I don't think he'd be alone in 80s/90s fighters tbh.

Couldn’t get a license elsewhere so they changed the venue
Ref knew that he shouldn’t be fighting and stopped it while it was classified as an exhibition so not an official bout
That fight was everything that is wrong with the sport

Predictions for this fight? It's next week right? Can't really believe it's happening.

I dunno.
If it goes to points then unless its total domination Usyk is in trouble so he has to get the KO win and this is the man who could not knock out Chisora ffs.
Joshua probably wins by KO late on if I had to bet.

Fighters cost between 10-15 million depending on sources and Trump's obviously not free.
SAD!

I'm not sure if the Chisora comparison is fair. Chisora has a solid chin and also is very accustomed/experienced to being in trouble late in fights and knows how to push through. Joshua tends to gas when he's in trouble.
I would take Joshua early KO or win on points.
If there's a late KO I would imagine Usyk getting a TKO due to volume of punches and Joshua gassing when in trouble.

Joshua by robbery. Or maybe he just starches him after looking dodgy early, sort of like the Povetkin fight

Just rewatched the Usyk-Bellew fight.
Unbelievable that the sky sports highlights package/wanker UK commentators were able to convince the public that this was a competitive fight. Bellew landed a couple of counter rights in between getting pressured for the entire fight. He did not win a single round IMO. Usyk a pressure fighter who was controlling the fight right from round one. Bellew was staying afloat, occasionally playing to the crowd but barely landed a punch other than the odd counter right.
AJ will be a much more difficult proposition due to his length.
"The Usyk jab nonexistent tonight" JFC that stupid UK commentator is a complete moron I really don't know how you brits put up with that ****.

Evander's return was a financial dud a few weeks ago so no clue who on earth would buy this, but it shouldn't be happening nonetheless.
Very sad that Bowe is doing this, must have serious bills to pay.

Bowe's lawyers used his brain damage as mitigation for him beating his wife and/or kids in a court case that was long before Lewis retired, and that must be a decade and a half ago now.
These "exhibitions" that are suddenly mushrooming everywhere are literally travesties of real boxing and someone is going to get killed.

That's exactly as I remember it too, but it wasn't just the commentators, the judges also had Bellew ahead. One had it a draw, one had it 4-3 Bellew and one had it 5-2 Bellew (!?!).

I've thought about this fight some more.
Usyk is gonna stop AJ late in the fight.
BoyBrumby

It's never quite so simple as this, but a good big 'un generally beats a good little 'un.
I guess Usyk is gonna be giving away the best part of 3 stone to Joshua and a fair few inches in reach too.
If AJ fights sensibly behind his jab I think it's him on points unless he gets careless and Usyk tags him.

Usyk is not just a good little 'un though. He's quite arguably the best cruiserweight of all time, becoming undisputed in a very short amount of time in a relatively stacked division. He's already a hall-of-fame fighter.
He's a great little 'un, and not all that little tbh at 6'3. I don't think AJ has ever or will ever fight anyone like him.

Hatton Jr doesn’t belong in a boxing ring, and doesn’t look like he wants to be.
Joshua outclassed from Round One.
