Joshua v Usyk 25th September - Tottenham Stadium

I used to think usyk would be a really tough match up for Joshua but after watching usyk at heavyweight he just isn't showing enough to make me think he can pull of the win... Chisora is obviously a knight are to fight against but chisora is no Joshua and he had usyk in great discomfort at stages(even though usyk won).. Usyk won't get away with giving away a lot of early rounds like he's been doing.. I think this is going to be like Lopez v lomachenko except when usyk tries to turn it up in the second half Joshua takes his head off.. Usyk doesn't look resilient enough to me (at heavyweight) and Joshua is pretty good and very powerful.


I do hope usky wins though... This will also be the third Olympic gold medalist that Joshua has beaten, I have no idea if that's impressive or not come to think of it.

I have to work tomorrow night but I look forward to watching it in the early hours of Sunday morning. It has the potential to be a very entertaining fight. Chisora has already shown that Usyk is not the monster he was now that he is fighting at heavyweight. You can get to him and make him very uncomfortable with educated and sustained pressure and Joshua has genuinely added stuff to his game fight by fight that makes him a nightmare for almost anyone that faces him. He may not be the greatest all rounder or the most devastating finisher we have seen in the heavies, but he can only deal with who his in front of him and he has done that even with Ruiz and the adjustments made for the rematch. In any era he would be more than competitive and he has a while to go if he can keep on progressing.

He is on a bit of a hiding to nothing because if he handily beats Usyk he will be made out to be too big all along and he he loses he will be dismissed as a hype job simply for losing to a very good opponent. Fenster is right, if Joshua sparks out Usyk or stops him on his feet, he deserves a lot of credit.

If he does that and Fury stops Wilder or beats him on points the possibility of AJ /Fury, especially in the UK, is fascinating given their respective journeys and contrasting styles and personalities. Lot of ifs there though.

Joshua 240. Usyk 220. Joshua 'looks lean' 'Lost too much weight'. Usyk 'beefed up' 'packed on muscle'. All a bit of nonsense isn't it? Joshua's settled around the 240 mark for a few years now. Usyk has gone up by 4lbs since the Del Boy fight.

Usyks suit ;D He was all over wish buying a joker outfit no?

Fuck me that was brutal. Bit morbid but that was Apolloesque.

Sup freaks, thought I'd drop in and say Ello, wasn't sure if the place was still here.

Have I missed anything on the forum in the last few months?

Hatton lost that 5-1.

Pathetic decision.

Thought young Hatton got worked over there for the L. Not doing him any favors with the high visibility early bouts.

Hatton should feel embarrassed and matchroon fixed it for their house fighter.

AJ will not lose a decision today.

Okolie knocks down Prasovic in the 2nd round. Going all his way.

Okolie stops his opponent in the 3rd round.

Dillian should have made an effort today and not wore an outfit from 1970s.
