Bobfoc Posted September 25, 2021 Report Share Posted September 25, 2021 Usyk is an excellent technical boxer who cleaned up at cruiserweight. If he can avoid Joshua's biggest shots, I think he should win tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted September 25, 2021 Report Share Posted September 25, 2021 Joshua isn't the best boxer, but he's huge and fast, this is a big test for Usyk in my opinion. Still, after the Ruiz fights, I just don't know with AJ. Also Jesus Christ, that Callum Smith KO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobfoc Posted September 25, 2021 Report Share Posted September 25, 2021 Joshua is a very good technical boxer as well. He couldn't have had the amateur career he did if he wasn't. Usyk is widely regarded as one of the top pound-for-pound fighters in the world, though. Besides Briedis, nobody's really come close to beating him. I actually think Usyk might be even more of a problem for Fury, whose major strength is being awkward and counter-punching. With Usyk's rangy jab and speed, I think he could out-Fury Fury.

Bobfoc Posted September 25, 2021 Report Share Posted September 25, 2021 Usyk sounds as though he's dominating. Joshua hasn't used his size advantage at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidMarrio Posted September 25, 2021 Report Share Posted September 25, 2021 Usyk putting himself in a strong position to win on points and it's going to end up being a case of Joshua having to win by knockout if it keeps on like it has been. Usyk is boxing very smartly getting in and out. Joshua needs to let his hands go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2K Posted September 25, 2021 Report Share Posted September 25, 2021 Barring a shitty decision AJ is done here. Congratulations to boxing for screwing itself out of its biggest fight due to the ridiculous structure of the sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobfoc Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 It was negotiated into the contract, just as it was for the Ruiz fight. This is a much tougher prospect for AJ, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kraig Posted October 11, 2021 Report Share Posted October 11, 2021 I think Fury/Wilder III might be my favourite modern boxing match. Fury's conditioning is baffling. Could do without all the Jesus stuff with every single interview, especially from a guy who loves Sin City. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fury and Wilder are both pieces of shit, so I could do without either TBH, but that is one of the best heavyweight fights Ive seen. Had all of the stakes. These guys were both 6’7 and 6’9, these are not small heavyweights. Damn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted February 26, 2022 Report Share Posted February 26, 2022 An absolute robbery in Glasgow by the judges tonight - Josh Taylor comprehensively outboxed and outfought by Jack Catterall and the judges scored it for Taylor on split decision. Awful, awful stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobfoc Posted February 27, 2022 Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 Taylor reckons he'll probably move up to welterweight now, but Catterall deserves a rematch. At the very least, this has raised Catterall's profile considerably, which will hopefully get him some bigger paydays going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
