Comments Thread For: Joshua: I Believe I'll Get A Good Win In Next Fight With Usyk Because Of What I Learned

[thack]

What Joshua learned was Usyk was not a fat obese fighter who could hardly move like Ruiz in the rematch when Joshua decided to stick and run .Joshua is simply not in the frame when it comes to the elite .I would fancy both Wilder and Fury to beat Usyk who is a good little un but did a job on a decent true heavyweight in Joshua. I admire Joshua's never say no attitude here but it's all in vain and I will be surprised if he's not stopped in the rematch.

- He can come back 100%
- Usyk surprised with higher weight and atletism, while retaining most of his speed and stamina.
- That surprise is gone.
- Next time Joshua will adjust and be ready for it, most likely increasing smothering and not giving away rounds so easily.
- So, like it was in the second Ruiz fight, chances are Joshua will look better in the second Usyk fight, and if he is not knocked out, he may come closer on points, which maybe enough to take it away with friendly judges.
- He may not be able to beat Usyk convincingly, except lucky punch, but that may not be necessary to win the fight.

The problem he's got isn't solving the Usyk he faced at the weekend. That would be tough enough, though even I can see very clear things that worked and didn't work.

His problem is that Usyk is a master at solving problems during fights. It's also what Joshua doesn't seem to do too well. He made adjustments on Saturday and Usyk just stepped up a gear and brought the fight home.

I'll watch though. And I hope he can do it. If he does, then fair play to him.

Yes, there's a fair chance that Usyk will prove just too good, but Joshua should go for the rematch even if there is the prospect of two successive losses. Better to go for it and fail than shy away from the challenge.

I could see him getting a boring win just like hi did against ruiz on the second fight

Release the mckraken!!!!

He ran for 12 rounds in the rematch against Ruiz... He can't do that against Usyk, so unless he goes all in and tries to KO him, it's another loss on his record.

He's not fighting B-level fighter like Ruiz, who barely trained for the rematch and became the best client of half of local pizzerias.

Yes, the element of surprise is gone, but the reason Usyk won is not only because he surprised AJ with his skills. Usyk won because he was simply on another level as a boxer. And AJ will not be the only one analyzing that fight. So will Usyk and he will also be anticipating a much more aggressive AJ. It would be a very interesting fight.

Totally agree with your last 2 points. It's too much money to be lost by Matchroom, DAZN and AJ himself, if AJ loses again to Usyk. So, yeah, I would anticipate behind the curtain commotion to make sure AJ wins no matter what. Maybe they'll invite Adelaide Byrd to judge and make AJ's cousin a referee.

[thereeldeel]

He can't outbox Usyk as Usyk is the superior boxer and if he gets aggressive early he'll run out of steam and gets stopped. There's nowhere to go for AJ other than a career ending loss.

I seriously don't understand the harsh criticism of Joshua's record. Simply because it is light years better then both Fury's and Wilder's combined and I am not even a fan of his.
