Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua: I Don't Know How Good My Conditioning Is; I'll Find Out Saturday

[LAchargers373]

AJ is the top fighter in the HW division because of his drive and training. His lactate threshold is so high no one can match it in the HW division. This has nothing to do with technique or power this science. If we’re honest AJs lactate threshold is the highest is boxing history which means in theory he’s the GOAT.

Don’t care about all the BS pre fight or what some twatwaffle self proclaimed experts think here. I just want a good scrap & may the best man win & I mean the actual winner getting the nod. No early stoppage or crap scorecards… I have had a bad feeling of late that Usyk may need to KO Joshua to get a draw… I hope I’m wrong…

It's going to be a very fast start from AJ. No feeling out rounds. He knows Usyk now and will be more comfortable jumping on him early. He'll hope he can get a headstart on the cards this way. After that it will be up to Usyk to react who will perhaps be a little shaken by the aggression. This may open the fight up a bit and leave Usyk open for a few counters. AJ will have to try to maintain the aggression throughout. I see him trying to walk Usyk down with the earmuffs on and trying to unload combos to disorganize him and keep him thinking. AJ will have to ignore or weather what comes back at him and hit Usyk everywhere, arms chest etc. This will drain the tank but it's his best chance imo. Mind you I fully expect Usyk to handle this but the above approach by AJ but it will be difficult.

I think it is a bit naive to think that Usyk does not expect a more aggressive AJ, who will, mind you, be fighting for his career. Literally. I wonder if Usyk will play a matador with a bull for the 6 rounds to drain him and then pounce on him. I agree that the fight will be very difficult for both of them, on this level it can't be any other way. Logic dictates Usyk by UD or late KO, but boxing is the least logical sport, so there goes that nice theory. I only hope that if AJ wins on points (as unlikely as it is), it would be fair - no Canelo judging in Vegas.

He's been gassing his entire career after any sustained effort or when he's put under constant pressure. That's why he's boxed mostly slow old 38-41 yr olds (4of6) he's been carried by Eddie.
No coincidence the last 2 he boxed of his own generation both beat him.

Hair looks fine to me Anthony.

Can't say the same for Usyk lol. What's going on there

And yet still has the strongest record in the division.

To much muscle to be a boxer

I’ve said this from the start. Joshua looks like what people think a boxer in a movie should look like.

Usyk missed most of his punches in the last round

It's funny how people who didn't watch the fight comment on the fight. His accuracy actually increased from 16% in round 1 to 42% in round 12. You are such a muppet. You can be technically accurate, yet misleading. Yes, actually, most of a fighter's punches are usually missed, unless this is a mismatch. Most means 51 out of 100 punches. And yet even then wrt power punches MOST of Usyk's punches actually landed.

It's the delusion before the end. A lot of the hearniacs are just saying anything now. REDEEMER with more ridiculous takes than ever and Toffee preaching like southern baptist minister

He threw 68 punches but only landed 29 ,most probably counted with the final flurry but instant replay shows Usyk misses a good 80% of the shots thrown before the final bell and that’s the round I’m discussing not the fight .

The fact Usyk threw more power punches in round 12 should be very concerning to those picking him to win this one ,that was the round A.J was at his weakest.
