Comments Thread For: Joshua Says The Game Plan is To "Go For The Knockout" in Usyk Rematch

[Rayzah]

AJ is all over the place mentally, “box and don’t get hit, walk him down, box”. Usyk is a slick dude and if AJ comes to fight you better believe it’s gonna be a hit and don’t get hit type of night for Usyk. It’s a mental state thing for AJ and he gives up to easy, not verbally but we all see it.

His mental state will decide if he gives himself a chance of winning.

He has to fight a hard, rough type affair, I'm not saying be reckless, but he's the far bigger more powerful guy, Usyk should be the one wanting to avoid contact, not him.

Usyk appears to be the iron man, but I've seen the same chunk in his armour that loma has, and that's he needs a clean canvas to work on, if you take it away he starts moaning to the ref and loses a bit of focus, Joshua should make this fight as ugly as he possibly can, using his physical advantages. But he has to have that mindset of this is not going to be a pretty fight.

When is the rematch going to happen? in 2026?

[Marchegiano]

I've been following him since the amateurs and he was a wip then and still wip now. How is that possible if you're not a bad fighter??



He can't pull a Ruiz here because Usyk is a great fighter who can box and move well. AJ's only hope is to maul him and that's more than likely not going to work and gas him early.

I don't think you understood my post, which, is fair I wrote it like an *******

Yes, that's a good point to throw on top of consistently comes in with the absolute worst game plan possible and then blame his training. I was alluding to how **** his training has been and the very little progress made with Josh is pretty great evidence for that bud.

Agreed, he shouldn't have even tried to box Usyk though. 265 pound of muscle, let's use our ****ing speed and footwork doe c'mon.

Usyk needs systems, routines, choreograph moves that he can anticipate and decode. All highly technical great boxers prefer this. And opponents provide this environment by? Trying to out think Usyk, trying to be all technical, and react to what Usyk is doing. That is precisely what Johsua was doing in the first fight.

Joshua was mirroring and trying to anticipate and react to what Usyk was doing. Joshua was the big man, fighting as if he was not the super heavyweight in the fight. I have went on record and stated 'No all-time great super heavyweight, would lose like Joshua did vs Uysk' Lennox Lewis would of utilized all of his attributes and made Usyk understand the power.

But if Joshua was to bring all out chaos, jabbing the to throat and chest, stepping on his ties, hitting to the body, arms, and shoulders, wrestling on the inside and rough house tactics.

The environment which Usyk excels in most, will be severely disrupted. And I don't think Usyk will have a answer, I don't think he will be able to cope 'Usyk also does not really have a inside game'.

For me Joshua has never shown the ability to fight in the inside, and his rough house tactics are limited. But his mid-range fighting capabilities are at maximum intensity ? The best in the heavyweight division.

So therefor I expect Joshua to come into this fight with a strong solid jab, and just unleash his mid-range offense at maximum intensity. If Joshua between the first fight and now, has learnt how to use rough house tactics, and fight a bit better in the inside? Then this will add to the effectiveness of his game plan.

This rematch is all about what Joshua is going to do. One thing we know about Joshua, is that he does not fight the same fight twice.

Joshua does on the fly, struggles to adapt 'Because he over thinks things, which makes him stall'. But his traits enable him to adapt long term. Joshua is a reflective fighter, and has near psychopathic work ethic and attention to detail.

I am being seriously when I use those type of descriptive words. In all top level sports, I don't think there are many athletes with the same kind of work ethic as Joshua. If Tyson Fury had Joshua's work ethic, he would probably not be retiring 'Goodness knows what Tyson Fury would be doing, it would be like that movie limitless' I have referenced that before.

Since he was beaten by Usyk, people must understand? Anthony Joshua has most likely been obsessing over the fight in minute detail. He has most likely been researching every opportunity there is for him to enhance his game, with a near psychopathic intensity.

I have always compared Joshua to batman, if he is given time to study and prepare. He will produce a game plan which can win.

Joshua has not disappeared, he is still here, and he will not fight the same fight twice. I sense and can pick up on the genuine apprehensiveness of Joshua's dictators. They know for all of his drawbacks, and apparent fears and deficiencies? Being honest with themselves, they know there is something within Joshua, there is something different. There is something that creates discomfort.

That is why people want him to disappear, hang his head in shame. That is why they create these stories him being afraid, not having a heart. These are all coping mechanism, because there is something within Joshua that people fear.

A war is a collection of battles, the war between Usyk & Joshua 'Is not over'.

Don't give plan away but I'm assuming if he is outboxing you early on, don't leave it too late for ko.
but the goal is to get usy k on rubbery legs and going. Josh used to be a great finisher when he smelt blood

You can't train a fighter how to shift gears in a fight, that's part of the fighter himself. AJ should know how to think for himself and make the adjustments he needs to at the appropriate time. Case in point, Floyd. You think he listened to Roger or his Dad every round? He went in there and did his own thing and he's not the only one. I'm not denying that a better trainer can make AJ a better fighter, but there is a point of accountability to get the job done that he's shown often to not possess. He fights and thinks like a programmed drone.

[elfag]

So AJ has a gameplan this time around?

Well that is an improvement because he sure as *** didnt have one last time.

[Smash]

thats the attitude, when in doubt put the foot on the gas and hope the wheels dont come off the bus

[RoadOfTheGypsy]

He said that last time.
