Usyk will ko aj this time and ajs career will be over.

 

[lemonkettaz]

Usyk round 3 or 9 for me. Either early shock or late stoppage when AJ runs out of steam.

I'll be amazed if AJ wins, a shame for the whole Fury AJ British hype bonanza, but typical business greed got in the way when it was at its biggest.

 

[XeNoN89]

I think AJ has the physical attributes to win, but he won't approach the fight in the way he needs to do it.

 

[Screeeech]

Will this be the first time AJ has boxed without Mccracken?

 

[Vertigo]

So, the $64k question… Is this fight worth forking out to watch do we think?

What's the likely time of the main event?

First bell will be around 11pm. Gotta get those last minute ppv buys in.

Usyk let AJ off the hook in the last fight and showed him mercy. Usyk by KO

 

[koolpc]

AJ to win...

 

[mattyg]

Im thinking AJ... He had a gameplan for the Ruiz rematch and stuck to it.. Showed a new level of maturity..

Plus I want to see Fury slap him sideways to be honest.
Wasn't a Fury fan until recently.

Fury will school him!!

Usyk let AJ off the hook in the last fight and showed him mercy. Usyk by KO

I would agree to a certain degree. If AJ decides he is no longer scared to get hit and hurt then AJ will probably win rounds 5-7.

I fear he will be scared to get hit and as you say get KO'd somewhere between rounds 7-9

 

[Doobedoo]

I’m still not sure how people think Usyk let AJ off the hook last time.

 

[Psycho Ned]

The Ruiz loss took something away from AJ, he used to have no fear but since then he fights in survival mode.

Don’t see a different result on Saturday unless he throws caution to the wind a lot more. If it makes the final bell he’s almost certainly lost.

 

[Jimbeam3678]

I’m still not sure how people think Usyk let AJ off the hook last time.

I think he admitted his corner told him to deviate from the game plan which was not to go looking for the finish even when in rounds 11 & 12 AJ was clearly ready to be taken out.

Hope I am wrong with my prediction as I am a big fan of AJ.

How on earth do you watch sky sports box office on a TV these days? The website says through a Now TV stick but they stopped making them. Don't really want to use a laptop.

I've got a modern LG TV, would the built in web browser work?

His corner said to not go looking for the knockout, in other words don’t force it and it will come or won’t come. People took that to literally mean don’t knock him out. What fighter wouldn’t knock someone out if they knew they could? Did he show mercy to bellew? No he knock him out.

AJ 23 pound heavier than Usyk

AJ 23 pound heavier than Usyk

He still gases faster than a bottle of Coke with mentos dropped in

 

[_Jimlad_]
