Usyk vs AJ 2: is the fix in?

[Earl-Hickey]

With this fight being in Saudi and DAZN just signing Joshua to a 100m a year deal there's just so much money involved in the AJ business.

The more I think about it, the Cabal doesn't want Usyk to win. Is the fix in?

[MaksBox]

Or the fix was in on the first fight?

Joshua will likely have an edge on the cards, but of course, Usyk can always stop him.... though, that likely does not happen.

Reality is, IF Joshua actually used his advantages, he would walk over and stop Usyk.... but he got gun-shy and let Usyk has his gameplan. Joshua respected Usyk too much.

Win or lose, Joshua is still a HUGE brand in the UK and AJ vs Wilder, AJ vs Fury, and AJ versus some other Brit would quickly recover the investment.

The signs are there so I would not be suprised.

Usyk will be disappointed if he doesn't get the stoppage and so will i ,so i wouldn't have much sympathy for him if he gets jobbed on the cards.

Well, "nobody" wants Usyk to win again, because Fury -Joshua is on the table still. If Joshua wins usyk rematch, I guess Fury comes back from retirement.

Unfortunately, I think Fury doesn`t care to fight Usyk.

6 months before fight > 'Usyk will destroy AJ, he has no hope at all! AJ should avoid at all costs'
3 months before fight > 'I think the fix is on...! AJ must have the judges in his pocket like the first fight where he didn't win on points'
1 day after > Usyk was shit anyway, he never had any chance, just a little migit

Could use this cycle for many boxers lol

Not sure why boxing fans can't just enjoy a fight, but relax guys, it's boxing.

Part of his deal is as a shareholder and brand ambassador. That makes me believe he is hedging his bets. If he loses the fight he still has a job and an income while maintaining a high social media profile. It's what happens in the build up that will determine if the fix is in. The oversized ring that they used in the second Ruiz fight. The referee choice etc etc.

Well last time he was going to stop AJ but then he second guessed it because he wanted to make sure of the rematch payday.

If AJ can make it a little more competitive than the first fight, he wins. Than we get AJ -Fury.

But, I don`t see it happen. l think Usyk beats him again, maybe even by a stoppage.

Usyk retires undefeated, Joshua maybe fights Wilder.

So that's the excuse if Usyk loses?
