Anthony Joshua vs. Oleksandr Usyk - 25 September 2021

[KiwiRider]

At first I didn't get Uysk, probably just the language barrier.
But now, after a few years, I find the guy fairly funny, I get his sense of humour.. He now comes across to me at least, as a guy who is amiable and light and funny on the outside, but deadly serious, dedicated and proper humble* deep down.
Have to respect that


*as opposed to manufactured PR humble

[jamesmcdonnell]

Gotta love the guy.

He's a man enjoys his work, commendable.

Usyk is different,its not the same old shtick,he doesnt give a f**k, does his own thing & is a quality fighter

[DrDuke]

If usyk pulls out a win, it's a great result

Then a rematch, then maybe a trilogy
All I want is Fury vs AJ

So, the best option is Usyk beating up Joshua so much, that Joshua won't be able to come back soon on health issues and use the rematch clause. Thus, we definitely won't see another series of the same fights like Fury-Wilder and there will be the Fury-Usyk undispted unification, which is much easier to make, cause Usyk isn't a pretentious hometown sucker like AJ.

Let's go, Usyk! Beat the humble, make him stumble, in his own blood Josh will mumble!

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.

M sure you can purchase through the NOW app. If yu have on smart tv

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. Ffs.

Ahh that’s rubbish. Didn’t know that.

Umm.. No.

I really thought Joshua would be too big and break down Usyk. But I see some uncomfortable aspects in Joshua’s mental state. And he doesn’t look good hitting pads and shadowboxing. Maybe I’m just looking for it but I get there Ruiz 1 feeling……

[Deserter]

But he didn’t look good enough to beat AJ in either of his two fights @ HW.

Happens a lot where a fighter struggles or doesn't look good but turns it on in the big one,he's a classy,clever boxer and I can't see him being beaten easily by anyone.

100%,some people only turn up,or more consistently at least, when it matters the most

Not a like-for-like comparison, but look at some of Holyfield's initial performances at heavyweight - they hardly inspired confidence that he'd go on to achieve what he did.

Good point

Your current feeling is right. Usyk is coming to conquer.

[JamesPhilips]

Well, I'm going to watch it anyway, it's an interesting fight.

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.

Yeah absolutely. But you know there has been so little quality boxing, and I might spend £50 on a night out and not blink so for me, although I resent it, £25 I'll pay.

Jesus Christ, this again

[peter barlow]

Howard Foster a judge. Unsure on the other 2 or the referee. At least Steve Gray or IJL ain't involved.

[margaret thatcher]

weisfeld is one of the best. i cant even recall how foster is as a judge....which leads me to suspect he's good enough not to have shockers (those are easy to remember)

[JamesPhilips]

Matt Christie of Boxing News puts his balls on the line and surprisingly goes for Usyk stoppage in 10!

[Oiky]

Fair play to him

[fanman]

Joshua has all the pedigree. It should be hard for usyk to land without putting himself in harm's way. Is usyk good enough to move, move, and then spring a combo at an advantageous angle & continue.
Joshua by decision is the obvious pick.
But something about usyks calibre, confidence, and character that makes you think it will be a real contest.

[Noxy]

I just saw an IFL interview with Usyk. He says banal stuff but he does it in a way that makes you enjoy the interview.

[oogiebe]

The closer we get to the fight, the more I think Usyk has more than just a small chance. He's a crafty devil and tough as they come.

i think he knows too much for Joshua and will be super confident,he's not just another ordinary challenger,he's a top fighter with pedigree,i'm ignoring his 2 heavyweight fights so far and think he's got plenty to show on Saturday night.

Southpaw
Odd style
Tremendous footwork (providing weird angles and movement)
Ring guile
Enough power to wear AJ out over a long fight.

He’s not called The Cat for no reason.

I don't know how to watch it absolutely free, However I registered last week on ScreenVariety Tv for $few/yearly. Streams on ScreenVariety Tv is just amazing. I think you can't find better here. It's working on my mac and iphone. I'm not sure about linux or windows (i don't have any of them) but I think it should work there too. Look for ScreenVariety Tv
