    Usyk said at the time that was a hard opponent and I can belive him, there is none of that starting slow and dropping the first 4 rounds against Joyce, because Joyce will not gas out in the second half, he's not an overweight Chisora.

    Usyk might win, but I don't think a 5 round fight 7 years ago is any kind of barometer, this is a 12 rounder and it's going to be a different ball game.

    I have a feeling Joyce is going to take this one, I think Usyk will try his usual slow start but then realize Joyce isn't slowing down, he will fight back hard but his gas tank will actually start to empty first so he will switch to defensive mindedness and he will lose on points
    If Usyk is smart he will be defensive minded right from the start and focus on just landing enough punches to outscore Joyce on a round by round basis. He can't afford to go to town throwing tons of punches like he did in the WBSS fight, even they're all landing, because Joe will take them and keep coming.

    Usyk has tons of stamina, but he can't afford to waste any of it in a 12 round fight vs a 50lb heavier guy with a solid chin and a gas tank equal to his own. Usyk on points in an all action fight with a big finale is my prediction.
