Joyce can’t fight Usyk like he did Dubois, gonna have to push the pace and make Usyk work every second of every round!
Would like Joyce to throw 100
Punches a round, if he does that he’ll beat Usyk!Comment

If I was Usyk; I would cash in my lottery ticket as soon as possible because there are no guarantees that he would hold onto that mandatory spot.
There are a lot of good Heavyweight fighters out there who are more than capable of defeating him. Opportunities like this only come once in a lifetime.
He needs to seize upon this golden opportunity before it gets away from him like it did Dillian Whyte.Comment

I think people are looking waaaaay too much into Usyk's recent performances. He gives me shades of Fury in the sense that he often fights to his opponents level. He only looked troubled against Chisora in the first four rounds, after that point it was an absolute shut out. Chisora wasn't landing anything of significance and was out on his feet in the seventh. Its amazing to me how poor pressure fighting and punching someones arms can be attributed to good boxing. Shows how ****ing clueless a lot of viewers are. I mean there are legit people trying to claim that fight was a draw.
I can see Usyk handling both Joshua and Wilder with relative ease, the latter being more of a difficulty due to Joyce's tank and chin. Joshua I actually think is easy pickings for Usyk, too rudimentary and gasses too easily. It'll be a dull 12 rounder unless Usyk gets caught badly. What made Chisora so wonky was that he is a pressure fighter and he offered one of his better performances that night. For any kind of shot picker, Usyk outboxes them pretty handily unless they go for it...which then becomes a matter of stamina. And Joshua's is poor.Comment

This is it. That's the only way someone with the sheer depth of experience like Usyk becomes undone, he has to be overwhelmed. Chisora showed that but Chisora has always been good at delivering constant pressure. Joyce has the ability to sustain that but he would have to score a finish, his leaky defence will see him losing points on any judges scorecard.Comment

It would be a really weird fight with each at opposite ends of the power and speed spectrum. If Joyce can land that jab though, I think he wins it. If he can't consistently land the jab what hope does he have of landing that right?Comment
