Comments Thread For: Joshua-Usyk Heavyweight Title Fight Set For September 25, Announcement Forthcoming

Usyk will probably have Papachenko in his corner. And what Loma's team has learned is that starting late is not a winning plan and Usyk is a very late starter.

I feel like Usyk will take a note from Loma's recent win and go hunting for AJ right from the begging to mess with AJs weak mental psyche. If Usyk can outsmart AJ and come out like a badass, with great caution, he will have TKO.

OMG! OMG! OMG!

This is much more entertaining than any Wilder/Fury of this world... Interesting matchup ... If styles make fights, we're up for a ride ...

Eddie is a big fan of the pre announcement, announcement.

This is a trait that i have noticed about him. Like it's bloody irritating. Am seeing on sky sport pre-announcements. Like WTF? How many of those are you going to get through before they actually announce a fight?

Spinks - Holmes 1

That's a likely scenario. Wait and see if Fury wins. If Wilder somehow pulls it off...the Usyk fight gets announced. If Fury wins as they expect...it's back to paying Usyk to sit out so they can do the undisputed fight in December without the risk.

It was the same tactic used for the last 6 months, and people STILL don't see it.

This! Usyk and Loma are countrymen, and train together. Loma and Papa earned a big comeback win with their tweaked strategy vs Nakatani. Therefore, Usyk gains value from Loma's win and new strategy too. He'd be crazy not to use it (in my limited non-boxing trainer assessment).

Joshua will duck and if the fight somehow happens the only way he wins is via robbery if Hearns pays off the judges, but that's unlikely because he's gonna gas out and be ko'd

If none of the above happens and AJ wins cleanly it's because Usyk is a blown up cruiser and over the hill.

NSB taught me the above

so how much you wanna bet on your so called prediction ? Joshua never Duck’s anybody and he has consistently beaten the best in the heavyweight division and again he will face off with a threat....I say Joshua stops him inside 8 and you can have your prediction .......what do you say mr hickey ?

I was taking the piss.

Anyway I'm not confident to make a prediction, either could win, a lot depends on how confident AJ can be at this stage, I still think he has major issues there but maybe Usyk's lack of power emboldens him which would in this rare situation work in his favour to be almost overconfident.
