Really interested in tonights fight. I do think AJ is more likely to win, Usyks main chance of winning would be on points but hes started a lot of his heavyweight fights slow and if he goes a couple of rounds down on the cards early hes going to struggle to get a decision even if he boxes well.

Usyk has some odd loses as an amateur earlier in his career. Shawn Porter and Korobov beat him which is odd considering the weight differences between them now.

I don't know why Hearn keeps putting Rickys son on so high in bills. Hes two fights before AJ tonight fighting a journeyman. He should be fighting first on the card, he needs another 10 journeyman fights and they're so dull to watch. Its hardly going to generate a fanbase.

Started extremely slow in the last two. Needs to be quicker this time, if he starts the way he did v Chisora it could be over within 3. Although he's a great counter-puncher, could be his game plan for this one again.

The one thing that I would note is he was happy to give away the rounds as he knew he'd find them out eventually. With AJ his tactics might be a bit different. I really hate Usyks wins at cruiserweight hes a phenomenal fighter.

Usyk moves so well that he'll be hard to hit clean. Its a great fight between two brilliant boxers.
