Banger of a fight, but looks poor on Taylor's part that he is not going to give Caterall a rematch.
Also said making 140 wasn't feasible but doesn't seem to be moving up .

Don’t know what to think about Benavidez
Huge at SMW, very talented but Lemieux is finished
Also watched replay of Ibeabuchi Tua
Ike was a monster who would have destroyed Joshua and Wilder
Literally walked through Tua’s best shots and hit him with 5 in return

Yeah i don't know what to make of Benevidez either. Sometimes he looks really open defensively.
Ike was a beast but was 100% juiced out of his mind

Relatively few Australians had heard of Kambosos before his last fight
Boxing is a niche sport here + he fought mainly overseas
I am sure that they will get a big crowd but the hype would be much greater for Tim Tszyu because the casuals know his name

This is a crazy analysis
Joshua is bigger but Usyk is not a small guy and he’s way more skilled

It’s heavyweights so one punch can change a fight but I am backing Usyk

Right.
It's not simply a case of bumrushing the guy. If he tries that, Usyk will just time him and knock him dafuq out. I actually thought AJ fought extremely well and with a very good game plan in the first fight. He tried to take center ring and use straight punches. He wasn't trying to box with Usyk, he was trying to time Usyk on the way in. It's just that Usyk's head movement and footwork is something that no one has seen since prime Tyson (obviously very different fighters but still).
Joshua will need to use lots of Wlad style clinching and leaning on Usyk to tire him out, but if you look in the first fight Usyk actually threw AJ off him when he tried that. Usyk is deceptively strong.

100%. AJ looked as sharp and disciplined as I've ever seen him in that Usyk fight and actually looked pretty decent up against a master boxer. The narrative around what happened in that fight is ridiculous.

A dull fight sadly, jab masterclass from Haney.

Think this was a bad style for him. Kambosos has done things the hard way and definitely deserved to be champion. He's good, and there are plenty of other good fights out there for him. Teofimo rematch would be good, Lomachenko when he returns, Ryan Garcia, Tank Davis etc etc. It's a hot division and he's a proven top 10 guy.
I would like to see Haney vs Teofimo.
