Usyk vs Joshua/Fury vs Wilder

[Guest]

Haven't seen a thread on this yet.

AJ's got his work cut out I think, Usyk's very capable of winning on points. AJ seems to have slimmed down a bit which is either very clever in preparation for a man he might have to chase for 12 rounds. Or looked at another way he might be preparing to box a far superior boxer and he should have stayed big and tried to walk him down with his power.

I did have Fury to beat Wilder all day long but, and maybe I'm just getting caught up in the pre fight talk, I'm not so sure now.

Wilder seems focused beyond belief and Fury's been out of the game for a long time and he's not one to keep himself fit. I know he's brought himself back before but he's not getting any younger and I wonder if a little bit of complacency might kick in after how easy it was last time

Re: Usyk vs Joshua/Fury vs Wilder

Fury might have to watch it , Wilder does seem more up for it, I would not underestimate a man that has such a destructive right hand , it has taken out 41 boxers ,if it lands look out .

I think AJ learned a big lesson Andy Ruiz Jr , however delmbox points out Usyk's is very capable , but I think AJ will spark him out .

What price on two knockouts ,Wilder & AJ within 5 rounds ?

Re: Usyk vs Joshua/Fury vs Wilder

I dont buy into usyk being this boxing machine. He couldn't dominate chisora, didnt dominate bellew when boxing who are 2 levels down from AJ.

I dont see AJ as a massive puncher but he throws fast. He was so dominate in the rematch with ruiz who is a very good boxer, first few rounds will be interesting to see if he can hurt him.

Usyk will have to win by a wide margin in order to get a decision in the UK and on one of Uncle Eddie's cards. Fury will batter wilder. Wilder can't box, fury has taken his best shots and beaten him twice. Shouldn't even be a trilogy. Fury had Wilders number.Also, Wilder should have taken a warm up fight after the beating he took.

I hope usyk beats Joshua. My prediction is that usyk will start quickly. Joshua will hopefully gas out.

Usyk dominated Bellew for the final 3 rounds of that fight, softened him and brutally knocked Anthony spark out.

Re: Usyk vs Joshua/Fury vs Wilder

Im not buying into the Usyk hype either. He made Bellew look like Floyd Mayweather for a few rounds. Good fighter no doubt but just how good I dont know.

However I dont think AJ is that great either.

Great fighters lose and come back but that defeat to Ruiz was an embarrassment.

Basically run and jabbed his way to a points win which was an ok performance.

I think AJ will probably win on points.

Wilder is a one trick pony but its one hell of a weapon.

I think Fury stops him again though.

Then Fury outclasses and stops Joshua.

But that was half the fight and bellew is not a good fighter. He couldn't hurt Cleverley and managed to just about beat haye on 1 leg.

Re: Usyk vs Joshua/Fury vs Wilder

Both fights are too close to call in my opinion.

Usk is an excellent technician and despite the questions about the size differential he is hardly a blown up middleweight . Joshua is the bigger hitter and has worked hard on his ring craft since the surprise stoppage against Ruiz. I would probably back AJ on balance as he is more likely to win by a stoppage, on paper, and has home advantage .

The Wilder v Fury fight is even harder to call. Mainly because we have no idea what Fury will turn up ,a fit and motivated one or one who has crash dieted and flogged himself to get into shape. Against that he is blatantly a better boxer than Wilder who has previously been wild and a bit of a one trick pony.

However, what a one trick and if Fury drops his concentration then he may well be knocked out.

I’m going to back Fury, but by the slimmest of margins ,on the basis that he has Wilders number after the first two fights.

This is basically how I see it

Usyk seems like a likeable guy but I like Joshua, hope he beats Usyk then smashes Fury (although I think Fury definitely wins that one)

I see that fight differently. In my opinion, usyk was just getting a feel for Bellew. At no point in that fight did I think that Bellew had a chance. When usyk decided to step on the gas, he started to take Bellew apart, almost Knocking him out at the end of the 5th? Usyk is clever, he has that on his side, I hope he beats Joshua, although that could be difficult.

Re: Usyk vs Joshua/Fury vs Wilder

Usyk is a marvelous boxer it was a thing of beauty to see him dismantle Anthony.
Some cruisers can step up, sadly I think that Usyk has been shown to be too small at heavy.

I think AJ stops him late.

Re: Usyk vs Joshua/Fury vs Wilder

AJ beats Usyk comfortably for me and Fury beats Wilder comfortably again. AJ and Fury too big and fast for them

I don't think that AJ will be too fast for Usyk.

Re: Usyk vs Joshua/Fury vs Wilder

I don't think that AJ will be too fast for Usyk.

Yeah much less so than Fury, hard to hit then, although Usyk has the technical skills. I think Fury will have an easier night than AJ will
