Huge respect for Usyk from the UK, and I reckon 99% of our fans would agree. Can't wait for this fight. Usyk is the only dude I'd be happy to see go through the HW division. May the best man win. 👍
Both AJ and Usyk are great for the sport of boxing. So much class exhibited in the lead up. I imagine the other heavyweight championship bout will be quite the opposite.
Nobody's interested in that "other" fight. Its a joke its even happening. But let's hope AJ makes it through this then we can finally drag him into the ring
@@pmn2460 lol no one cares bout this fight either, didn’t even know it was this weekend until the TH-cam feed lol, Let’s hope they both get in the ring together next year!
@Mystic Editor Those guys who go around calling everyone casual, and trying to deter other fans from boxing, aren't real boxing fans either. This fight should be absolutely huge! In my opinion, its a far more competitive and high echelon fight than Joshua vs Fury.. And yet, the build up has been almost non existent. I think that's what the guy above was getting at.
Not the same AJ ,he has matured in the last 2years. Different . No nonsense but still a gentleman. He has really grown Into the ' ambassador ' for heavy weight boxing... I really like this guy. Cool dude.
He is boring, comes out with cringe quotes all the time and in this presser was talking about puppies, children, king kong and said Usyk was right handed. He is a plank
Don't see why AJ gets so much hate, look at what he has done and his mindset, I've nothing but respect for him and he deserves respect from everyone. He is great for boxing and sport. He could have dodged so many dangerous opponents, apparently he could have dodged Usyk too but I'm not sure how, but anyway he didn't. He plans to fight whoever wins Wilder vs Fury 3 to go for the undisputed, and he's such a nice guy that even if he lost, he'd be happy that there's an undisputed HW champion for the first time in many years. Respect him. Stop the hate.
Boxing fans today are like football fans tho, because they are a fan of another boxer, they hate on him and think he no good. I don’t get the “ I like this boxer and no one else” I like loads of boxers , and if he a prick in person I’d still respect if he a good fighter.
@@JohnSmith-bu3fw Not Ajs problem. He still got in the ring with him, no avoiding like other fighters. You can't begin t o compare Fury or Wilders resumes
@@JohnSmith-bu3fw and how many times has fury defended a belt? Scratch and it was 18 months and he tested positive for steroids aj resume is far superior to fury
I’m glad all these internet typers have pressured AJ into showing more of his true personality, because I just like him even more now. I understand that all ‘famous’ people need to have a media personality but for AJ he’s just even more like able than he already was, even if it’s just a partial amount of his true personality.
We ain't got a clue what these people in the public are really like ....every word they utter & every move they make has been carefully crafted & created ..! Eddie Hearns hands him a script to sing along to every morning...take the celebrity Rolf Harris for instance .his image was that if the caring jovial entertainer when in reality he was something very different wasn't he .! It's all show business folks..!
@@johnaldred6864 Facts, but this seemed a little more natural if you get what I mean. I wouldn’t say AJ is fake but his team and Eddie filters him out but this one here seemed a little more natural than his usual interviews.
Usyk can replicate Ruiz inside trades. If Usyk can kill Joshua by targetting his temple. Usyk is lengthier than Andy it is going to be a long night for AJ
@@yawnnlawnn7067 he can't replicate ruiz his height is different aj will find it easier him being 6'3it will be easier too land punches for aj due too not having too punch downwards
@@yawnnlawnn7067 Wow Usyk cannot replicate Ruiz inside and even if he could he wouldnt, joshuas greatest abilty is on the inside with power combinations.. Usyk will do all he can to keep distance until he is forced to fight on the inside.
When Joshua says, "Good luck to him" I hear . . . "I hope Usyk does a few good things to look good but doesn't get too hurt when I knock him spark out." We will see if that kind of mindset doesn't get HIM knocked out. We know it wouldn't be a one punch knockout, but man, that constant pressure from Usyk takes its toll. Even a mighty oak will fall to a steak knife eventually.
don’t underestimate this man, we’re all now saying the exact same thing we said after ruiz… not an aj fanboy and not saying he won’t lose again, but don’t count him out yet
Honestly I’m glad he’s nervous, I think AJ is at his best when he’s nervous, the only time he lost is when he want nervous and underestimated the guy he was fighting. AJ does well when he knows it’s a dangerous fights.
@@MC-yq6us He was well nervous before the ruiz fight and had a panic attack. Didn't work out for him that night. A little bit if nerves is good but too much can just fatigue you quickly.
