Absolutely stinking undercard. Hopefully the main event is on swiftly.

Usyk dressed like he's about to rob a bank in Gotham City.

Very humble guy however.

To maximise sales the main event wont be on before a set time, probably around 11pm

Annoying but not unexpected I suppose.

 

[JC22]

Closer this gets the more I fancy Usyk. Quite excited for this one to say the least.

 

[Motor City Cobra]

Usyk down to 6/1 for the sparkage…..

Cash is
on, max bet

Just got 7/1 on bet 365. Fiver on. High roller.

 

[Batdad]

This is such a good fight.

I think you can make a case for basically all of the possible results.

In order of likelhood I'm going:

AJ points
Usyk KO
Usyk points
AJ KO
Draw

 

[T_Bone]

I got 50/1 Usyk to win round 10

 

[Toronado]

Both looked really well on the scales, Usyk a similar weight to the Chisora fight where he’d definitely lost some of that cruiserweight speed !

Anthony Joshua: 240lbs
Oleksandr Usyk: 221lbs

Same.

 

[gatopreto]

Joshua will win. He'll make dents in him early, stop Usyk from forcing the pace and get the stoppage mid to late.

 

[Toronado]

Cant believe Hearns put Hatton above Smith in the running order !

It’s only because of who his dad is. He’s shocking.

 

[Idlewild Mackem]

Usyk definitely the bet here. Fancy him to win it between rounds 8-11.

 

[Pepe]

Looking forward to this.

Usyk definitely the bet here. Fancy him to win it between rounds 8-11.

Nah AJ too big too strong. Taller, longer reach, 20lbs of lean muscle...naturally the bigger and stronger man. As good as Usyk is, his skill won't be able to compensate for that. AJ to win!

Think unless Joshua gets him finished early then it'll be Usyk's to lose.

Don't think he has to finish him but I'd defo say Joshua has got to make dents in him early and let him feel the power. If Usyk gets into his groove mid rounds I'll fear the worst for AJ.

I don't think Usyk will be able to pressurise AJ and force the pace against AJ like he normally does.

 

[daveydavey]

Surprised with the groundswell of support for Usyk. I know he's good, and appreciate his achievements to date, but really did not see anything in the Witherspoon or Chisora (particularly given it was his second go at Heavyweight and against a hard working but essentially journeyman / contender) fights that merits confidence he can win against AJ tonight. I don't see an Usyk stoppage at all, famous last words of course.

I can see some technical rounds going Usyk's way early, although don't think that'll happen in the numbers predicted, and have personally backed Joshua 7-10 on the SkyBet boost at 5/1.


What was that predictor league that was going?

daveydavey: Joshua TKO (#8)
