So it looks like AJ is going to try and outbox Usyk again

[IronDanHamza]

I don't think he necessarily meant he is still going to try and box with Usyk.

I expect him to come out the block fast. He better hope he get's him out of there though because if he doesn't then he's in for a long night.

No way he can outbox a boxer like Usyk who is leagues above him in skills that it’s not even funny. Perhaps you mean outwork Usyk, a tall task there too but the only way I see him banking in rounds.

I would argue that an effective work-rate is an integral component of "boxing". Certainly if Usyk's work-rate were not as high as it is he would be a less effective boxer.

AJ a record setting champ may not do math well, but he was one point from a draw on one card, 2 points on another, and near a stoppage of Usyk who looked like he'd been thru a sausage grinder even after cleaned and partially stitched up Frankenstein style

That’s called English bias, and he’s still counting on corruption to get him a win it seems.

Wrong decision imo, Joshua got outboxed and schooled by Usyk who was only operating at 70%. AJ needs to come out aggressive and knock Usyk out if he wants to win the rematch.

If you watch the actual interview, you'll see the context. He mentioned trying to box as a negative and wants to do something different this time.

[KillaMane26]

Can't believe he said that. Lol.

AJ is mentally fragile. He cannot outbox Usyk, and he will get picked off and pot-shotted if he tries that running ish he did against 500 lb Ruiz Jr in the rematch. He should take a leaf from Deontay Wilder's book, and throw the kitchen sink at Usyk. As many have said, AJ seems to have forgotten what got him to the top in the Pros, it certainly wasn't boxing smarts!

**** AJ what an idiot!

[ReggieKray]

AJ needs sugar hill

[SN!PER]

Haha... AJ needs Deontay in his corner.

"Alright Anthony, soon as that 1st round bell ring, you march straight into the fire and throw haymakers. Repeat after me: speak it, believe it, receive it."

AJ wasn't thoroughly outboxed like some believe. It was a close fight for the first 8 rounds. A draw on the scorecards by the 8th too. The fight changed when AJ got the eye injury. It's no coincidence that Usyk then swept the last third of the fight once AJ essentially had one eye. He couldn't see left hooks coming in. That's a very bad position to be in against Usyk. If AJ didn't get the eye injury he may have won (or lost) a very close decision, assuming the fight continued in the same pattern as those first 8 rounds.
