Usyk's chin.

[STREET CLEANER]

HE got hurt at the end of one of the rounds and doesn't like it at the body. But his chin is good and he is resilient, mentally tough.

He is a great slipper and roller! He has great cat like reflexes and could’ve pushed hard and got a late Ko. But he followed the directions of PapaChenko. Followed his game plan, that’s IQ and sheer determination. I believe there is a slight chance he might could make Fury look silly af. He would just have to get through the hard part, the range! Tyson is a big dude and would get at least out run for the first couple of rounds.

Man you know there isn’t Anyone that likes a shot down low. They, body shots, straight up make you evaluate on the fly, especially after a few as it gets tender and raw feeling.

All the evidence I have seen is usyk has a very strong chin and his resume backs that up....never been dropped as a pro and I have never really seen him wobble....Joshua did rock him but usyk took it well and showed no real after effects of it.
The guy is has pedigree it’s as simple as that and he is unbeaten for reason

The best thing you can do to help your chin is to see shots coming. Usyk's fight IQ is very high and helps his ability to take shots.

Sorry, my mistake. I thought you were saying that AJ had Usyk hurt. Yes, I believe Usyk could feel the power of AJ and that’s what kept him boxing strategically and intelligently. He knew there was still danger even though he was in charge throughout most of the fight.

I don’t think AJ should retire. Even though he lost I believe he showed some pretty smart adjustments from previous fights. I think he can still compete with the other guys at the very top of the division. He still has time to improve. There aren’t any other heavyweights who have the skill and slick movements of Usyk. AJ can be at the top of the heap again if he plays his cards right and improves a bit. Even if he doesn’t improve he will still be tough to beat.

Perhaps, you are right. Maybe AJ can still right the ship but I won't count on it.I believe that the first Andy Ruiz fight permanently scarred him to the point of him being gunshy and very hesitant in letting his hands go.

There were many opportunities for Joshua to open up and capitalize on Usyk's inactivity. Oleksandr had gone several rounds without throwing any punches at all just in order to catch his second wind but AJ did absolutely nothing; Which is indicative of what I believe to be a shot figtter

Now there is no way that I can see him defeating either Deontay Wilder or Tyson Fury. They both would have knocked him out Saturday.

You might be right, but I’m going to wait to see what Joshua looks like in his next one or two fights before I decide whether he’s still got the drive and ability to be a top fighter. I believe he still has a lot of ability that he can refined and improved and he can still be a force. He comes off as a gentle laidback guy but we can’t always go by those outward appearances. He had to have a strong mind and a great drive to achieve what he has so far and he’s showed some toughness, especially in the Klitchko fight. The question is, is he losing that fire? Is his confidence shook so much that he can’t regain the drive to climb back to the top of the heap? I guess we can only wonder at this point.

I agree. Physically, he still has it but right now as we speak; Psychologically he's damaged goods. However, if he can only get his confidence back he should be just fine. He just has to start to believe in himself again that he can still take a punch and throw punches.

It just appeared to me that he was too afraid of opening up with his combination punches on Usyk; Especially when Oleksandr was gassed and in search for a second wind. That was Joshua's chance to pounce on him but he was very unwilling to take that chance.

However, I'm still rooting for AJ and wishing him all my best to regain his former glory against all comers for the exception of Deontay Wilder
