    AJ looked absolutely clueless against the southpaw stance of Usyk. Could Byrd do the same to him?

    Not sure. Usyk actually came forward pressed the action at times. Byrd primarily looked to counter and if that's all he does against AJ i don't think it's enough.

    I'd take AJ here. Comfortable in how the fight plays out, but similar levels of fighter.

    Plus, even though Usyk isn't a puncher he hit hard enough so that AJ had to be careful, which in turn gave Usyk time to operate. Chris hit like a Byrd

    Yeah I'd pick AJ here, Byrd's style is too negative and he never did well against the big guys. Joshua has an awkward time of it but picks up the UD.
