Shot of the Day

WBA, IBF, WBO heavyweight champion Oleksander Usyk and former champion Anthony Joshua faced off for 83 intense seconds and it would have gone on longer if promoter Eddie Hearn didn’t intervene. Today’s press conference in London will be the last time they meet until fight week for their August 20 rematch in Saudi Arabia.

This stupid stuff they make them do is like the staring contests we had when we were little kids. Whoever laughs or blinks first loses. Me, I wouldn’t even play their game, I’d just look away or look down or make funny faces and try to make the other guy laugh – like Usyk himself used to do! – he didn’t do it this time? – something like that.

They should not do the face off so often, maybe rather just at the weigh in.
Usyk has hardly any joking this time, he’s in a very different frame of mind.

In all fairness, Joshua, like any fighter, can improve on his/her game from a tragic loss. However, I really can’t see Joshua pulling this off as Usyk’s style of fighting is very difficult to defeat especially when Joshua has not faced anybody like Usyk. Usyk has surprised me as he makes his mark in the heavyweight division. Usyk is doing well and is adapting to fighting bigger men in this division. I do feel Usyk has Joshua’s number and Joshua will struggle even more in this rematch. Usyk on a UD.

I’m sorry, but is anyone else thinking to themselves, “Usyk’s going to beat him again,” “It’s in Saudi Arabia, so who really cares?,” “Fury’s the real champion, the belts be damned,” and taking generally a dismissive attitude toward this fight, or is it just me?

It’s just you. Just kidding, understand your point. If Hearn did not have his usual rematch clauses, we possibly could have seen Usyk vs Fury for the undisputed.

Joshua is damaged goods after getting his glass chin shattered by Ruiz. Usyk not even a real HW will school him again.

I will not be surprised if Usyk TKO him this time !

This isn’t an exciting fight to begin with in the first place. This is what happens when greedy promoters wait too long to set up a Super Fight a Deontay Wilder Vs Anthony Joshua or Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury. The first Joshua fight with Usyk was decent at best and the one who made it decent was Usyk. AJ may or may not win this fight but if he does he needs to cash in ASAP and fight Tyson Fury then call it a career…

AJ will quit again he’s just hanging around for $$$$. Olympic boxing is a little different than professional boxing. RGBA should of stayed in Oxnard.

Usyk by decision or Joshua by late TKO if Robert Garcia teaches him how to pressure such a great fighter without taking too much counter punches..
Loading...
Interesting fight, Garcia may bring out a new AJ as his set-up and camp seemed too complacent. However Usyk is skilled boxer and may just counter a more offensive AJ to a standstill. It could go either way.

Usyk needs to get past the first couple of rounds where size, reach, power are more dangerous. Needs to get to the later rounds, like the first fight if he wants to win again.

I’m just glad Usyk is back to boxing again & not risking his life for the corrupt scumbag Zelensky, who demands a $billion dollars from the West every 5 minutes while parading around in the same old nasty undershirt. Hopefully Loma will also get back to boxing & not die for the CIA-installed comedian in a t-shirt.

ANd nothing you mention of Russia destroying buildings, towns, complete cities and no damage to their own country or civilian happening? And Zelensky must not do anything to stop this brutal invasion?
