    Looks solid to me Usyk, I don't think he has bulked up ether.

    I don't expect Usyk to come in any heavier than 225 pounds.

    Not saying he is going to win, but for sure? Usyk is a fighter at his absolute peak.

    Usyk is not slightly weight drained, like most big cruiser-weights fighting at cruiser-weight.

    He has been training and living as a heavyweight, unbound by restrictions of weight classes.

      Usyk is staring up to a guy. Not something he’s used too. I know some people think Usyk can outbox AJ. But will Usyk engage and try and steal early rounds or will he be wary of AJs early power? AJ being taller, heavier and stronger, will Usyk be able to achieve enough in 12 rounds? AJs Jab will be a big factor. If it’s enough to keep Usyk from releasing his hands it will be hard for him to score real points as the lighter puncher. Usyk’s skin will mark up more noticeable than AJ’s also. Is Usyk that good and AJ that bad?

        It's not that easy, bro, if you know your boxing. If it were at cruiser or a catchweight, I wouldn't hesitate for a sec picking Usyk. I don't like watching heavyweight boxing much, but this time is an exception for Usyk!

          Nah.

          AJ is narrow boned. He has a tiny head, narrow shoulders, small wrists and super long calves that add 2 inches of extra height.

          Usyk was much wider and thicker.

            Definitely needs to stay the hell away from those body shots and uppercuts.

            If he can out-slick the big Brit and pile on points for about seven rounds, the champ will start to fade and he'll be in the driver's seat.

              The guys 6'3 and a solid 220lbs he is a HW and not a particularly small one by any means.
              Problem is today you're expected to be a 250+ lb fat slob. Usyk is what a good size, in shape HW is supposed to look like.

              AJ is just a unit and just about all the HWs will look small next too him.

              Where was all this too small talk when AJ was face-to-face with a barely 6', 220lb & flabby Povetkin? Or Ruiz who barely comes up to Ajs chin? or Parker who is around the same dimensions as Usyk only carrying a bit of podge?

                    Joe Joyce is the same size as Anthony Joshua.

                      Usyk has the skills to win. But he has not looked the same as a heavyweight. Maybe he'll put everything together for this fight. It's going to be interesting to watch.
