    So many knockdowns, so few losses.

      I am really looking forward to how Anthony Joshua fights and Robert Garcia instructions in this fight!! I think that Usyk vs Joshua 2 will be a really great fight!!!

        This is something Usyk will have to watch out for. Especially if Usyk is going to go in there looking to stop AJ like some are predicting.

          AJ is scared to open himself up to go down to the body. Although its doable but I don't believe AJ wlll make it.

            Those body shots were in the amateurs though, he seems to take them better as a pro, or just doesn't get hit with them as often.

            If AJ can get up close and push Usyk back to the ropes he should unload on the body. But if he tries throwing body shots from the outside in the middle of the ring he'll get countered every time.

              As stated, massive assault on his core, shoulder, midsection, hips, chest, and kidneys in clinches for 1st 6 rounds. He's a southpaw but he fights shoulders square vs side angles Andrade, it's all in his legs like Lomachecko. His wheels have to go. I'm no fan of Garcia but Mikey was really good at moving fighters to corners, cutting exits, and letting quick combos go. The fight is more than winnable if AJ has found his pre-Ruiz self.

                  Why don't you like Garcia? He's one of the few genuine likeable trainers who just happens to be the current best trainer in the sport today. Robert is Hella down to earth Nothing to dislike about him to be honest.

                    That Glowacki thing is reaching...big time. Haha. He barely touched him. Usyk was tripped up. And Beterbiev is a lesser man? Hahahaha. Usyk has been hurt to the body but you know what he hasn't been as a pro? Knocked down or knocked out or TKO'd. Joshua has been clearly hurt, knocked down and stopped as a pro, not to count being obviously hurt several times by Wlad and buffet warrior Ruiz and Dillian Whyte and by another guy...what's name? The natural, not-devastating puncher cruiserweight? I believe it's Usyk. There's no comparison here.

                      This body shot thing comes up often.

                      I think he certainly had a weakness there. Maybe still does. AJ had him thinking twice a few times with the lead straight right to the body too.

                      But he hasn't been knocked down by a body shot for 11 years. Not at all as a pro.

                      Work the body, then move upstairs after is probably the move to make.

                      Dude is slippery af though.
