Anthony Joshua vs. Oleksandr Usyk - 25 September 2021

[IRONFIST]

I’m going draw with Usyk deserving to be the winner

I've got some on that when it was about 25/1, now about 20/1 Also some on Usyk winning by stoppage at least 7/1

[Controversial]

Interestingly Usyk will be the second lightest opponent AJ has fought, only his 3rd opponent was under 220lb

[jimcook]

just cant see how joshua can keep up with the pace usyk will set. if joshua doesnt land big and clean he will be a sitting duck.

Has Usyk ever been floored as a pro?

A stone and half advantage shouldn`t really be that much difference for the big boys.
Torso wise -Usyk looked as solid without having the Fury muffin-top of a guy carrying blubber as ballast.

An interesting fight ... not even guessing who will win; but I will be cheering on Usyk

What are you talking about? I can't recall that, who rocked him?

[emallini]

He was rocked a bit by Gassiev earlier in the fight, but that didn't even made the round Gassiev's.

[margaret thatcher]

gassiev defo did not seriously rock him, i question whether he was hurt at all

this is what was posted



i'd say the 12th round vs briedis he was defo a bit hurt though. was getting aggressive and a bit careless and got caught with a right, then moved backward and backpeddled rest of round. though tbf i highly doubt he fights aggressive vs josh

he also got a count in the amateurs vs berterbiev, when he doubled over for a second (though didnt go down) from a body shot

[Twinkle Toes]

Going out on a limb. Joshua inside 6.

[aicheligad]

It was a very hard punch and Usyk really wasn't hurt.

[maverick23]

It was a very hard punch and Usyk really wasn't hurt.

Yeah. It was a very hard punch from a cuiserweight though. Will be interesting to see if he can take one from a very hard hitting heavy with good ability.

I guess you mean the last minute or so of the last round vs Briedis. The Latvian landed some hard punches and Usyk was maybe a bit hurt, but I'm not even sure about that. He dominated the first 2 minutes of the round, and got hit with some hard punches later and decided to not to risk too much. Surely Chisora was more hurt by Usyk in 7th than was Usyk vs Gassiev and Briedis. Also, he almost stopped Hunter, now he is 10kg heavier, has more expierience in the pro game (early in the pros, he was very amateurish, sometimes he was throwing punch like without even closing his fist), he can resist Joshua's punches and can hurt him too, if he will - we will see. It's my favourite fighter. The bookmakers went crazy again, what the Cossack Warrior has to offer it's definitely worth a bet on him.

He is quick on his feet and moves very well, I'm not sure if Joshua will be able to land clean a lot even despite the reach advantage. Joshua couldn't drop Takam, Parker, Ruiz, so my guess is that Usyk can withstand his power too. Chisora couldn't hurt him more than CW's Briedis and Gassiev.

[Boxerbeetle]

I am absolutely buzzing for this now

[aicheligad]

The referee is British so I worry that we'll get the ''British stoppage'' Can someone tell me if Michael Alexander has ever did it in future?

Lottery numbers would be nice as well while your at it, ta.

AJ’s landed clean on everyone he’s fought. He did drop Takam albeit it was just his glove that hit the deck and he dropped Ruiz in their first fight. He didn’t seem to go for it against Parker and rightly, even though Ruiz was obese, kept out of range in the Ruiz rematch.

Chisora didn’t land much/if anything on Usyk and is pretty crude. AJ has mixed, and won, at a much higher level. Povetkin was in good form against him and after a handful of close rounds he was caught properly.

I’m not saying Usyk doesn’t have a good chin or won’t be able to take one of AJ’s big shots - im just saying we don’t know yet and the fact that he could take a fairly big punching Cruiser’s shots doesn’t prove loads to me.

[bigjack]

he proved he could take big punches from a cruiserweight when he was a cruiserweight,maybe he can take big punches from a heavyweight now he's a heavyweight,if Joshua lands big tomorrow then we'll find out

How hard do you think Gassiev hits?

Btw, sorry, I meant ''knock out'' of course, not ''drop''.

At this point, Povetkin was well past his prime and was in troubles in almost every fight.

Sure, we don't know what will happen - Joshua can knock Usyk out, but I hope he will not

[MightyWarrior]

That’s a hell of a shot Usyk takes there to be fair, looks promising, but you never know…Not sure how he is mandatory, I mean beating Dell boy ? come on, the guys got 11 losses he’s a journey man, he’s not really proved anything at heavyweight yet.
