Comments Thread For: Oleksandr Usyk Rocks Anthony Joshua, Boxes To Spectacular Decision To Win Heavyweight Titles

[Gurgutt]

Wilder and Fury are more athletic and fluid with their attacks. Wilder just has to touch him and it's lights out. Fury would use his reach and height to avoid Usyk's attacks and batter him.

Slow feather-fisted hippo Fury will be furiously helpless and ridiculed Calzaghe-style, and Telegraph Road Wilder will either take "no mas" stooping sadly on his stool or get dropped after prolonged vicious 360-degree battering.
If Joshua goes for rematch (which I doubt) he gets kindergartened no matter be it Kyiv or London again.

Usyk would get seriously hurt by Wilder. Fury would actually USE his height and reach to frustrate, potshot and destroy Usyk. We're talking the big boys now. Not somebody who leaned out and thought he could outbox Usyk. I don't think Joshua will do that again. He'll knock Usyk out in the rematch and that will be the end of Usyk's reign... provided Joshua goes back to being a beast who takes a shot to give one.

6-6? Really? And which rounds are you giving to AJ?

Live 4,5,6,8,10,11... I though 10 was close, maybe it I should have scored that for Usyk. I feel 11 was even closer but still gave it to AJ.

If I would have given Usyk 10 then I guess my revised score would have been Usyk 7-5. And like I said before even if the rounds were closer I still think Usyk won the overall. He had the better work rate, skills, and did the most damage. All you MFs are making it seem like I have something against Usyk because I thought the fight was a little closer. Don't be a bitch, haha. My scoring is just my opinion. You all are making it seem like I scored it 8-4 AJ.

he can't take a shot, that is his problem... we actually saw that with Ruiz

Usyk was buzzing him with those hooks/counters

Simple really, this is what happens when a very good boxer tries to outbox a fantastic boxer.There's a time to box and a time to brawl, Joshua needed to channel his mate Del Boy Chisora, just do it a bit better.
I think these rematch clauses are part of the problem, they encourage Joshua to treat the fight like sparring as he knows the 1st fight is basically a free swing. With no rematch clause the pressure is on to come up with plans A, B, and C for a specific opponent in camp and get the result on the night.

Absolutely. We also saw that vulnerability when he fought Whyte, Klitschko and Povetkin. The point is Joshua has to get back to the place where he doesn't care, and tries to knock out his opponent anyway.

Problem is, he lost his unbeaten status to Ruiz and he lost his self confidence as well.

He doesn`t believe he can beat all of them like he used to believe.

Small fork in the road. I believe he'll beat Usyk in the rematch
