AJ should have fought like Chisora.
Styles make fights I have no idea why people expected a boxer-puncher to suddenly become a pressure fighter or swarmer.
Chisora is a bull. He has a low centre of gravity and fights short bobbing & weaving, getting under shots and winging big powershots over the top.
Chisora is just built different that guy will give just about anyone big problems just because he is so strong, durable and physical. It doesn't matter what you hit him with unless you put his lights clean out he's going too keep coming.
AJ while built like a Greek God and can no doubt outlift just about anyone in the division isn't particularly physically strong. There is a difference between being strong and being physically strong. He has incredible bone density.
Maybe AJ would have been more aggressive if Usyk didn't land a big straight left off the bat that put him on his heels and several others early in the first round.
I think AJ not even one minute into the fight quickly discovered Usyk has the speed, timing, accuracy to hurt him. If he was more aggressive he'd have got lit up much worse.
Only Chisora has the attributes in the HW division to just show virtually a total disregard for the sweet science and have such success granted I only gave him 3 maybe 4 rounds at best.
I don't expect many to agree but I actually feel that was the best AJ has looked he was feinting with purpose, his upper body movement was a little better and more fluid and its the first time I've really seen him adjust in a fight. Usyk is just that good and then some.
