyk - 25 September 2021
I think he will get stopped down the stretch
But irrespective of his 2fights at heavy,win lose or draw he never looks likes someones got him rattled,always looks composed & sure of himself

What’s the best way to purchase the PPV if you don’t have Sky or Virgin? I get my basic TV package/internet through TalkTalk. Have also got a PS4 + PS5, but don’t think you can get Sky Box Office on them.
Re: Anthony Joshua vs. Oleksandr Usyk - 25 September 2021
Wait a few days and watch it on YouTube or something, the only decent fight is the main event.Boxerbeetle wrote: ↑21 Sep 2021, 16:47 What’s the best way to purchase the PPV if you don’t have Sky or Virgin?

Alternatives are to purchase to watch it through the Sky website, then hook a laptop up to your TV with a HDMI. Or get hold of a Now TV stick, as they have definitely have the app and it works well.

Definitely not showing on TalkTalk tv, it sucks. Don’t fancy paying out for a Now stick on top of the PPV, so guess I’ll be hooking up the laptop.

Re: Anthony Joshua vs. Oleksandr Usyk - 25 September 2021
I am too James, I'm just a little disappointed in the undercard. The main event is very interesting, I don't think there is an outcome I can predict, which is way more intriguing than other PPVs I paid for.jamesmcdonnell wrote: ↑21 Sep 2021, 17:21 Well, I'm going to watch it anyway, it's an interesting fight.

If usyk pulls out a win, it's a great result
Re: Anthony Joshua vs. Oleksandr Usyk - 25 September 2021
Then a rematch, then maybe a trilogy
All I want is Fury vs AJ

I'm very up for this now, undercard is dross but main event is very intriguing and how it will play out is hard to say with certainty. I think AJ stoppage mid to late rounds. Usyk just has a bit of mystery about him in this fight though.

Re: Anthony Joshua vs. Oleksandr Usyk - 25 September 2021
That’s what I thought originally, but it’s not showing on there. After doing a bit of reading, the NOW website does specifically say it’s only available via the NOW box or the stick, not on the app or via a smart tv.
