Comments Thread For: Usyk Reportedly Busting Up Sparring Partners, Boxers Being Sent Home

['b']

how hard can boxers like usyk, fury, ward, mayweather, loma etc. punch if they choose to plant their feet? the answer tends towards 'pretty hard' at least.

should be an interesting rematch. usyk via stoppage.

I think between the anger that the war in his home country has caused along with the waiting game and frustration from having to fight Joshua AGAIN, he is mad, he is angry and this time he is looking to knock Joshua the FK OUT! It may be brutal for Joshua or it may play into Joshuas hands, I’m looking forward to finding out!

Ajs not seeing the final bell.

While I don't put much stock in these kinds of stories, it does bring to mind how Usyk refused to break the staredown with Joshua at one of those recent press conferences. He seemed genuinely intense like he was ready to throw down then and there, which stood out to me because Usyk isn't typically like that.

Perhaps the war in Ukraine has really affected him (why wouldn't it) and he's coming into this one more emotionally charged than usual.

Always cracks me up with stories about fighters beating up Sparing partners, it's sparing, they are sparing partners for a reason. Not trying to crap on Usyk, I think he's a really good fighter and will most likely win, but no one is getting scared about stories about sparing.

There will be no sparing come fight night. AJ will not be spared.

More than 30 days til fight night and according to the article Usyk has been going to war in sparring. There's such a thing as peaking too early. It's a fine , delicate balance to not overtrain or peak prematurely, because an athlete can only maintain "peak state" for a very short time.

None of the sparring stories or stare down stories or anything matter.

Joshua is a shot fighter, he's mentally broken.

Usyk wins easily, and we can move on to the next one, this is why I'd like to see Usyk face Wilder, he's not mentally shot, he still has his testicular fortitude and he will attempt to decapitate the little guy.

Joshua will try something new for 2 rounds, it won't work and he will probably quit and then retire.

[ippo]

Its gonna be another ud for Usyk or Joshua will go for the Ko and get it.
