      Change in training, change in body composition = change in what you can accomplish. Canelo showed that in Golovkin II, being smaller and having better stamina. Ariza with Khan, Maidana, Pacquiao, Mikey were entirely different beasts.

      Roach & Fortuna know how to train a high workrate fighter, and would’ve given him a better chance tactically, as Roach is much more of an “attack” trainer than Garcia. If he got Ariza I’d have picked him to beat Usyk. I’m actually kind of surprised Joshua didn’t get stopped.

          Exactly

          Garcia is arguably the best trainer today if he can't help Joshua no one can't.

            I don't know about Garcia being bad apart from saying he was up in the first 3 lol, switched it up body and head often but didn't alter rhythm or mix up enough and Usyk wised up to it, leant down after each body blow and avoided the punches aimed at his head.

            Commentators on sky have to be some of the worst too getting a rock on when Joshua was hitting arms at one point lmao

              I said it before the fight = Garcia was being flown in for a check.

              Joshua took less risks and got the moral victory of going 12, but this is why Usyk is the man now and Joshua is not.

                He was doing ok first 4-5 rounds. But then he went back to same style as in first fight and Usyk just picked him apart

                  He was given a decent game plan and advice and he was doing the right things in moments

                  but sometimes it’s just a gap in levels and you can’t bridge it and it is what it is.

                  People saying Joshua should’ve put it on him
                  more - it’s easier said than done. he tried that round nine and was spent and Usyk had his biggest round the next round. that would’ve just happened earlier.

                  You can’t really knock guy or his trainers. They did the best they could. that level is just a bit out of reach for him. No shame in it. That’s life.

                    I heard Garcia calling for certain combo's and jabs, AJ just doesn't listen.

                      He did do better, the body work was good. I had him up 3-0 and then gave him the 8th and 9th. That's a round better than the first fight.
