Robert Garcia is going to train Anthony Joshua for Usyk rematch

[M312]

People like to overcomplicate trainers.

He just needed to freshen up. Doesn't matter who at this stage.

If it brings him confidence, that's all that matters. He's an Olympic champion with good fundamentals. Good luck to him.

Got the feeling Usyk gonna knock him out considering Joshua is looking to be more aggressive this time

[TreyShaw]

Probably not. AJ doesn’t have a good enough chin to fight the style that Garcia teaches.

Ha never thought I'd agree with you yes your right he doesn't have the chin but he also doesn't have the skills to outbox usyk. He'll have to go for broke use his size and power and make it rough to have a chance at winning.

Agree on all statements

So all of a sudden Usyk is a monster puncher?

If Usyk could not stop Joshua in round 12 of the first fight, he is not stopping him in the rematch.

I don't think Usyk has enough power with a single punch to deck Joshua.

I find it highly amusing, the amount of people trying their best to convince themselves that Joshua is petrified of Usyk.

I don't sense this, the Ruiz Junior rematch was more of daunting terrifying fight for Joshua to prepare for.

Joshua is game for this rematch.

Posters run on mostly delusions on here . Usyk is an underrated puncher but it’s how he sets heavy shots up . A.J hurt him more actually in their fight only he was outworked but only slightly minor adjustments could see him stopping Usyk which I expect to happen .

We have to remember most hardcore fans don’t even wAtch a fight back ,and remember only the last rounds usually 11 and 12 and go on nonsensical logic just like his last rematch where he was dead in the water on here .


I wouldn’t put to much stock in any trainer he picks if he’s choosing someone it’s basically for a slight change in offense . I’d like Ali Bashir being Usyks firmer trainer but I’m sure there’s a reason that didn’t pan out ?

AJ doesn't have the tank for Garcia's style.

I disagree, AJ has tried to bounce around on his toes like he's Muhammed Ali.

He'll save a lot of energy if he's walks down Usyk flat-footed and uses all of his energy for punching.

Joshua was beaten, but I think people's reaction to the loss has been dramatic. He was beat, he was out boxed but? He was competitive in almost every single round.

Joshua was competitive while fighting the wrong kind of fight. In his mind, this can be registered as a positive. He has more positives that he can take from Usyk 1, than his first fight against Ruiz Junior. Yes he knocked Ruiz Junior down, but he also watched for the first time in his career 'A fighter take his power and rise up again' so it is debatable whether that is really a big positive.

Lets say Joshua's game plan for this rematch is to fight 80% more aggressive at mid-range. There may have to be some rounds where he mixes things up and boxes from long range with Usyk.

Joshua knows from past experience, that if he does this? He is not going to be blown out of the water. He may drop a round, but he knows he can survive.

Like you have pointed out, people are not really analyzing the fight deeply. They only want to see and understand that Joshua was beaten 'And then perpetuate these stereotypes that he is petrified, afraid, got no heart etc'.

I keep telling people? Tyson Fury has retired, that mans gone, he out of here. He does not want to be involved anymore.

Anthony Joshua is still here, and he is taking on the biggest challenge in the heavyweight division.

Joshua's critics are the people who are absolutely petrified 'Of what could possibly happen'. Because they all know deep down, there is something different about Joshua. His traits that go against him acutely, are also what work for him during the long game. There is no fighter active in the heavyweight division who studies boxing, and obsesses over winning like Joshua. He has near psychopathic work ethic, which is not normal.

Joshua has been preparing for Usyk since the end of the last fight.

Probably not. AJ doesn’t have a good enough chin to fight the style that Garcia teaches.

No chin, no stamina either

My pick would of been Abel Sanchez up in big bear
