I know Usyk will be more motivated , but I have been underwhelmed by the Witherspoon and Del Boy outings and can see Joshua crushing him.

From what I remember Usyk started slow then eventually turned it on and picked them apart. So maybe if he can get past the first few rounds we'll see what he's about. 

 

Short term I want Usyk to win, long term I want Joshua to win purely because I want to see him fight Fury.

I'm hoping that he was in 2nd gear for those fights to look worse than he actually is to get the big fight with AJ.

I think Usyk does him. He will start cagey then gradually ramp it and when Joshua is blowing out of his arse stop him in about the 9th.

I'm thinking the same. Just wondering will he be able to take AJ's punches though early doors (if they connect). Huge size and weight difference

AJ is only 1 stone heavier

Wow. Thought it was more Rem. 

I'm not why sure its such a massive issue. Usyk has weighed in at 221lb. Evander Holyfield, (who also stepped up from cruiserweight) weighed in at 215lb when he fought Lennox Lewis who weighed in at 246lb, and he wasn't overwhelmed. And Lewis was twice the fighter that AJ is.

Hearn and a few others seem to be pushing this can he carry his power up and take a shot line. I think he passes the test on both accounts and will be AJ's toughest opponent. I keep on changing my mind on what will happen but Usyk on points at 4/1 doesn't look like too bad a bet at the moment.

Good undercard as well which is decent to see. And Anna Woolhouse.... Oh Anna... my sweet Anna 

 

 

 

 

The undercard is terrible, no competitive fights on there.

 

 

Lapin - 1/50
Marku - 1/9
Smith - 1/50
Hatton - 1/25
Okolie - 1/25
