Because he's a Joshua groupie and says it's a fallacyComment

And if he were at least 70% for the first Ruiz fight - Ruiz wouldn’t stood a chance in hell. I’ll just leave that there.

Some of you are just so dumb, you don’t know what a glass chin is. Glass shatters but AJ has never been KO’ed in his career. KO and TKO (stopped) are two different things. Glass chin is Amir Khan and others that go night night after one punch.
And if he were at least 70% for the first Ruiz fight - Ruiz wouldn’t stood a chance in hell. I’ll just leave that there.
is that better?Comment

Usyk should’ve come in at the same weight as Andy Ruiz. Got a tan, dyed his hair black and wearing a sombrero.
That would make AJ crap his pants before the fight started.Comment

He’s not naturally big, so coming in heavy won’t help his punch resistance. This is just similar to Ruiz 2, and Pulev with guys thinking AJ has a glass chin and coming in heavier than normal for power.
AJ is also excellent against Southpaws and he has never lost against a Southpaw in the amateurs and pros. So it’s going to be an early night.Comment

Usyk is getting sparked tomorrow. Uppercut and left hook combo - write this down!Comment

Joshua has fairly good punch resistance, it is just that his coping mechanism seem to go slightly when hurt. But it takes a considerable amount of power to stop him in his tracks.
I am not sure how good Joshua is under sustained heavy bombardment ether 'He experienced such a situation vs Kiltschkko'.
But that was a different kind of Joshua.
I don't like this matey matey attitude from Joshua at the weigh in, it is getting a bit out of hand of late.
Nevertheless, Joshua should win 'But I suspect it will not be as emphatic as people expect'.

He's exellent against southpaws? His pro fights are almost exclusively against orthodox fighters. The only southpaw of note he has fought is Charles Martin, who didn't come to fight. He may well do fine against Usyk, but I don't think the evidence is there to say he is excellent against southpaws.
He was excellent in the amateurs against Southpaws as well. Cammarrelle was a Southpaw - an excellent one and one of the greatest ones. And AJ beat him the both times they fought in the amateurs. And Cammerrelle sparked David Price and Yoka. He also beat Yoka, Hrgovic, Kuzmin, Parker etc. by a wide margin in the amateurs.
Cammarrelle just never turned pro and he might actually be more technically gifted as a Southpaw than Usyk. And he punches hard.Last edited by BangEM; 09-24-2021, 08:42 AM.Comment
