Comments Thread For: Usyk Promoter Brushes Off Bulked-Up Usyk Concerns: His Speed And Power At His Best When He Stays Around 220

You may be right, but that begs the question "why didn't AJ let his bunches go and throw his best shot in the first fight"?

Because even the best fighters can have a bad night. Hence the rematch to correct their mistakes.

Exactly. I am sure that Usyk and Loma were far from the front. Ukraine is one of the most corrupt countries in Eastern Europe so the privileged willen be protected from risky battle fields.

What you’re saying might be right as a whole, but this (that I’ve highlighted) happens in all societies where conscription isn’t in play: the poorest sign up through lack of opportunity, and are much more likely to be at the front as a result of socioeconomic factors.

How do you know that AJ threw his best shots in that fight. AJ didn't let his hands go. We all know that AJ wears his opponents down through accumulation of punches before finishing them off. It's going to be an interesting rematch for sure.

I don't entirely but he did land shots here and there. Usyk had to feel them. I'm not saying AJ threw a wild haymaker because that was never too apparent but he threw heavy punches here and there and some got through as evident by Usyk's face at the end of the fight. I'm just believing that Usyk feels his chin is strong enough to go punch for punch with AJ and if their last fight is anything to go by, it was AJ more hurt more often than Usyk. Now Usyk is going to pack on some muscle/weight to add to his power in hopes of stopping AJ. Usyk already knows AJ's gameplan, so AJ coming at him is not going to be a surprise...

Tons of bullsh_t and showboating from Usyk like Broner while AJ is calm and relaxed. AJ puts an end to this Saturday night.

Keep telling yourself that. Almost every country has some form of corruption involving politics. I'll you this though. When Trump reached out to Zelenskky looking for dirt on *****, Zelenskyy said, nope, we're not helping you. Take that for what you will but there was an "attempt" there and at least they did not go with it.

Are you basing this belief on any actual boxing knowledge or is this just the hopes of fan that would really really be happy if Joshua won/crying in a fetal position if he lost.

Fair enough.

No, somehow Usyk has become this invisible fighter. Remember this commentary about his little t-rex arm buddy?

Honestly I want to like Joshua. But his fans are so ****ing ****** and delusional that it's hard to get on board.

Am I missing something? I don't remember Usyk ever Showboating.... Especially on Broner's level
