Just because he always comes in around this weight does not mean he has not been heavy and muscle bound for all his fights. Everybody knows more muscles = more energy and oxygen demands, if stamina was an issue his last fight, those 4 extra pounds which is alot at top lvl preformance is going to be huge, you will see in about an hr, he will be slower and will tire faster this fight.

Did he tire faster? Honest assessment please.

I did not subscribe to Dazn to watch the fight, but did watch the highlights and round 10. Jousha was really tired in those championship rounds. But here are some numbers you can assess what it means im sure. In AJ Usyk one, Aj threw 641 punches at 240lbs. Usyk AJ 2, Aj threw 529 punches more then 100 punches less at 245. So he chose to conserve his energy to prevent himself from gassing out like he did at the first and got out volumed by usyk who is 220 by about 200 punches. Its very easy to see that Jousha has way too much mass for a specific sport like boxing. I mean what do you need it for if a 25 lighter pound guy thats 35 whoops you.

He did not knock him out like I thought he would, Jousha did better at conserving his energy at 245 but also was less active thats the reason, if he tried to push himself like in the first fight he wouldve gotten tired faster at a higher weight possibly stopped.

Having watched both fights, Joshua did better in the second. He bossed the ninth but was taken aback by a resurgent Usyk in the 10th and never found a way back from that. Overall I would say he carried the weight just fine -- the pace of the fight was above average for a HW contest and Joshua never looked like he was going to get stopped. He was doing a lot of movement changing levels in the first half of the fight. Naturally that went after he threw bombs at Usyk in the 9th and Usyl bashed him around in the 10th, but his conditioning was good and he never looked gassed from carrying too much weight as such; fighting that kind of fight with a jackrabbit opponent like Usyk inevitably takes a toll.
