    To be honest, Joshua - Usyk 2 is a mismatch

    There are no signs Joshua can do it any better in a rematch. Usyk is not Ruiz and dancing circles around him won`t work.

    Rematches should happen when they make sense, not when they make zero sense.

    everybody pretends like this is a big fight and than they will all be like surprised when Usyk whoops his ass even worse.

    He probably will but you can never count out gayJ. there is a puncher's chance, and what i fear the most: the matchroom pre-filled scorecards chance.

    What if GayJ is told just survive 12 rounds and we give you the W this time, since its gayJs last rodeo if he loses this one. gravy train last stop!

    I expect lots of madness!

      It's not a mismatch but he will lose again.

        AJ deserves the rematch. He beat Ruiz in that rematch. And on top of that, he was champion for a long time prior to losing to Ruiz. He deserves the respect a former HW champion should get.

        This is very similar to when Floyd Patterson got a rematch against Sonny Liston. Except that AJ made it to the final bell. It's highly unlikely that he'll win here, but he deserves the benefit of the doubt.

          I think you learn more from defeat than from a win so Josh will likely do a little better than last time.
          usyk will do what he did last time as that what worked.

            Ruiz Junior was more of daunting rematch for Joshua to prepare for.

            Here was a fighter who? Took Joshua's power at maximum intensity.

            He took the power, and came back fighting even harder.

            Usyk has not taken Joshua's power at maximum intensity, and he was shook at times in the fight. Whenever Joshua started to get semi-violent, I think Usyk was shaken.

            Joshua to his credit, fought the wrong tactical fight. But what nobody seems to acknowledge, is that he hung in there

            He hung in there with Usyk, and made it competitive at his own game.

            It is still a monumental challenge for Joshua, he is still attempting to achieve a feat that has never happened before.

            Beat Usyk as a professional, beat a fighter with a unprecedented record.

            I personally think Joshua will win the rematch. All of his traits, make him a more dangerous opponent over the long game.

            His ability to learn, his obsessive analytical nature, and near psychopathic work ethic.

            People are spooked, Joshua's critics are completely utterly spooked.

              when i think power i think beterbiev. when i think usyk i think lomachenko. if robert garcia is really this good trainer, aj gets his belts back, just like teo had lomachenko fighting a negative fight. eastern euro delusion in some posts about usyk pocket fighting with aj and aj who is a good combo puncher needing a lucky punch. can't make this stuff up. a lucky punch might be wilder bc he has to look for that one opening over 12 rounds

                When Floyd Mayweather Junior out boxed his opponents, at the end of the fight? Mayweather sustained very little damage.

                Usyk was battered by Joshua. It was pretty much the most damage, I have ever seen inflicted on Usyk.

                People continue to overlook this. Just look at Usyk after the fight. He was beaten up.

                What I think it is? People are just trying to convince themselves that Joshua is afraid. But all the signs are there, that he is not afraid 'Nowhere near to the extent people have been trying to make out for months'.

                People are completely spooked.

                The Thread starter is a hardcore Tyson Fury fan. The man is disappointed.

                  It is a 50/50 fight.

                  Usyk is one of my favorite fighters and I think he can be KO'd by AJ in the rematch. Hope I am totally wrong.

                    AJ is one of the top money makers in the sport. Usyk is always susceptible to a robbery if AJ performs better than the first fight. I hope he finishes the job within the distance this go round and removes any chance of being robbed.
