Comments Thread For: Conor Benn: Nobody Will Outbox Uysk at Heavyweight, Chisora Drew The Blueprint To Beat Him

[Bob]

Easier said than done. Everyone is acting like Usyk won't anticipate that Joshua will try and rush him in the rematch. I think Usyk will be ready for anything AJ brings in the rematch.

It's not like Usyk wasn't prepared for that in the first fight.
It might have been Ajs plan until he took his first straight left down the pipe.

I said before the first fight about Usyks punch output from cruiser to heavy dropping drastically.
I asked had he been underwhelmed or sandbagging.
He obviously had.
Nobody thinks Usyk hadn't already planned to be rushed the first fight?
Nobody thinks in reality Aj hadn't planned to have a go at Usyk? Then that first left went down the pipe. After that he kept missing everything, the jab especially, Aj couldn't set anything up.
Seriously what can he do different?
He had a size disadvantage the first fight, he was so slow & people
are saying get bigger & slower xD

I agree with this guy. Usyk didn't look good against wither Witherspoon or CHisora. Aj was made for him really - AJ's greatest asset is his skill and Usyk's are a lot better. Also AJ does not have a good chin. Other heavyweights can take a punch to land a punch and they punch harder than Chisora. I think Fury will struggle with Usyk (like he did Cunnigham) for a similar reason. Wilder may have a chance but the skills deficit could well be too big. I think Usyk would struggle with a more traditional big HW with a good chin and punch.
