I may be wrong, but I believe AJ HAS to find a way to hurt Usyk to win this fight. Sounds like his team thinks so too. And he is mentally trying to focus on being very aggressive and effective. The only time Ali lost was when someone successfully hurt him. It wasn't easy to do. Likewise, it won't be easy to catch and hurt Usyk. But AJ's hopes rest on him being able to accomplish that.
Can he do it? Certainly. But will he get it done? That's the $30 million dollar question.
On the other side Usyk has faced many bigger, stronger opponents that were trying to catch him with something big. He has always been tough enough and elusive enough to avoid that ... as well as having the skills to make opponents pay, via superb counter-punching and unexpected aggressiveness of his own. He really is a special boxer at times.
This will be a fascinating fight. Whoever is most effective is going to win (as usual). A bigger, more toned Usyk vs a more aggressive and focused Joshua. I think Usyk will avoid the worst and end up hurting AJ, much like he did Chisora. By the latter rounds Usyk had defused Chisora's aggressiveness and had him refocused on protecting himself. That's where I think this is going, but a few good connections by Joshua could completely change all of that. If AJ hurts Usyk we will all see something that has rarely happened ... can Usyk survive? Can he come back from being hurt? Hey may not know the answer to that himself right now.
Let's get it on!

That's the only way Fury could beat Steve Cunningham.
The only reason I'd see Fury winning is because of how damn heavy he is. He goes up to nearly 280lbs. He has a huge weight advantage over his opponent and can actually stay mobile with all that weight. That and punching with that much weight on you is going to hurt. With all Usyk's technical ability, I think the size would be too much for him to overcome against Fury.Comment
