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

[Bob]

I am still of a opinion, that if? Joshua could win the battle of the jabs, and make his jab the dominant weapon in this fight.

This could really make things easier for him, and completely disrupt Usyk's game plans.

If endurance is a concern for Joshua, being able to sit back and **** out a damaging Jab is going to help him.

Joshua's jab is sometimes very good, but then it can be extremely passive. Shades of David Price.

I watched a interview with Peter Fury the other day. And he stated that body punches, need to be used more by Joshua and I agree.

Joshua was ****ing to the body at times, and Usyk was shook. Jab up top, **** to the body. Over and over again, this is what Joshua needs to do.

Bring the punches up from underneath, instead of playing a points scoring game with Usyk 'And trying to focus on hitting up top'.

Joshua is to used to jabbing slow old 38-41 yr olds, Parker & Ruiz, of course it looked good.
After that matching him with the speed, footwork, movement & iq of a boxer like Usyk your asking for trouble.
It's no coincidence the last 2 he boxed of his own generation both beat him with speed.
Ajs size against Usyk is a disadvantage, on a rewatch i noted how Ajs jab rd 7 onwards turned into a paw just trying to touch Usyk & he's so delusional he said he thought he was boxing like Muhammad Ali xD
Aj did have minor success to the body & when he Garcia bum rushes this weekend he has to club anything he can hit, but this ain't no Ruiz.

I think that I will know a lot more about these two fighters after Saturday night, without a doubt the fight will get a lot of attention and that is good for boxing and hopefully result in a decent fight. I mean it has a lot more angels to it then say the Lopez fight this past weekend, there are dif ideas on how it could turn out......When they say "the challenger" in the other corner they will be speaking the truth...........

Usyk is going to beat his ass again. He might stop Joshua this time.

[Silence]

Usyk will bully him this time. He will be heavier and fight in the pocket. He saw Joshua's pathetic chin in the first fight. There is AJ's little chance to KO Usyk but it won't happen. Usyk knows what he does.

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

lol neither of them arguably beat Usyk. They did better than AJ because they used their size and werent afraid to get hit, that is how you have to fight Usyk, but having some success doent mean you won the fight

AJ just has to not be afraid to get hit by a cruiswerweight and realize hes fighting a guy faster with better footwork and more handspeed but hes the bigger guy with more power and a bit more reach. So he needs to not only throw more body shots but commit to them and take the risk of getting hit with a cruiserweight's counter, he cant fight scared and try to outbox usyk like he did last fight, it will not work. He froze up after Usyk came out with those angles on him. He also cant try to wait out for Usyk to tire because it never happened last fight instead he was mentally drained, he knew he was losing the fight, you could see it in his eyes. LOL at him even trying to say he thought he was winning, that is a lie.

[OldTerry]

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.

[TheUptownKid]

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.

[Jack_sh*t]

I have Usyk by KO by the 10th.
