@818to510 what an odd comment.

Queens worth 9 pawns, rooks worth 5, knights and bishops worth three pawns etc..

It was pretty obvious with the d4 opening he's going to know what he's doing (queens pawn opening) It's not by chance that someone plays d4. E4 is also a sign that they might have an inkling of chess knowledge. king pawn opening (play for the centre and hoping for an open dynamic attacking game)
Just a casual chat in the park, where’s the talk about the actual fight! Common guys I’m really looking forward to this fight I wanna see more interviews from the fighters.
AJ must be ranked less than 1000 in chess, when you ask your opponent "where did you move" 5 seconds later then my advice is to play someone of the same level, chess and boxing are all about levels
He will probably be about 850-900 maybe.. most average people will start around 600-700 at a guess. Strong club players you're looking at 1600-1950 maybe even upto 2000. Tournament players 2000+ if its a decent level tournament. National Masters 2100+ IM 2400+ GM's 2600 >
Basic opening principles violated, don't bring the queen out early, don't move the same piece more than once. Develop into the center of the board. Don't block in your own pieces. Castle early, avoid creating pawn weaknesses. Pretty much violated all of those!
AJ looks slim in the face man..deffo shredded the weight...be interesting to see the speed of him in this fight. Good look to both fighters,may the best man win!!...big respect to AJ and Usyk.
