Well I'm hoping that my estimation is correct. I really do think there's no way Joshua should win this except if he gets a lucky punch... I'm used to putting my money where my mouth is lol. If I get past this one though no more of these lol.

Lefty you're right about how to respond to trolls. It is the better way to do things. They just get in my craw cuz they are kind of like bullies. I have a pathological hatred for bullies.

Well, I must admit my method works better in a small community like the History section than it does in a large city like NSB. Over there, someone may not even notice that you are ignoring them without an ignore button, but they will get the idea in the History section.

Redeemer is probably not taking your bet anyway. But he is right about one thing--it is down to one fight, because like he said, Fury will no longer be interested in Joshua if the later is beaten again by Usyk. So waiting around for for Fury and Joshua to fight would be interminable and an out in itself.

Well, okay, I didn't know you were running a company, putting together a martial arts course and rehabbing a knee. That alone could weigh down a man of your years. The high blood pressure of arguing with Redeemer's ilk is no added benefit. By all means, do your creative work now, if you retain the drive, for eventually it deserts you, and your inflection point may be drawing nigh.

I feel Usyk should be the favorite. Joshua will probably be quite motivated. Usyk's frame of mind is a giant question mark, as you have noted. He would rather be fighting for his county's honor when it was not being invaded and about to collapse, but like a Medal of Honor winner, he may find his inspiration in tragedy.

Joshua is a guy who is used to rematches by now. He should be relaxed. I heard, though, that he hired a bum trainer.

Redeemer seems confident, which may be an act. Remember, losing the bet to you only amounts to the inconvenience of changing his user name to Redeemer, something he has probably already done multiple times.

- - I doubt Usyk saw battle on the frontline even if witness to the results. An intelligent, accomplished fellow like him can be leveraged better in the field communications technology. He was never a grunt.

AJ is similarly troubled by having to manage hundreds of millions British Pounds stashed in his account, I mean how can a bunch of impoverished mugs on a seedy boxing forum ever imagine the headaches such riches bring whilst training his keister off for his revenge match with Usyk?

This that we bear witness to today is a rare warp of Time that only a chosen few will ever be able to understand.

AJ is going to build his legacy a la SRR through rematchs. Expect an AJ domination of Usyk, possibly a TKO.

Besides I can't see how Usyk could possibly focus and prepare for this fight.

There are amazing examples of athletes throughout history where they have risen to the moment against all odds and conventional thinking. The MNF game when Favre, the day after his dad died, played the greatest game of his storied career. Will Usyk match the level of focus he had in the first match? Time will tell, but when it comes to toughness, both physically and mentally, I would give the edge to Usyk. That's what's great about the heavyweight division. A fighter could be dominating a fight round after round, and lose the fight with one mental lapse. This should be a great fight.

I hope you're not too serious about this - that you're gonna leave the site if Usyk loses! Not that I think he does - but this is HW boxing, so anything can happen.

The most interesting debate I've had here, was when we discussed AI, Bohr/Einstein and quantum entanglement... so I would really hate to see you leave for good! In case AJ wins, I hope you would just take a couple of weeks off to lick your wounds - and then make a "comeback" (like Willow The Wisp).

I have always enjoyed your posts. Your knowledge of facts is encyclopediac!

As always, I give the much neglected advice. Ignore these people, not with a button but without one. You could be responding to them, but you are not. This is what bothers them, since they think so highly of themselves. It seems I am the only one who can follow that advice. Others, Like Margie, employ the ignore button, surely a wussy move. He cannot respond to his enemies but doesn't follow the right line in getting there. Imagine barring someone on a boxing forum, of all places, for an opinion of theirs.

I feel powerful that I can bother someone that much without even trying.

Trolls need responses in a place like this. I don't give them responses anymore. Now by my standards it is OK to talk about them, but not to them. That way they are never actually in any conversation, but on the outside trying to find an opening, bleating for attention.

Agree to this, I don't even know who this person is, but you are a smart guy & would hate to lose your opinion and views.

A wise man once said, "the moon don't go howling at the dogs."
In other words, an intelligent guy such as yourself don't need to bless them with your attention.

Usyk is by far the more talented fighter. If it comes down to motivation, I doubt there will be any drop off as far as he's concerned. I don't think it's a coincidence that Ukraine has produced so many champions. They are fighters naturally, as we can see them battle Russia to maintain their independence. Among them are the Klitschko brothers, Lomachenko and Usyk himself. His countrymen want him to beat Joshua for the Ukraine.

- - Look closer.

Notice the scar starting from the inside of Usyk right eye angling upwards waiting to bust open and gush forth again.

I did look closer - who the hell is he standing there with, mercenaries? Not Ukrainian soldiers.

Why the black uniform? That plays right into the *****/Carlson 'Ukrainians are ****' propaganda.

REDEEMER is a pest of the highest order with a big mouth and a small boxing IQ. I'd be surprised if he had the testicular fortitude to accept your bet as he has weaseled out of several with me by using semantic games, so I'm glad you're pinning him down with a "contract."

Best of luck to you and to Usyk.

- - If Usyk wins, good chance he looks worse than their last fight and gets another gift.

Here stitched up their last post fight-

Ah yes, the oh-so-accurate "judge a fight by whose face looks better at the end" scoring criteria.

I usually expect very little from your posts...and you rarely disappoint.

I had to pin him down hard lol. It's all in the threads.
