[ BOXING POLL ADDED ] The Rematch - JOSHUA vs USYK II (updated thread)

[CryptoBuds]

-
I'm counting on Joshua to beat Usyk because I really wanted to see him fight with Fury for a unification title and that would be no doubt a fight of the year in the heavyweight division. If Usyk finds some way to gain victory with this upcoming fight, then that would be a great prestige for him for beating one of the best heavyweights in the world but I doubt it would be an easy task for him.

^ I'm counting on Usyk on this one. One strategy he can use I think is to play a bit passive from the start. If he can make Joshua lose his stamina and strength, he can win it in the later rounds. Usyk will get better the longer the match continues. I'm not telling that Joshua is no match for him in the later rounds, but Usyk will get a slight edge because he can retain his strength longer.

In principle, I am very surprised at the low activity in the topic - this is one of the brightest fights in recent time between great boxers, but it is rather difficult to say that this fight got many interest. Another proof that the fights with the participation of athletes who are not only good in the ring but also famous for all sorts of scandals and other hype are most interesting to the public.

Activity in the thread might start to increase a day or two before the fight takes place because the hype will be hard to miss but most eyes will be on Fury vs Wilder III, that would be the fight fans are more eager to see.

And there are a lot of upcoming boxing match as well in the lower division, specially the Canelo Alvarez vs Caleb Plant. In any case this is a must watch as well, we will finally see Joshua again, this is not by any means a slam dunk him for Joshua. He still needs to go over Usyk and maybe we can him struggle early, a Usyk will be dangerous on those early rounds.

Maybe because there is no trash talk or background story behind this fight, the activity is so low? Boxing fans wont miss that fight and will discuss if definitely, but regular sports or contact sports fan will probably watch "modern" UFC this weekend.

Or, maybe this is due to Usyk. All respect to him, but he is more known as a cruiserweight. While people are more interested in heavyweights all the time. For a bigger part of boxing audience, Usyk is completely new, even though he has won everything possible in cruiserweight.

Just to refresh action here - Joshua has 25 fights in professional career, but he has faced only one or two southpaw boxers. That could impact on the result of this fight.

Anyone knows Vasiliy Lomachenko? His father Anatoly Lomachenko prepares Usyk for this fight and will be in his corner.

Someone can logically explain why Usyk's managers on the day of the battle are diverted to such trifles as "launching the NFT collection in conjunction with Binance"? Isn't the hype enough for them? And in general, I confess I am against that such a hardcore fighter like Usyk, poke his nose into not his sphere, since it will not lead to anything good. And if someone really wants to train with Usik, then why the hell do you have to pay $ 100,000 if the address of the gym in which he trains is known to everyone ... I was a little upset by this news.

They want to try and squeeze any money they can out of the hype for this fight, I mean NFTs are a hot item right now so why wouldn't they get their hands on that one too knowing that it's going to make them lots of money?

The usual information noise that is created by managers, they have such a job, and Usyk himself may not have heard anything about it. The promotion goes in all areas where possible and it is reasonable - the younger generation is more interested in UFC than boxing, so the fact that boxers advertise themselves everywhere is a rational move.

The fight is taking place tomorrow yet there is such little hype about it in the media in the UK. Something is not right about that.

After a lot of doom and gloom of the past couple of years, many boxing fans are looking forward to the Joshua vs Usyk fight and also the Fury vs Wilder III fight but the lack of hype and publicity surround the fight tomorrow was not expected. Maybe if Joshua was fighting a bigger than Usyk name then there would be hype and noise in the media but the lack of presence in the media in general has let boxing fans down.

Everything is right about the fight it is only that Anthony Joshua is the bigger name in the fight and the little publicity the fight has got is because of Joshua and not Usyk. If not so the whole thing would have been without media coverage at all. Alot of people may not know that the fight is less than 24hours from now and will only get to know after the fight is done. I want AJ to come top.

I would say that Usyk is good, might have a fighting chance against Joshua. But I believed that he is not on the same level with Anthony. He is a cruiserweight for me, and facing a top tier heavyweight, it will be very difficult for him. And probably Usyk doesn't have that much fan based outside that's why there's not much hype, hopefully, Joshua win and then wait for the winner of Fury vs Wilder. Now that's what fighting fans are waiting for.

These are more likely not boxing fans, but fans of hype scandals, etc. It's hard to expect trashtalk, dirt, or inadequate conspiracy theories (as in the case of Wilder) from these adequate boxers, so despite the fact that this will be a great fight between two great boxers, the public is cool with him. The public is more likely to expect some antics from Connor than to be interested in real boxing. Real boxing fans are looking forward to this fight.
By the way, I must say that I am glad that the place of the battle is in Europe and I can watch the battle at an appropriate time for myself

Money. There's no better time for them to promote something when they've got the boxing world's eyeballs on them. There seems to be a shit tonne of money in NFTs right now as well so it's a lot of money for doing nothing than mentioning it whenever they can.

It's in the shadow of Fury Wilder III for sure. I'll eagerly be watching both but I'm more excited about the trilogy fight. It's gonna be a bit messy if either of Fury or AJ loses though.

[South Park]

I'd bet on Joshua. It not going to be an easy win because Usyk has his way of drawing strength as the fight persist. I know Usyk is one of the best, if he manages to beat Joshua even if he doesn't go on to beat Fury, I'll duff my hat to him.

I'm counting on Joshua to beat Usyk because I really wanted to see him fight with Fury for a unification title and that would be no doubt a fight of the year in the heavyweight division. If Usyk finds some way to gain victory with this upcoming fight, then that would be a great prestige for him for beating one of the best heavyweights in the world but I doubt it would be an easy task for him.

If Usyk is able to beat Joshua this is probably going to be a great surprise for many, it is not going to be as bad as what it happened with Andy Ruiz but still it could be a huge upset, especially if we take into account that this is going to be the first fight of Usyk in the division and if he can beat Joshua then at least in my mind that is going to make him one of the best fighters on all the divisions around the world, I really think that he's taking on Joshua too soon but he's confident that he can take him down, and we are about to find out if he was right about it.

Usyk wants to make a good impression heading to the fight

Usyk arrived dressed in an outfit equal to the one used by the actor Joaquin phoenix to bring the villain of Batman, on the tape the Joker which premiered in 2019

he is employing psychological tactics here and action is better than words, Usyk is very good at this he has a lot of humor and because of this has gained a lot of followers, I also like him for his humility and humor but unfortunately, I like Joshua to win the fight so he can fight Fury for the unification and the title of the greatest British boxing champion.

[Dave1]

^ Lol, his trying to beat Fury as the boxing's well dressed during a press conference, face-off. In any case, I don't think it will work on Joshua, he will well experience to be affected by this kind of psychological war in his fight.

So let's see how the fight goes, I'm seeing Joshua winning by TKO in 10 rounds or less. I'm not expecting the fight to go full distance.

Joshua had originally planned to fight Fury for a unification fight that would have put the entire belt at stake, but that had to be postponed as Fury still had a rematch with Deontay Wilder. and it looks like Joshua is very physically and mentally ready to fight Oleksandr Usky tomorrow morning in my country time.
and Yes, Usky's humility and lots of humor have hypnotized many people who made his followers grow, which Usky unexpectedly has a very scary face but has a good soul and is also humorous.
and I also predict Anthony Joshua will win against Usky tomorrow.

I'm also confident in my prediction that Joshua will win this match he is so motivated to win this match for Fury, I read in one article that badly needs to fight Fury for his legacy and it can only happen if he beats Usyk, by knock out so he can leave a deep impression on Fury who is going against Wilder. May the best fighter wins.
