Comments Thread For: Hearn: Joshua Looks Massive, Looks Like an Absolute Unit in Training Camp

[Redgloveman]

AJ is a stiff, robotic bodybuilder. Usyk has looked horrible since moving up to HW. This fight is kind of weak compared to fury/wilder 3.

said like someone who has no interest in boxing as a sport whatsoever.

fangirls are ruining these forums

Never heard that expression before but it sounds pretty gay.

It's a term used by truckers to describe the truck part of a truck and trailer combo rig. Also used as slang for a huge, powerfully built guy. I thought it originated in the US, but maybe it's a UK thing.

There's only one Tyson Fury!!!!!!

Hearn talking out of his arse again.

The guy looks lean and nimble. And he’ll most likely come in between 240-245.

All due respect to Usyk, but I think AJ is a bridge too far for him. AJ has superior all-around skills, and a wealth of experience despite his tender years. Usyk to have a chance will have to bring his A++ game while AJ could still win with a b class performance.

He's dealt with tactical boxers before - the likes of Parker, Ruiz, Klitschko whereas I don't think Usyk has faced such a powerhouse in AJ who can just about do it all, without being a master at anything.

Usyk is not a known power puncher, and his best chance would be to be agile, in and out with emphasis on power shots to the body - lots of feints, with his greatest asset being a southpaw.

I'm actually hoping that the final showdown is between AJ and Wilder - if styles make fights, this could be a battle of the giants with both men capable of sending the other crashing to the canvas.

Does Usyk have a decent chin coz he'll likely need it.

AJ looks lean and sharp - and he’ll most likely fight Usyk the way Bellew and Witherspoon fought him, without exhausting too much energy in the first few rounds. Both had success against Usyk by counterpunching, especially with the straight right down the pipe. But he’ll mix it up with his jabs, hooks and feints.

I was watching Usyk vs Glassiev the other day and for a guy as crude, one-dimensional and slow as Glassiev - he landed too many punches. And Usyk felt uncomfortable every time Glassiev landed.

This is definitely an interesting fight. Usyk can’t outbox AJ because no one has ever outboxed him for 12 rds in the pros and he doesn’t have the KO power to spark AJ. It will be won based on AJ’s stamina.

I don’t thing Joshua wins this one- I could see him winning in a terrible decision tho

AJ Fans love his body and don't know **** about boxing, so this doesn't surprise me. I'm sure they're all creaming in their pants over Hearn calling him a unit.

Eddie talkin lies again.

AJ looking smaller than ever lol. Dude is coming in to RUN for 12 rounds against a guy coming up from cruiserweight, not a good look. I was expecting AJ to dispose of him quickly. That Ruiz loss is still haunting him. Recently he was talkin about being GASSED in the Pulev fight, oy vey, that aint good!

[Larry the boss]

So Hearn has seen his"MASSIVE UNIT"??

[Motofan]

I think the best Usyk can hope for is a clear robbery. He can potentially make AJ look cement footed and silly. But he isn’t winning on the cards and I’m not sure he hits hard enough to stop Joshua.
