Comments Thread For: Usyk Smiles at Joshua Promising To Be More Aggressive, Dangerous in Rematch

[BangEM]

On third watch AJ done better than i first viewed but rounds 9 to 12 were horrible and for that reason i cant see him winning the rematch. He didnt let his hands go enough and he looked like he was going to faint when the bell sounded for the end of the fight. If he lets his hands go in the rematch and Usyk is still standing Aj doesnt have a chance in hell in making it to the final bell talk less of winning. His only chance of survival is adopting the Fury choke and hold that buys him 40 seconds every round so long as he can hold him minimum twice in a round .Elbowing him in the throat you only lose one poin,t its worth the risk

You think he can't win the rematch because he was gassed and couldn't see in the championship rds? That's laughable.

Say he starts fast and hit Usyk the way he's meant to hit him and scores multiple KDs and Usyk had to deal with a nasty injuries (Usyk had a cut around his head and eye in the first fight)...you still think he can't win?

He can knock Usyk out if he goes for it. Usyk wincing after getting hit by those weak punches shows he can get knocked out. Usyk was hurt multiple times in that fight.

He will make a great super villain when he retires.

Usyk knows that Joshua doesn’t have the heart, stamina or chin to fight aggressively without getting stopped. The only ones who don’t seem to know this are Joshua and a few of his groupies on this site.

What is he supposed to do? Cry?

But he wasn’t laughing when those jabbed punches hit him.

And if AJ had punched him with bad intentions like he was meant to do and not keep pulling back - he’d be nursing some broken bones in his face now.

But he didn’t that’s the point,Joshua has to really find the will to win

Do you think he nearly fainted after the fight because of his eye? he saw well enough when he was to his credit, trying to avoid the barrage of shots coming his way in the 12th. My issue is this he knew he was behind , he knew Usyk was boxing his ears off its not like he threw some big right hands and was missing so he got a bit gun shy. He had more to give but he gave up mentally, knowing he had the rematch as back up.

We know Joshua is capable of knocking him out but he didn't come close. I believe in the rematch he has to be aggressive but thats easy for me to say sitting on my computer. There was a reason why he was not aggressive in the first place. what naturally aggressive fighter doesn't want to be aggressive?

say he starts fast? say he doesn't start fast? That is a strong possibility. i want him to win but i really dont know whats going on in that head of his. He is looking for answers from his team but its him in the ring. My confidence may sway when i see the trainer he brings in but for now i can only talk about what i saw, i cant talk about what he can do because he hasn't done it

You lost me at “…it could be argued that he (AJ) won 5 rounds.”
Good luck with that argument

AJ won 3 rounds but as i'm a fan i will say 4 rounds .

Boxers poker faces are great, AJs is good when he was being koed by Ruiz he could smile. But at end of usyk fight AJ was slumped on stool with pain on his face that was worry to see. Wonder what the discomfort was to be frank I'm not sure. I'd never seen AJ like that.

The only way Joshua wins this is he stops Usyk early. Good luck with that, lol.

He was gassed by the 12th rd.

Honestly, I don't think he took Usyk seriously until it was close to the fight hence he kept asking everyone dumb questions on fight night. Ty on YouTube was claiming AJ was all over Sheffield clubbing and he wasn't taking Usyk seriously, a few weeks to the fight. And Johnny Nelson also brought it up when he interviewed him a couple of days to the fight that people saw him out and about all over Sheffield and AJ quickly changed the topic. Johnny Nelson is from Sheffield and lives there and he many people saw AJ around and words were getting back to him, lol.

That said, what anyone who's objective saw was AJ starting slow and backing off until the mid rds when he got a bit aggressive. He was losing when he backed off and dominated the fight whilst hurting Usyk multiple times when he got aggressive. Then he gassed out and by the 12th rd he was completely gassed. Fight was competitive until the championship rds when he gassed and anyone who says otherwise is an idiot.

So if you're AJ - you'll go into the rematch doing what you're successful in doing in the first fight from the first rd with more pop in your punches and follow through. Then take the mid rds off to get a second wind whilst hugging and fighting dirty. And go into the championship rds a bit fresh. That was what he did against Pulev and it's not some rocket science.
