    How does A.J. win the rematch

    In my opinion the only way he wins is to come out going for broke from the opening bell. He will either land his shot and stop Usyk or he gets beat worse on the cards or stopped himself.

    I agree. It has to be all pressure to somehow get Usyk to the ropes.

    He's got about as much chance as Wilder fighting Fury.

    I'm wondering whether he wouldn't be better delaying the rematch and seeing if Usyk can go and fight Fury/Wilder.

        He wins by bulking up and going to war with Usyk, pressure him and get him on the ropes. He's not outboxing him, if he takes the rematch he needs to go for broke.

              Easy to say now, but the coming in lighter strategy didn't work. Needs to come with size and come for the KO. He needs to treat Usyk the way Fury did Steve Cunningham. I don't know if thats possible, but Joshua could fight Usyk 10 times and not get the decision.... not gonna happen. Usyk will be better adjusted to the weight next time.

                He is not going to outbox him his only chance is to use every bit of his size advantage and take it to him and brawl, which is not AJs way.

                  ...He Won't! Awful Stylistic Match Up for AJ, always was

                  Posted YEARS ago that Usyk best opportunity to become Heavyweight Champ was against AJ because he is too stiff

                    Definitely not out of the question for him to win but he probably needs to change up his style. If nothing else he needs a hell of a lot more pressure and needs to be less pensive in throwing his punches. It worked for him against Ruiz the second time and Pulev but against someone whose hands and brain work quicker than him, the odds will always be against him even factoring in his height and reach advantage. He needs to throw caution to the wind and impose himself using his size and power to grind Usyk down before he can get into the fight.
