Comments Thread For: Khan on Usyk: He's in Great Shape, He's A lot Bigger, A lot Thicker - Still Very Quick

[boxing IQ]

If Usyk is coming in heavier from the first fight, most likely he got a good enough read of Joshua and knows he can set up and go for the knockout. Think Wilder-Fury.

Usyk's building on his style from the first fight while Joshua has a camp to learn a new one.

Usyk by mid to late KO if the ref from Joshua-Parker isn't involved.

Joshua is not learning a new style, he is a innately aggressive fighter. More aggressive than both Fury & Usyk on a fundamental level.

This notion that he is not a aggressive fighter, only started after his loss to Ruiz Junior I.

Think usyk felt some of those shots in there last time out and wants to be sturdier perhaps.

33 extra new pounds is a severe handicap. AJ will win.

230 should be his max. He is known for movement not ko power. If this dude comes in 250 hell slow down n tire after 6 making it favor aj if they just decide to stand n trade. I would love to see Wilder vs Usyk though

I'll laugh if Ukrainian midget bullies bodybuilder this time.

Usyk has never been a big puncher, and adding mass does not suddenly turn you into a big puncher. It could actually make his punching technique, sharpness and power worse 'If he is not as functional at the weight'.

The only reason why Bellew was knocked out by Usyk, was due to him being dead at the weight. Belle would of done better vs Usyk at Heavyweight.

David Haye even the damaged version of Haye that fought Bellew, hits harder than this current Usyk. And Bellew survive Haye's power somewhat.

Make no doubt about it, this is still a monumental task for Joshua. But not because Usyk is some monster puncher destroyer. It is the technical abilities, speed, solid endurance that Joshua has to over come etc.

Remember everyone this is bumbling idiot Khan.

Usyk hasn't gained 33lbs since the last fight, he's lost & regained 33lbs since the last fight.

Who listens to that con merchant prat?

Only when he's fighting shot 38-41 year olds (4of6) with hardly any threat coming back.
