Comments Thread For: Robert Garcia: I'm Pushing Joshua To Be Aggressive, To Be a Mean Guy in The Ring

Yeah I think for AJ t win this he has to set a trap... Usyk could be vulnerable to being overconfident and AJ knows that when usyk is hitting him he is close enough to catch.

Yep. Clinching and bodyshots should do the trick. There is really no excuse for Joshua's clinchwork to be as bad as it is. He needs to keep it close and, as someone suggested, work off the counter. I remember this working well for Chisora. Joshua's also an uppercut specialist so working it into some sneaky **** a la Lewis can work as well. If he allows Usyk to get into any kind of rhythm then he's ****ed. He has the capability but its the mindset.

He is retired mate. I doubt he has been training everyday, or at the intensity he should be training at etc.

I don't think he was looking even better vs Whyte. Whyte is a world class fighter, but is a few levels below Fury.

I just think if Fury is to come back? He has made a mistake with his recent semi-retirement.

He isn't training at full intensity because he hasn't got a fight lined up. Like I said, he is still licenced and he is still the WBC champ. He isn't retired, he's just spouting bollocks like he always does, keeping people interested by keeping them guessing.

One day he says he's never fighting again, next day he says he will fight AJ for free if he beats Usyk, day after that he says if Usyk beats AJ he's going to wait till UK fans are begging him to come back and avenge AJ's loss .. etc, etc

It does make sense if you don't see the world in black & white. Ever heard of something called the gray area?

Sorry, let me rephrase that for 110% precision.

Instead of Sounds like he knew he's had officials and judges on his side, shady! =---> I meant to say Sounds like he thought he had officials and judges on his side, shady!

It also makes sense if you look at how close 2 of the scorecards were. The judges were favouring AJ, but Usyk was too dominant in too many rounds for them to go the whole hog and give AJ the win. Knowing the way things are in boxing I would have been shocked if at least one of the judges didn't show bias towards the A side home fighter.

To throw power punches you need to have faith in your chin and a good defence, because power shots come off of the back of combos most of the time....in fact pretty much all the time considering Joshua is a combination puncher. Logic would suggest he doesn't feel comfortable throwing them because he gets caught.

Jesus, your takes are really laughable. Your silly ass literally had a cursory read of BoxRec/compubox and thinks he did something

Of course he hit Pulev at will, Pulev is a slow as **** middling heavyweight who struggles against gatekeepers. A little different trying to tee off against guys like Fury/Usyk.

Pulov! they always bring him up... Quality opponent! Elite fighter... Pulov... Lol. In reality? a slow Bulgarian fighter with some power and a few decent scalps if I am charitable.
