Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua: No Sulking, I've Got To Take Loss as a Great Lesson

[lion33lit]

This won’t be a Ruiz type rematch for Joshua. Usyk celebrates within disciplined reason - he won’t come back too skinny or fat or with a burrito stuck in his mouth. He’ll be ready for any of Joshua’s robotic backing up that was performed on Ruiz - he’ll close the distance with ease.

I was NEVER a fan of Joshua’s robotic style and this fight was case in point. There was no “upset” when Ruiz mopped him - he came to America in EXCELLENT shape - but mentally wishing he wasn’t there, hoping one of his power shots would be enough to ‘wound’ Ruiz (a Ruiz that ONLY looked out of shape), so he could try the desperation pounce that ultimately didn’t finish the job.

Joshua is limited to the motion of his bulk and if you can stay out of his power striking range(?) he’s in trouble if you can hit back. Wilder would’ve flattened him, it’s a good thing Barry advised him to “duck” him at the time (YouTube), so he and Eddie could successfully work on those photo shoots and commercial appeal….

AJ, I'd say your jaw is getting glassified. It will only get worse.

I don't think that's the situation here.

The fact is, Ruiz did something to this man

Think back to how Joshua fought against Grabomir.

He's trying to be a boxer instead of a bruiser and I'm not sure why.

He scared of getting knocked out again and looking like a quitter, Ruiz ruined his mental and now fighting the way he fights now makes it easy for any boxer with skills and not old can easily outbox him

It's hard to be sad when you've made as much money as AJ has.

AJ is fake as hell, saying things to convince himself that he can actually beat somebody with the skill of Usyk without landing a lucky punch. I just hope Wilder gets to knock out this bum before they retire, his glass chin would not hold up to anything Wilder has for him.

If that’s the criteria then a lot of fighters are “fake as hell”. If a fighter isn’t convincing himself that he can win then they’re not really a fighter.

He needs a different trainer. He looks stiff. No rhythm. While I'm not a fan of the punch and clinch style, AJ should be able to do it against a smaller man. He doesn't fight using his strengths.

And yet the guy with all the excuses is heading back in a third time...having to go through surgery, arbitration and a delay to do it.

Joshua's appeal has always been to the Garden variety mediocre idiot. The kind of takes words and empty gestures as a sign of substance. Joshua is all talk. Whether he actually believes the guff he comes out with his another matter. Something tells me he doesn't. At least with Wilder I know I'm not going to here some coiffeured, media trained rubbish.

Anthony Joshua carries himself like he is a decent human being. And you are obviously not a decent human being so you resent him.

Deontay Wilder is a sore loser and a bitter individual that makes tons of excuses so you can relate to
him.

I think he got his tactics all wrong, Usyk fought a great fight. Definitely the best I’ve seen him( I’ve only seen the Breidis, Bellew and Chisora fights).

However, I think in the rematch he needs to really fight rather than try to box, he will always lose a boxing match to him.

Chisora had some success against Usyk by taking the fight to him, the AJ in the Wlad fight and previously would have had a better chance against him. Also think since he became a 2 fights a year boxer, he’s just never looked that great and kind of boring.

[sammybee]

AJ should think over the immediate rematch.
another loss in the rematch might kill his career.
