    Calling it now, Usyk by stoppage late rounds

    Calling it now, Usyk wins by stoppage between rounds 8-10

    AJ looks shook. Their weights roughly the same. Usyk same weight, AJ gained 4 instead of trying to slim down.

    Impossible for AJ to make true adjustments with a new coach in one go. Usyk will work him over with angles and accumulation like last fight but last fight he was safety first down to the end, wouldnt press for the stoppage when it was there to be had. This time when he sees AJ fading he will go for the kill.

    Depends on how much Usyk works the body

        Joshua early KO or Usyk late KO. I bet on Usyk.

            I saw that too he looked tentative if he doesn't stun Usyk earlier he will unravel. Joshua had the same look against Ruiz but Ruiz showed up even fatter than the first fight and all but gave the win away to Joshua.

            There is something missing with Joshua when it comes to ATG make up. Fury has it, even Wilder mentally has it but it seems like Joshua is missing this killer instinct. He's too nice of a guy.

              I think Usyk gets KOs him in the mid rounds

              I’ve never rated AJ

              Before the KO Povetkin was lightening him up with hooks

              WK knocked him down and should have got him out of there

              Didn’t look particularly good against Parker or Takam

              Whyte rocked him to his boots

              Ruiz destroyed in him the first fight. While AJ did well I’m the rematch there were a few hairy moments

              AJ has always been very beatable

                I also have Usyk by stoppage around the halfway point. It’s either that or Joshua goes for broke early and either guy could go in the first couple of rounds if that happens.

                  Are you a body language expert because they both looked normal to me?

                    I can't argue with this... I feel the same, round 13 ding ding. We are human and there is a natural tendency for us to react when we hear things like "Im going to KO this guy this time!" However the stats tell us that seldom can one fighter come back in the situation AJ finds himself in... I also can't help but feel that AJ knows this on some level.
