Predictions: 6 of 7 Winners, 3 Perfect, 405 Points | Tied for 13th with 3 others
Oleksandr Usyk, TKO, R11
Doubt Aleksandr can get the decision if it goes the distance. Might put a little on a draw, since it is 23 to 1. The odds on Usyk by KO was 10 to 1 earlier in the week on sportsbet. Can't say no to that.

Maxim Prodan, TKO, R8
Prodan is 6 to 1 on sportsbet. Don't think he can get a decision against Marku

Egregious New Predictions
Predictions: 5 of 6 Winners, 3 Perfect, 325 Points | Tied for 65th
I adopt Campbell Hatton at -1750. He has an incredible mountain bomb. Hatton could land the rival. I bet my life on it!
Okolie vs. Prasovic
I choose Lawrence Okolie at -3333. He has a distinctive hammerlock. Okolie won't avoid the unthinkable.
Lapin vs. Martyniuk
I am loyal to Daniel Lapin at -4000. He has a cryptic right hand. Lapin ought to bury the adversary.
Smith vs. Castillo
I can't get enough of Callum Smith at -3600. He has a sincere overhand and a woebegone double leg flapjack and also a wacky lapel choke. Smith could gargle the feat.
Prodan vs. Marku
I prefer Florian Marku at -600. He has a groundbreaking counter left. Marku is about to penetrate the senses. So say we all!
Joshua vs. Usyk
I have a crush on Anthony Joshua at -270. He has a reliable overhead chop and a luxurious double leg flapjack. Joshua could undress the unthinkable.

Obviously size is 1 of the main talking points here. Is Usyk big enough? Is Joshua too big, too powerful?? Certainly Joshua is both big and powerful. He is also a very underrated pure boxer, he has the 2nd most accurate jab, behind GGG, out of all the top level boxers( an official Compubox stat) His jab, 2 is clean, crisp and powerful. He puts hooks together well and has landed some monster uppercuts over the years, I still don't quite understand how Klitschko head stayed attached to his shoulders?!. He is a good Athlete, with decent footwork. There are cardio questions tho, not a huge issue but still it's there.
OK, so Joshua is a really good Heavyweight. So how's Usyk going to beat him? I don't really think size is a huge issue, any man over 15 stone punches hard enough to take anyone out. Usyk wins with Skill, IQ, Feints, Footwork and Pace. Honestly Usyk is a master boxer. You won't find better technique and the footwork is near the very best you'll see for his size. The Feints will be crucial I feel. Usyk puts this pressure on people without doing too much.
Another factor. He's a crazy man, an extremely intelligent crazy guy tho!
The crowd is a factor but look at Usyk history. Went to Poland took out the Polish World Champion, went to the US took out undefeated US hope Michael Hunter, went to Germany took out German World Champion Huck, went to Latvia beat, (in his closest fight) Latvian World Champion Breidis, went to Russia and schooled Russian Unified World Champion and scary monster Gassiev (also if you know anything about recent history a Ukrainian going to deepest Russia is mad!) he has also came to the UK and absolutely MELTED another World Champion Bellew! See the pattern??
Usyk loves nothing more than going to your back yard and beating your ass!!!
I think the fight will be cagey to start but over time Joshua isn't landing anything big and Usyk keeps touching, Joshua gets more anxious, more desperate, more fatigued, Usyk keeps touching, death by a 1000 cuts.
Late TKO for Usyk!!!!
Boom!!!!!!
There you go, I still think I may be wrong, its impossible to rule Joshua out. I am also, ALWAYS!, worried about god damn boxing judges!!!!! But I put my neck on the line. Let's go Usyk!!!!!

70% of Tapology picked Prodan but I'm certain none of them have seen him fight and just looked at the19-0, heavily padded record! Man fights in Italy FFS!!
Marku is an 8 to 1 favourite, closed a little tighter at 6. I don't rate Marku, but Tapology surely didn't look at the odds or who is the Matchroom home fighter here either!!!

Still, I'm not impressed much with Marku either!!! I almost but a bet on Prodan, not a pick, but an actual bet because I think the odds are way to wide for 2 fairly equally matched fighters.
Anyways, see how it goes. Marku has won the 1st couple rounds for me. He's actually using a jab which I didn't expect. He's usually more of a mauler!

Just being the home fighter, ticket seller counts in boxing unfortunately.
