Comments Thread For: Joshua Plans For War With Usyk, Explains Why He Tried To Outbox Him

Gotta hit him first.
Odds on Usyk winning by ko just halved.

As a recently critical fan, I watched his recent interview with Kugan Cassius. He was saying how he may act professional under the spot light, be a humble loser, and have tried to box more. But he accepts he put too much time into improving his boxing (strange sentence really, can you shoot him for that).

He is looking to learn new things and use his aggression better. Went immediately to the States to see different coaches, learn some new things, had some difficult conversations within his team setup. Will mix it up and embrace the challenges. He spoke well of Wilder and Fury, gave them props. At the same time he got a bit edgy and sweary, showed some passion at points.

What more do you want really. Athletes win and lose. In fight sports you can be one of the very best one minute, to a bum the next minute. Which shows some rather exaggeratory fans up for just being over the top.

I doubt he wins the rematch either as Usyck is quite the talent and it's a bad style match-up. But he's not afraid to face to top despite what might be said, and he'll give it a damn good go. Props to any athlete for that. #LosersGonnaHate

I took the exact same thing from that interview and he gained more respect from me for doing it. Fans are obsessed today with unbeaten records, that’s not what boxing is about, boxing is about good match ups and the story of the fights. It takes character to come back from losses, try to learn and improve, seek advice. I totally believe him when he says that he is always trying to learn something in life not just boxing, he has the growth mindset of a high achiever and that’s why a lot of haters or just generally jealous under achievers don’t like him. They can’t relate cos he’s not bad guy like Mike Tyson or a ****y Fury or gang ****ing Tank, he’s just a guy doing his best and in the overall scheme of things he isn’t doing all that bad.

Joshua lost to a fat guy, and a little guy! However both had fast hands! Some fighters get angry by getting hit, and look to hit back! AJ seems to go into survivor mode, and tries to avoid being KO'd! You can't win in survivor mode, especially when you give up too many early rounds!

The little guy is bigger than Holyfield (not as PED muscular) and the same size as Ali.

Joshua's supposed change in tactics will result in him getting tagged early and often and stopped.

The murder card is played out at this point. That said, if this new attitude makes the rematch more exciting, I am all in!

It definitely make the fight more exciting but it's a recipe for disaster for Joshua. I pick Usyk by KO within eight rounds.

Exactly. Also, by the 6th and 7th round his team was supposed to know how close the fight was. This idea that they fought the “wrong strategy” is one of the many BS we keep hearing from sour losers. And AJ is exactly that.
Even if he wins the rematch, so what? AJ is officially a gatekeeper at HW.
Loony Wilder will beat him at this point.

Your poor arteries carrying that oxygenated hate into your heart. The audacity of you to call a former unified champion a sour loser. In fact you are entitled to your opinion i can accept that but to then say Well if Joshua wins the rematch so what he is officially a gate keeper at HW is just straight hating. If he loses i get it you may think that but if he wins he is unified Champion again. You are just mad he blocked you from twitter....... Like my beloved Rex used to say...." grown man bars is something you got to deal with No matter......i forgot the rest of the quote


N.B..... I 'm talking about rex the battle rapper not the Canadian Nsb poster rex
