Excellent decision bart. I tried to get both this fight and the GGG/Canelo fight in one month but couldn't. So it'll be $30 all up. Better than what they would have charged on SKY.
Usyk has really bulked up. Hope it doesn't cost him speed and movement, which he'll need vs AJ.

I thought Usyk would be a lot bigger. Maybe he added muscle while keeping the same weight?

Aj is light... worried about stamina?

Heaps of cardio? Do you know how much each one weighed last fight?
RE: AJ/Usyk Sunday. DAZN - bart - 08-20-2022
They said he was slightly lighter than last time

Hrgovic, Smith earn title shots in eliminators
In an IBF heavyweight eliminator, Filip Hrgovic (15-0, 12 KOs) won a twelve round unanimous decision over previously undefeated Zhilei Zhang (24-1-1, 19 KOs) in the Usyk-Joshua co-feature on Saturday night at the King Abdullah Sports City Arena in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Zhang dropped Hrgovic in round one then it became a war of attrition with both fighters being rocked. In the end, scores were 115-112, 115-112, 114-113. Hrgovic is now in line to face the Usyk-Joshua winner.
In a WBC light heavyweight eliminator, WBC #1 Callum “Mundo” Smith (29-1, 21 KOs) scored a fourth round KO against WBC #2 Mathieu Bauderlique (21-2, 12 KOs). Smith dropped Bauderlique twice in round four to end it. Time was 1:53. Smith is now in line to face champion Artur Beterbiev.

Close fight, but I had Zhang winning that fight. In Beijing, he would have won.
RE: AJ/Usyk Sunday. DAZN - bart - 08-21-2022
I had Zhang as well, Hygovics best combos hit Zhangs gloves- he just looked gassed. What surprised me was the great inside fighting of Zhang.
JP beats Hygovic, that was a dodgy decision the worst Zhang should have got was a draw.
Yes a World title in Bejing would have made Eddie more $$, Hygovic is a promoters nightmare
