Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua: First Time In My Career We're Working On Game Plan Ahead Of Usyk Rematch

[War Room]

Stop. Please don't ask that! We don't need to hear that answer. Theres a space. His daddy fills it. Isn't that enough?

I don't get it. Is this some gay lingo?

You'll have to ask him. We both saw what he wrote.

Joshua needs to be a tad heavier also, between 242-244 pounds.

I find when Joshua starts getting down to the 240-239 pounds, his strength goes out the window.

It has not improved his endurance, so that tactic is flawed.

Joshua's endurance was at its all time best vs Kiltschko, and he was at one of his heaviest weights.

Because Klitschko fights at a slow, melodic pace compared to Usyk.

Also, do not underestimate how nervous energy can drain the gas tank before and during the fight (i.e. adrenaline dump). Look at Whyte **** himself before fighting Fury, AJ is similar in that respect.

Stylistically the game plan to beat Usyk would of been straight forward for past super-heavyweights like Wladimir Kiltscko & Lennox Lewis

Lewis never fought any southpaws for good reason. Usyk would have boxed his head off. He is too slow and has a mediocre gas tank like AJ.

Anthony Joshua beat Tyson Fury up in sparring.

And Dillian Whyte decked him.

Usyk is not a complete fighter, and he is not a better fighter than Evander Holyfield. I don't think Lennox Lewis would be intimidated.

Usyk has zero inside game, so what is so unique about Usyk?

There is no evidence for those sparring stories. All that was claimed by third parties was that Fury once took the knee off a Whyte body shot and that AJ did a good job for a prospect.

Usyk was manhandling AJ on the inside. He knows how to establish bicep control and bump off to create separation. Just because he does not fight offensively up close does not mean "he has zero inside game".

If Joshua commits to a aggressive fight, Usyk is not getting away.

If Usyk could not get away from Chisora, until he slowed down? Then he for sure is not getting away from Anthony Joshua.

AJ has in no way the temperament to sustain that type of fight. Del Boy is specialized in his own thing, that would be a complete overhaul of AJ. Those overhauls never work out. Remember Floyd Sr training Hatton for the Pac fight, they start calling him Slick Rick in the media.

AJ already worked on a gameplan for ruiz rematch: jumping and running all night.

[deathofaclown]

The only way he wins this fight is bby teaching him to use his size, wrestle, stink the joint out, make it really dull ugly grapple fest and hope in that kind of a scenario Usyk's tank empties before Joshuas.

He will NEVER beat him in a clean fight.

He isn’t learning that in one camp. All those old veteran tactics of knowing how to use your size comes from years of practicing it in real gyms, there’s an art to it

AJ has spent far too long at that lottery funded sports institute in Sheffield, it’s not a real boxing environment. He should have left there as soon as he left the amateur setup. He’s been there nearly 10 years as a pro.

Exactly

People think just because you have size, it’s easy to bully your fighter on the inside. It’s not about size, there’s an art to knowing how to do it. AJ has no clue, like I just mentioned in my previous post.

Dave Allen is a good person to listen to, he’s sparred many rounds with Fury, AJ, Usyk etc and has fought Ortiz, Whyte etc. he said that AJ is very good but he’s so easy to manoeuvre around the ring in a clinch, like he suddenly becomes a big hollow unit because he doesn’t know understand what do in that situation. Explains why the much smaller Usyk could control him up close.

Joshua must just maul Usyk and break him down. That is the only way for him.

The tactics from Ruiz rematch obviously won`t work. Usyk will outbox his head off again.

Lennox Lewis has better endurance than Fury & Joshua.

His fight vs Ray Mercer was fought at a Higher pace than any of Fury's fights.

You are a Fury hardcore fan I get it.

Your altitude will change up, once Joshua beats Usyk.

That will be amusing.

Most boxers and by extension, the fans, do not understand the art of clinch fighting. Loma and Fury have trained little bits of wrestling, MMA, etc. which would help with this.

Floyd is another one with an underrated inside game. McGregor said after their fight he was surprised by his knowledge of framing in the clinch.

People think AJ is good on the inside because he is massive and has a nice uppercut. Man is useless there and at his best in the mid range.
