Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua Pumped Over Addition of Robert Garcia For Usyk Rematch

[Madison Boxing]

usually they hype up the new bond with the new trainer and then put in a shocker of a performance and blame the coach afterwards.

I like this move, if he can't figure out how to get to Usyk's body with Garcia then it isn't going to happen.

I thought he found how to get to Usyk's body in the mid rounds, but it was fleeting because Usyk is a cunning mif;er and he adapted. But whatever AJ was thinking when he was stepping to the right place, and finding the angle how to land his right hand to the body is what I think they need to find again. And because Usyk will adapt, Garcia may bring that key corner advice needed to recapture the play back

Don't recall Garcia training anybody above welterweight. Is there really no difference in training boxers of such different sizes? I'll probably get corrected, but it seems like most Garcia fighters were compact pressure fighters with solid chins.

Having said that, I have no idea what style beats Usyk. Wlad style jab-n-grab maybe?

But Nelson said Usyk was all too much for his countryman and kicked out of sparring to save further embarrassment.

He told Behind the Gloves in 2018: “I rate Usyk.

"When I saw him sparring with Wladimir when Wladimir was preparing for Tyson Fury, I said ‘Who is that guy? Who is he?’

“I had no idea, but I know there was something special about him.

"He did one round with Wladimir, and Wladimir slung him out and said, ‘get out, not while the press is here.’

“He was making it hard for Wladimir. He was like bossing Wladimir.

“‘Get him out. Get somebody else in."

Seems like when Joshua lost, everyone had a solution to what he could do better.Now that he has a coaching team in place, everyone seems to think that Garcia can’t help him.

Aj should have hired a boxing scene forum poster instead

Nice payday for Garcia, happy for him but still hope Joshua loses again.

In my opinion the version of Joshua to beat Usyk? Has already fought inside a boxing ring.

The big question is 'Can Anthony Joshua bring that fighter back?'.

From the Wladimir Kiltschko fight to just up until the Andy Ruiz Junior 1 fight.

Those version's of Anthony Joshua beat Uysk.

Joshua's attitude was more brazen, his mid-range offense was used more during fights. And he was not obsessed with being super light.

Joshua's strength, and punching power all go out the window once he starts getting around 240 pounds and below.

Joshua also displayed superior endurance vs Kiltschko and he was at one of his heavyset ever weights for that fight.

Being lighter does not automatically improve a heavyweights endurance. So I honestly think Joshua needs to get back on the Jollof rice and embrace his power etc.

One thing for certain. McKracken being gone is a great thing. He made Joshua into a stiff robot, just like he did with Carl Crotch. I don't know if Garcia can help Joshua, though. The kind of trainers I envision being able to help Joshua, are all dead. Guys like Eddie Futch, Curtis Cokes, Teddy McWhorter, Emmanuel Steward, Georgie Benton, Jack Blackburn. Guys like this knew how to take a raw athlete like Joshua and mold him into something serious. You see Joshua from fight to fight looking fit and strong, but his skills aren't improving. No one really teaches certain skills anymore, 1st of all is balance, fighting inside, defense, body punching, parrying, how to feint, how to set everything up, as well as how to bring that mean streak out. Joshua needs more than anyone today can teach

[SN!PER]

Feel like AJ will try to make it rough in there but won't know what he's doing and then Usyk will clip him.

You mean the Joshua who looked hesitant and gunshot against Parker and Povetkin? The one who got a UK stoppage against Takam?

you guys need to face facts. Joshua had such an entertaining fight with Wlad because Wlad was 42 and washed. Looking back it should show how limited Joshua was and still is, but you view it as him destroying a prime Vitali instead of going life and death with an inactive old man who immediately retired after.

Everyone’s an expert on Forums that’s why this is a great escape from reality . The reality is most would act like those kids in the recent footage posted trolling him but the fact is he isn’t changing styles he’s doing what he’s always done which is tweak a minor thing to win ,McCracken wasn’t even a full time trainer so based on that A.J done exceptionally well . Everyone also said A.J could not outbox Ruiz and when he did he ran ?

Id be surprised if A.J cannot get by a southpaw in general and has a second shot at it .
