Will Usyk be given a fair shake in the UK?

[kushking]

I'm not so sure Usyk has it in him to win to begin with but if he slips like he did v Chisora I don't see the ref waiving it off as a slip if its v AJ. I am not a UK/AJ hater by any means but its obvious to me that Usyk will have to win very clearly to take it on the cards as we've seen awful favoritism in a few fights in the past & a few bs stoppages.

I don't think theres any way Usyk will be allowed to win even if he deserves to in a full hotspurs stadium unless its a clear as day UD. I think AJ will have a handpicked ref,& 2 judges might already have cards filled out. ( The non weisfeld judges,as weisfeld had klit ahead of AJ at time of stoppage,& the 2 other judges already look like the sketchy randoms. )

I'm not saying that the US doesn't have robberies but AJ is the biggest attraction in the UK in any sport & him losing would derail hundreds of mils in future revenue

I don't think Usyk can win by decision unless it's a complete one-sided shutout with no competitive rounds. I'm also concerned the fight will be stopped the moment he's hurt or gets dropped/cut.

I imagine he will have the normal privileges and benefits that a house/promotional fighter enjoys but nothing more.

I am not a match room hater,but Eddie Hearn seems like he has full reign over Uk boxing. If there is funny business I don't think AJ would even be aware of it.

Well yeah, gotta imagine that any rounds that are even remotely close are gonna go Joshua's way. Usyks definitely facing an uphill struggle but probably not vastly more than most fighters on the road.

Tbh if Usyk is there at the end he's likely to win a lot of rounds clearly if AJ gases because he is gonna be out boxing him clearly.

I think its gonna be cagey because AJ wont want to gas and Usyk himself will be circumspect for a fair few rounds because he wont want to get ironed out unnecessarily in the first 6 if he knows AJ will tire which he usually does, although admittedly he gains a 2nd wind usually.

I'd be surprised if Usyk won clearly and was robbed because if he does win clearly I think it will likely be because AJ has blown a gasket and will treading water at the end.

It is an interesting fight. I see AJ on points

There’s so much funny business that goes on man. So much stuff people don’t even realize. The guys from the UK are very arrogant. Professional, but definitely arrogant.

This is how it is.

[4truth]

Sure they will, might even splash a little water on his face, if that doesn’t work

Usyk can win 12 rounds like he did against Gassiev, and eek out a draw
