Who ya got?

I got Holmes in a brilliant back and forth Chess match of a bout. Holmes would probably need to rely on his jab a little less in this bout, and his counter right hand a little more frequently. Both men would be steadily making adjustments, and having to try to find different ways to land as they get each other's timing and rhythms down.

I feel like Holmes would be pushing the pace a little bit more, and that would probably allow him to edge more of those close rounds that could go either way.

I don't see any knockdowns in this fight. Just a brilliant tactical battle between 2 great Ring Generals with top notch Ring IQ's.

I am going in this with Usyk in a close fight. Holmes would be winning first half and Usyk figuring things out in the second and going hard in championship rounds.