@@smokemeakipper1076 didn’t seem nervous when he knocked Ruiz Down and almost had him out. People overcomplicate why AJ lost that fight, he lost because he rushed a guy who still had fight in him and got clipped coming in. Has happened numerous times in the heavyweight division, nothing special. If he didn’t make that mistake he would of win that fight. Everything else is just hearsay until we get confirmation.
Heavyweight fight of the year!!! It’s going to be a belter!!! Still think AJ takes it. Usyk has incredible technique, dazzling footwork and fight experience. But AJ has size, more power and has grown leaps and bounds in his technique. Another advantage AJ has is that loss to Ruiz. That was extremely important. He learned never to underestimate anyone ever again
Man I am looking forward to this fight. Both brilliant boxers - both have fantastic careers. 9 times out of 10 the good big guy beats the good little guys. Can Usyk carry his quality with the proper big dogs? Soon find out. 🇺🇦 🇬🇧 ❤️🥊
AJ playing games and usyk falling for it. Aj is presenting a cool, less serious mood so usyk can fall for it thinking AJ will easy fight. AJ is luring usyk to be confident enough and engage early. Then BOOM! gudnite for usyk!
It's such a shame we live in an era where we have two dominant and charismatic heavyweights from Britain and because of fight politics we have to pick a side. I hope both AJ and Fury come through their respective fights and all the belts stay in the UK.
We need Fury to actually come home again when he wins. Hopefully he will have fulfilled his obligations to the American promoters and will come back home to defend and unify.
Maybe almost has good , your talking about usyk the great cruiserweight , nothing done in heavyweight division yet , he looked so bad against chisora , we watched the fight in our boxing gym , if that version turns up against AJ ,then your gonna see a brutal knockout
Thank Eddie Hearn for that. Despite being a half decent promoter he has made a mess of boxing in the UK. Now not only do you choose AJ or Fury, you choose BT, Sky, Box Nation, Premier Sports, Dazn, and Eddie's other platforms. He has made boxing a little toxic and binary for me. And what after AJ??. All Eddie has done the last 5 years in focus on AJ to the detriment of other UK and Irish fighters. Milk the cash cow AJ. Then wait for the next cash cow. Had high hopes for Eddie Hearn. Just a spiv, not a patch on his old man
@@delroygardner8325 But Usyk underperformed in that fight on purpose. My man was playing 4D chess. Time was his dimension. He fooled AJ and took him to school.
AJ already practicing to be the ambassador of uk sport. Smash mode Josh, no more Mr Nice Guy will please the fans… play that Alice Cooper tune as your entry song.
Both guys are just in a different level. Aj as not fought anyone like usyk and usyk as not fought anyone with the class of aj. but am with my man Anthony Joshua for the win
There comes a point in a good fight where it becomes personal. Then its no longer just a sport, just having a good time and learning...if it comes to that moment i hope his mind will be able to switch...
If AJ can close the ring off and stay tight, he's in. He cannot be gun shy. Usyk will be on his bike, he can potentially take AJ on a wild goose chase with his feints, particularly with the feet, if he can catch AJ in the early rounds with anything significant, he'll have established the threat of a trap that will dictate the entire fight. That will be bad news for Joshua, but can Usyk catch AJ hard enough to create that threat? I'm sceptical. AJ's backfoot boxing is underrated IMO, he steps awkward pyramids, his fundamentals are of a decent amateur pedigree, he is well schooled. Usyk is obviously decent, although I'll keep my thoughts to myself on the cruiserweight division. I think his name gets thrown in with Loma due to the connection, but for me, Usyk is far from unsolveable. I think this is gonna be a fight based on timing, I don't mean cadence within combinations, more in the sense of 'fight when your opponent is resting and resting when your opponent is fighting'. I believe both will gas if the fight goes to around the midway point. For me, Usyk loses that battle. I'm gonna hang my nuts out there, Usyk is not genuine heavyweight stock, he's having a pop at the big prize in the twilight of his career and props to him. AJ stops him, ninth round.
Really intelligent pre fight summary. Most knowledgeable comment I’ve read on this fight. I definitely agree that Usyk is not unsolvable. He gets hit a lot more than people think.
Joshua has already said ' if I lose ' and ' I'm fighting myself ', I know no one likes it but I see a full distance fight with some explosive action and maybe a draw ?
usyk with speed may win most early rounds but aj's heavier punches will slow him (particularly if he lands to the body) so aj will win more later rds - aj by close decision
