BREAKING NEWS!!! Anthony Joshua CHOOSES Coach RONNIE SHIELDS!!!

I don't have a problem with Shields. He is very good technically and might be able to get AJ from fighting so stiff.

AJ moving to H-town???, i like Ronnie, fan of the Charlos, I dont think he'll fit in too well, as far as training with Ronnie he can guide him decent but idk about beating Usyk, Don't get lost in the sauce out here in Houston AJ

Wilder fans telling a greater and better boxer to fall back when they wanted their limited hero who's a bum to take an immediate rematch. :lol1: You can't make this shiiiiit up. :lol1: I see you still responding like a 12 year old. You know damn well I ain't want him to take no immediate rematch after getting outclassed two times. And what does this have to him anyways .. The topic is your man crush

when he loses again he can go out on his shield

Shields is a basic trainer who just teaches fundementals,he would have been better off with ishmeal salas

I remember Shields when was training outta Savannahs back when I used to go there before he moved to Plex. So I have always liked Shields for what he has contributed for the Houston area boxing scene even though I never worked with him. That said I don't see Ronnie and Joshua being a good fit for what Joshua needs. Joshua has good fundamentals and knows boxing 101. What he needs is to learn how to fight and come up with stuff on the drop of a dime when his boxing is not working. I just don't see Shields being able to bring that out of him because Joshua won't have that competition in the gym like he would at other gyms that have legitimate contenders and prospects in the heavyweight division.

Personally I would of rather Buddy Mcgirt. Ronnie is to soft spoken and AJ needs fire in his corner because he can’t create it his self. AJ is a manufactured killer he’s not a natural so he need somebody that can inspire

Bad time to Switch coaches imo. He doesn't have enough time to be effective doing anything he learned. Plus will it matter if his biggest weakness is his heart? He needs to fall back and take a tune up

Wont make a difference. He is no Fury that can just pick up new styles and techniques on the fly. Would take years to teach the bodybuilder new tricks. Once Usyk clips him the first time he will start having a mental meltdown.

This is one of the reasons I like Joshua so much. He accepts when he has lost, accepts how he has lost and gets straight down to work on trying to improve himself, he's cut down on weight before. He has a real strong and lengthy relationship with McCracken but as soon as he realised he needed a change he is looking to cut the cord. None of his obsessions since Ruiz I, have made him a better fighter 'The wins have covered up that regression'. It was only when Usyk beat Joshua did people start realizing in mass, what some boxing experts and supporters have been saying for a very long time. I think he could of still beaten Usyk under McCracken. It is Joshua himself who decided to change his training philosophy and lifestyle after Ruiz I 'McCracken probably just went along with it'. I have no idea what Ronnie Sheild's training style is like? All I know is that he was with Mike Tyson for awhile. But yes, Joshua is dedicated to learning. It is one of his strengths, his yearning for knowledge. Note: Many former fighters and boxing analyst have all told Joshua how to beat Usyk. Joshua just needs to be himself and embrace his fundamental strengths. Combinations, aggressiveness and physical strength 'Those are the attributes that won him Olympic Gold Medal, and most of his fights prior to Ruiz I'. If Joshua continues to go down the being all technical and obsessive route, he will just make this rematch more difficult than it should be. If Anthony Joshua behaves how he should in the rematch, he will stop Usyk inside 10 rounds.

I don't think he has officially chosen Shields? I saw some bit on Shields yesterday where he talked about Joshua wanting to test it out to see what fits best for him. ​​​​​​

AJ can win a rematch, Coach Shields is good at his craft no doubt. If joshua moves to Houston-Sugarland area he will hate the heat, hopefully he can get in and get out before the spring time. As others mentioned, Abel Sanchez would be a good coach for AJ. How about someone like teddy atlas, he can probably make AJ a fireman.

With Usyk's soft and terrible skin - who says he won't have to weather terrible cuts before mid rds that would lead to a stoppage? Fair comment. I don't rule anything out in the rematch, if Joshua does what he's got to do - win lose or draw it's gonna be one hell of a night

You and Robbie claimed that AJ vs Usyk was a mismatch lol, I'll always have a million times more credibility than you clowns. https://i.imgur.com/sTaizxc.png https://www.boxingscene.com/forums/boxing-forums/non-stop-boxing/662935-official-tyson-fury-vs-wladimir-klitschko-post-fight-discussion-thread/page3 On the topic of Clowns Robbie is always pulling your card. i remember when you and him were going back and forth and you yielded and tried to offer a olive branch telling him he reminded you of yourself something cheesy like that but he didnt care and insulted you again:rofl::rofl::rofl:. he's your kryptonite. You always sound like a twat when you are conversing with him

Can't knock AJ here. It's going to take a lot to beat Usyk in the rematch, but as someone else says he has all the physical advantages and knows how to box. Think gas tank and Usyk's elusiveness will be his biggest hurdle to overcome... I can see Joshua looking much better first half of their rematch, maybe even wobbling Usyk - but Usyk weathering that and taking over and stopping a gassed Joshua late.

When you are winning we can all get carried away in the moment. Barrett brought up a few of your posts of the past that equally didnt age well. It happens, its all part of growing and evolving :cool2::cool2: You and Robbie claimed that AJ vs Usyk was a mismatch lol, I'll always have a million times more credibility than you clowns. https://i.imgur.com/sTaizxc.png https://www.boxingscene.com/forums/boxing-forums/non-stop-boxing/662935-official-tyson-fury-vs-wladimir-klitschko-post-fight-discussion-thread/page3

I agree I don't think what he does in 1 training camp or 100 would be enough to beat Usyk. But he's trying. He already has the tools to beat Usyk now he just needs to implement it with a sound coach in his corner barking the correct orders. Look at Fury when he went with SUgar hill. He changed his entire fighting style and lets be honest Fury was never a come forward style boxer. Joshua naturally is so if Fury can benefit and change so much in one camp Joshua should AT least make some improvements. In any case the game plan isn't difficult he needs to impose his will, let his hands go, clinch him and rough him up. Easier said than done of course.

This AJ column didn't age well lol. Anthony Joshua column: ‘Rob McCracken is my answer to Sir Alex Ferguson’ https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/boxing/anthony-rob-mccracken-sir-alex-ferguson-b956744.html When you are winning we can all get carried away in the moment.

It's official now, Anthony Joshua will be training with Ronnie Shields for the Usyk rematch :boxing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vElSr3Jodgo I listened to 6 minutes and that was enough. I'm putting big Money on AJ for the rematch. He accepts the loss and knows he needs a new trainer instead of a cheerleader . Ronnie has trained much better fighters than AJ so he is definitely not in awe of him. Mccracken in contrast had big nose Carl Froch and amateur fighters
