Oleksandr Usyk v Anthony Joshua 2 - August 20th

If Usyk make it past 5 he wins again ,

AJ will have the intent to stand in the pocket for longer this time , Him & his team know he MUST be willing to take a hard shot or two around to get enough of his own off, It can work of course it can he is big enough & hits hard enough to hurt Usyk but if he does not put a considerable dent in Usyk by midway in the 5th its over for him,

His willingness to take shots will disappear after that, he will get on his bike & start to come apart ,Stoppage in 10 or 11 for Usyk

If i had to pick AJ its by round 2 ko , but i lean to Usyk stopping him in ............lets say 11

This might be the first fight I'll buy in quite some time, beauty of Saudi is the fight should get going around 10.

I'd have this one as a 60/40 Usyk, can't get past Joshua being so much bigger and stronger, surely has to be better than the last time. I'm not totally convinced by Usyk, for me AJ was brutal the last day. I can see AJ being much more aggressive this time and wobbling Usyk early before running out of gas in the middle to late rounds. If I was to put the house on it I'd go Usyk points.

This for me is a very hard one to pick.

There seems to be quite a vibe from AJ as regards him being sure about getting the win.

It's a huge fight for him, and he must know the price of failure.

Simple: He has to just give it a fooking go!!! Commit, engage, press, impose and put actual spite on punches

AJ is 2-3 inches taller and will be likely 15-25 lbs heavier. Go in there and try to dominate, not just compete.

Worst that happens? He loses.....

But maybe he wins if he actually gives it a proper committed go!!! Losing because he AGAIN decides to fight cautiously and timidly is unforgiveable.

Usyk seems to have a good beard, but based off what AJ hit him with in fight 1 (very very little clean power shots), we cannot be sure how he holds up IF AJ manages to tag him clean as a whistle!

Gun to head: Usyk via mid-late rds KO, but I am 55-45 here. AJ via KO is so close behind!!!

What does Usyk need to do to convince you? Literally wiped out one of the best divisions in the sport then steps up to heavyweight and beats a guy who a lot were saying is the best in the division. Best fighter on the planet.

I don't think this is what folks mean. It's simple. AJ needs to be a deal better. If that gets him the win, great. But it may not, because Usyk could well live with it, up his game and get the win.

Bottom line: AJ needs to fight with a whole lot more spirit and gusto.....I have watched the fight couple times, and for me, that spirit and gusto was sorely missing

I know you'd know him alot better so I'll bow to your superior knowledge, what I meant was not convinced by him in the heavyweight division, largely on the Chisora fight.

I actually agree with Dillion Whyte & think AJ has looked too vacant this week ,there is no intensity at all about him

its all a bit like the build up to Ruiz 1 ,

I'm going for Uysk in 10/11 as long as he makes it out of the first 4 without getting caught with a big one,

I'm going to go Uysk in 11

Looking forward to this one. Can only see AJ win if he's willing to get hit in order to land, but even at that I would still be favouring Usyk.

If it turns into a boxing chess match there's only one winner. AJ needs to fight dirtier, rough him up, lean on him and use that weight advantage. Go at the body early doors and try slow him down. Not sure he has it in him, all to be revealed I suppose.

Usyk for me, much better boxer and just looks super calm and ready, AJ looked nervous but he has to really go for it. He was made a show of the last time.
