• Usyk Joshua 2

Posted: **Fri Aug 19, 2022 2:52 pm**

Huge night of boxing tomorrow night headlined by the rematch between Usyk and Joshua. AJ has come in four pounds heavier than the last fight and Usyk is a similar weight to last time out despite the rumours he had put 15kg on.

Heart says AJ by knockout but more than likely Usyk will win late on. Had a flutter on Usyk round 11 at 20/1.

Reasonable undercard too.

Oleksandr Usyk vs Anthony Joshua
Filip Hrgovic vs Zhilei Zhang
Callum Smith vs Mathieu Bauderlique
Badou Jack vs Richard Rivera
Ramla Ali vs Crystal Garcia Nova
Andrew Tabiti vs James Wilson
Daniel Lapin vs Jozef Jurko
Ziyad Almaayouf vs Jose Alatorre

What do people think for tomorrow?

Posted: **Fri Aug 19, 2022 3:09 pm**

I think Lapin will win comfortably though I expect it to go the distance

At £27, they can go forth and multiply. Dodgy stream for me.

100%, cheaper to go the pub to watch it.

As much as I can’t really see it, due to Usyk being an elite fighter, I really am rooting for AJ and will be sat in a bar tomorrow night watching it

I think (hope) AJ has learned from last time and will start throwing bombs from round 1. Win or go out on his shield.

If he doesn’t then there is no shame in losing as Usyk is world class but I don’t think there is a future for him at the top level. Great career though

Brill. Thanks for swift response. Appreciated.
Half ten, if I get away OK, is on the wire for ne, as I have to charge on the way. So really touch and go but in with a chance!!

As you say, 5 live if still on the way.

AJ has to treat this as a 6 round fight.

He has to come out all guns blazing and throw bombs, if he lands he has a chance as his power can put anyone out.

Iv a sneaky feeling he will land it, don’t ask me why as he got schooled in the last fight but I’m going for AJ round 5.

According to Talksport’s fight club the fight card says walk outs start at 10:54pm uk time.

The worst thing AJ can do is go forward full tilt trying to end Usyk early. He will just eat sharp counters and struggle to pin Usyk down as his feet are too slow. The second worse thing he can do is stand off and box at distance, he isn’t good enough to do that despite the huge size and reach advantage. Usyks hand and more specifically foot speed negates AJs size advantage.

What AJ has to do is apply pressure with a high guard and walk Usyk down. Once Usyk is in range and/or close to the ropes he then needs to let of 2,3 and 4 punch combinations then back to the high guard and walk down and repeat. If you know anything about Robert and Mike’s Garcia this is how they operate and it’s a smart move by AJ to get Robert onboard.

It will rely on AJ taking a few shots to land his own ans his gas tank will need to be good.

How I see it going. Usyk will move for a few rounds to draw the sting and then start upping the pace and Break AJ down when his gas tank deserts him. Usyk KO before the 10th round.

Joshua to win by KO within 5 rounds. If he doesn't he stands slim to no chance in to the later rounds.

Posted: **Fri Aug 19, 2022 10:16 pm**

Would love AJ to win, but I think he’s met a boxer in usyk who is just too good. Anything can happen at heavyweight obviously, and one uppercut from AJ at close range on the chin will end it. But you have to favour Usyk, AJ had a horrible plan in the first fight but usyk was also exceptional. You also think back to Ruiz 2. Would AJ have won so easily if Ruiz hadn’t put on 20 stone partying since his victory. Not sure. Since that loss AJ seems to have lost his aggression a little. He’s a good boxer, but he’s nowhere near usyk, fury and argue less skilled than Ruiz even. But he makes up for that with combinations, power, size and speed which for a big guy he has a lot of. He can win, i just don’t think he will unfortunately. Please prove me wrong AJ!

Posted: **Fri Aug 19, 2022 11:09 pm**

Usyk just too good all around for AJ, unfortunately.

Posted: **Fri Aug 19, 2022 11:12 pm**

what once was perhaps a noble sport has been flushed down a giant bog. Awash with laddism, dreadful media coverage for the betting fraternity. it stinks to high heaven.

Posted: **Sat Aug 20, 2022 12:12 am**

Joshua also has poor boxing IQ.

In the first fight Usyk was able to easily position his lead foot on the outside of AJs. If AJ doesn’t address that problem in this fight it’s as good as over.

Posted: **Sat Aug 20, 2022 12:20 am**

Joshua to be showed up for the stiff he is. No head movement against an elite fighter only will have one outcome …again

Posted: **Sat Aug 20, 2022 1:02 am**

AJ will do very well to come out of this fight without getting badly injured.

Mind you, 20/30 odd million quid (whichever) will go a long way as a comfort blanket.

Posted: **Sat Aug 20, 2022 7:29 am**

Will be watching on DAZN for 2 €

I wonder what time on Sunday Tyson announces that he will demolish whichever dosser wins tonight.

Posted: **Sat Aug 20, 2022 8:54 am**

Usyk in round 6-10 Stoppage
Or Joshua in round 6-10 KO

Posted: **Sat Aug 20, 2022 9:47 am**

Usyk to win 7-9, he's got AJ'S number.

Both guaranteed 31mil minimum I believe from what I’ve read.

Was thinking same thing, but I’m all about options and enjoy seeing people pick it apart

Organisation needs to shape up for the main event.

4 minute round in the Jack fight - Bell didn't ring

Posted: **Sat Aug 20, 2022 10:44 pm**

Anyone got a decent stream for this? I'm finding it hard to hand over 27 quid for it!

Posted: **Sat Aug 20, 2022 10:47 pm**

Streams?

Posted: **Sat Aug 20, 2022 11:29 pm**

Evenly matched so far, AJ doing well.

Posted: **Sat Aug 20, 2022 11:35 pm**

usyk starting to get a bit of control

Posted: **Sat Aug 20, 2022 11:36 pm**

Yeah, Joshua doing better than last time- maybe very slightly ahead but he needs to keep it up. Can he?

Posted: **Sat Aug 20, 2022 11:44 pm**

turning into first fight now. Usyk's just negating all of AJ's physical advnatages

Posted: **Sat Aug 20, 2022 11:44 pm**

he needs to change it up here

Posted: **Sat Aug 20, 2022 11:51 pm**

Usyk struggling this round.

Posted: **Sat Aug 20, 2022 11:52 pm**

yeah much better. Go on AJ!

Posted: **Sat Aug 20, 2022 11:53 pm**

AJ gassing in the 10th.

Posted: **Sat Aug 20, 2022 11:54 pm**

compared to the likes of Mike Tyson this is like watching slow motion boxing

Posted: **Sat Aug 20, 2022 11:55 pm**

Great last 2 rounds
