Comments Thread For: Hearn: Usyk's A Very Tought Fight For Joshua; AJ Must Be Completely Ruthless In That Fight

[Zonkmeister]

Hope they make this fight. Should be interesting. I believe the way to fight Usyk at HW is to go aggro on him, don't let him get comfortable in the ring, don't let him get his feet going. Bellew and Chisora had the right idea.

Dude has a serious gas-tank and is tough, so you better hope you have the stamina for that though.

Wondering if AJ is going to fight in lady-gloves like Chisora did, should this fight happen.

Worse than the Pulev fight. DAZN gets only the trash fights.

Joshua was knocked out by a 6 foot blubbery guy with average power, Usyk is 6,3 and a better fighter than Ruiz, he also staggered the iron jawed Chisora in his last fight so he can definitely hurt and ko the glass chinned Joshua.
I pick Usyk by stoppage.

Usyk has been struggling a lot when he moved to HW, getting hit a lot more than usual, and he has never looked good. AJ fight, if it happens, will be his biggest HW opponent who is skilled and has KO power. I actually think usyk is going to get KO'ed or stopped if he doesn't raise his game. He may be too small, and that has been his issue as well.

The classic BoxingScene hedge. Your opinion is correct regardless of what happens, right?

What do you think happens in this fight? Is it an easy fight because Joshua is an elite fighter,?

Or is it a difficult fight because Usyk is a top opponent? And Joshua will deserve credit if he wins?

My opinion is just my opinion. Nothing more. I never liked AJ as a boxer. I think he has power and a LOT of stamina, but a technique which is not elite. Fury imo has much better tech, something very difficult to find in hw boxing today. Personally I think Lewis has been the best hw of all times, just to say.

That said AJ is also managed by the worst ever so that combo makes me hope in a defeat.

But I'm not saying he's a fraud or something. He is quite good, just not the best. If he beats Usyk, for me that will be the best opponent he had till now. WK in his prime was better that U but not when he faced AJ.

Do you think Fury throw's punches better than Joshua? Hooks, Uppercuts, Jabs, Right hands?

Fury does not have better punching technique than Joshua, but he is more of a natural fluid fighter 'That is all'.

Fury's technique can still appear to be extremely clumsy.

[DaNeutral.]

So what we have is ppl making sure Joshua gets no credit regardless of who he fights or what the outcome is.

They said it was a crap fight for AJ, a cherry pick even though it’s a mando.
THEN
They said Joshua is ducking him cuz he is skilled and a threat and only fights old men.
THEN
They are back to saying it’s a crap fight and Usyk is useless.

Your narratives are on wheels and are interchangeable all to suit your agendas of giving no credit to anything the 2 time unified champion does.

Usyk hasn't looked good at heavyweight so far and it seems the extra weight doesn't suit so a fight against Joshua is a bit more of a guess , a shot in the dark . Against Chazz who was only ever fringe contender and never much good and had three fights in three years he looked poor , against Del who was brave but knackered , rolling forward with hands down Usyk couldn't do anything. So who knows , if he clips Joshua as Ruiz did then we know Joshua comes apart but Joshua is much bigger and has a dig. Disappointing match up really although Edward will try to sell it as something it's not. Tyson v Wilder 3 is much more the fight to watch even though Wilder made a fool of himself after his first loss he will be looking to do some serious damage here and Tyson won't take a backward step!

Any real fan will say that the fight to watch is Joshua v Fury. The other matchups are just preamble.

Go and take your head for a ****.

After round 1, Chisora was open to whatever shot Usyk wanted. He couldn’t have been more open to being wobbled and Usyk barely stopped Chisora walking forward. the only times Chisora went backwards was when he was off balance. Even pillow fisted Fury managed to bust Chisora up and get the stoppage.

Next you’ll say that because Whyte beat Chisora, he’d beat Joshua.
