AJ's coming in trimmer so that he can be more athletic against Usyk. His greater natural power should be able to wear Usyk down.
What Chance Do You Give Usyk To Upset Joshua?

Everyone has a chance. But I’d give him less of a chance than I gave Andy Ruiz in their first fight. At least I knew had crazy fast hands in the pocket and AJ back then struggled against short fighters 6’1 and below. The only thing I didn’t know much about was Andy’s chin.
Usyk always look uncomfortable whenever he gets hit and he’s not as fast as AJ. And he also likes doing more gloves touching than actually punching.
It all depends on how AJ looks fight week. If he looks great then Usyk has no chance. But if he looks all bruised up and comprised - it’s another upset on the horizon.Comment

You aren’t beating Joshua on the cards and Usyk isn’t a big puncher. Best he can hope for is getting clearly robbed. I think he has a great shot at out boxing Joshua though. My feeling is the fight goes one of two ways. Either Joshua is just way too big and hits way too hard and Usyk gets beaten up and stopped or Usyk boxes Joshua’s ears off and is robbed on the cards.Comment

The way the poll options are phrased could be better but since you got the option of 'I think he'll win' I went with 'very good chance'. I think Joshua will probably win, not least cos he'll get the favourable judging but I think Usyk has got a genuine shot. Usyk manages to not get KOd or just takes a coupla and runs the rest of the night then I think it's entirely likely he'll land the majority of the clean shots... lot of it's gonna depend on how he reacts when he gets hit though.Comment

I just don't think he has the right style. It's not because he's small, it's because he's a high cardio output guy and he's going to look to out work Joshua, who, can work fine and hits hard as ****.
I don't think Usyk's durable enough to stick to his gameplan, win, and not get KO'd. I think Joshua's power will either throw him off his game or knock him out. I give Usyk very little chance in this fight. I was more skeptical earlier but now I'm pretty sure Joshua's gonna beat him convincingly.Comment

It depends of what version of both these guys show up. But it’s the heavyweights so 1 punch can change every thing. If anybody knows that AJ Does, Usyk is consider one of the best cruiser weight ever for a reason. The kid can fight and his movement could create problems.Comment

I didn’t know you think AJ has decent set of skills - I thought you think he’s a big stiff robot like the rest of these muppets. The same ones who claimed he can’t box on the backfoot.Comment
