Yea I could see a 115-113 for Usyk but I don’t see how you could find 7 rounds for AJ. 116-112 is about right. 
Usyk is just a better fighter than AJ. AJ can hurt people but since Klitschko he hasn’t been willing to trade shots. He did more of that today but Usyk makes you pay for scraping. 
Would love to see Usyk v Fury. I would worry about Fury punching through the guard of Usyk but I could see Usyk having the athleticism to work a lot of body and be Fury’s biggest challenge

Fury would school him so easily. 

Height 6'-3" Reach 78" 

vs.

Height 6'-9" Reach 85"

Advantage in stamina, power, age, experience, skill and banter.

I tend to agree that Fury would win but Usyk is absolutely more fit and has more skill. 
The interesting part of the Fury Usyk fight will be seeing if Usyk can evade the power punches and cause damage to Fury by working the body. The size makes that very difficult but Usyk is an elite elite elite boxer.

yeah i think fury is just too big for usyk and would/will eventually catch him with something that puts him down, but usyk is incredibly skilled and it should be a fun and entertaining fight.

who the fuck is paying $74.99 for andy ruiz vs luis ortiz??  i like the fight because i think it will be entertaining, but jesus fuck that is ridiculously overpriced.  it shouldn't be ppv at all, but if they insist on ppv can they not charge like $29.99?

not a lot of hype for the third ggg/canelo fight taking place this weekend.  i'm still excited for it, even though it's not the big deal it was back when they fought for the first time.  over them summer i rewatched both fights and scored them both 7-5 in favor of GGG.  for his sake, i hope he can pull out a victory on saturday so he has at least one win over canelo on his resume, but i am dubious about his chances to get that done.

Well, canelo, your plan worked. Keep dodging fights for a fucking decade until your opponent is just too old to beat you.  This trilogy should have been 2015-17. But canelo knew he couldn't hang.

Sad to see how old ggg has gotten in the last few years.

yeah that was disappointing.  the first two fights were so good (even though they were scored incorrectly).  but yeah this trilogy should have taken place in like 2014-2017.  

i stand by my claim that right now canelo is unbeatable at 168 and below.  i don' think he can beat bivol at 175 though.  and beterbiev would destroy him.

Yep. 168 and below and he's untouchable. He and his people have done a masterclass at handling his career. Mayweather esque in that regard.

Definitely a huge let down, and both sides are pointing the finger. They failed boxing and nobody should buy that bullshit fight. Just like Fury fighting that other British Bum for a 3rd time. They wouldn't do these brazen cash grabs if people would stop supporting it.

masterclass by bivol.  i understand taking the canelo rematch for the money, but i'm not exactly sure why canelo would want it.  he has very little shot of beating bivol.  bivol/beterbiev is one of the bigger fights in boxing (which means we'll probably never see it).
