Comments Thread For: Joshua Gets A Second Crack At Solving The Usyk Puzzle

[Roj]

Joshua did not get demolished in the first fight. If he fights bigger, establishes his jab and dictates terms of the fight he can win almost as easily as he won Ruiz pt 2. He just has to lean into his advantages and punish usyk for his disadvantages. The tape is out there. Joshua can see where he was successful. I don’t think it will be a walk in the park, but Joshua has a clear path to victory.

Exactly right - well said.

Joshua will steamroll Usyk - I said it before and say it again: It will be a modern-day version of Louis-Schmelling 2, though it will go a few more rounds than that fight did.

This could be a career defining fight for aj specially if he takes another L

AJ is not solving the Usyk puzzle to win on points unless Hearn has some magic deal.

Joshua can and should win the rematch if he avoids the mistake he did in the first match and plays to his strength rather than trying to outsmart and outpoint Usyk. He needs to maul and bully Usyk and knock him out because he has the physical attributes to do that.

Usyk's weight addition which I understand is 15 kilos or 33 pounds of muscle should help him in the short run, but maybe not so much if the fight goes to later rounds. It depends on whether or not he tires more easily, as extra weight never helps the cardiovascular fitness of anyone.

Specifically lean muscle it burns first .

When A.J wins there will be numerous excuses for posters who’ll need them .

Weight gain.

The War

The ring size

And I’m usually right so far when he does win but those will be top 3 .

Lmao. The usyk puzzle eh. That dude Bredis arguably beat him as did chisora. I don’t consider beating AJ making u a great fighter. If that was the case Andy ruiz would also be a great fighter

Neither if them beat Usyk. Didn’t come close.
