    AJ's punch power got exposed again

    Parker, 2x Ruiz, 2x Usyk.. His overrated asf punch power got exposed tonight again. He landed better shots than first fight and Usyk still laughed at his punches. He landed lots of body shots to Usyk's puffy small body and his body only affected in round 9. Then, survived without much problem.

    Kronk style Fury > AJ in punch power.

    I disagree. I thought he hurt Usyk several times in the fight. He wasn't able to sustain it, because Usyk was able to get away and had great defense to prevent Joshua from following up.

      I wouldn't be surprised if Joshua has been lowering his PED usage, his power has gone down drastically.

        AJ is a huge puncher and hurt Usyk in both fights. Unfortunately, if you're AJ that is, Usyk has a remarkable will, a granite chin (see the bomb Gassiev landed on him in round 4 of their fight I think it was for more proof of this) and innate recuperative ability (like Fury in this regard). Does any single AJ punch pack as much as a Wilder right? No. But, the man can legitimately crack with both hands.

          He’s a good puncher but never had big one punch power like Wilder

          A lot of his early stoppages were the ref jumping in as soon as he landed a flurry. He hasn’t stopped anyone in the first 6 rounds for about 5 or 6 years now. He has enough power to hurt fighters and is a good finisher, but it’s not like is knocking out guys with single shots when he lands.

          he can crack though. Fighters wouldn’t wanna be taking ****** risks.

            Most of his stoppages were guys stopped standing. Early UK fights, and even fights with guys like Takam (who Del Boy destroyed) and Wlad.

            He's strong enough to keep you honest for the most part, but he's not a huge power puncher. Wlad was willing to go toe to toe with him, and Wlad has always had a notoriously bad chin. He didn't suddenly develop one at 43

              He didn't have the instincts or reaction to time to jump on him and finish him. Every time Usyk was hurt, he'd reset, putting Joshua back to square one, plodding after him.

                I was at a bar two Mexican guys smash two big bouncers
                And I was afraid..
                One guy was picked up at san Quentin with his gate money
                and
                NF tats everywhere
                pelican bay

                I bought them beers and tequila shots


                The bar was called Mars a few blocks south of a start up I worked at..

                my tio was tearing down a building and I showed up to pick up old bricks

                I w seen boxing first hand and Joshua ain’t got that kill in him

                He is a gentle giant.

                  Jhonny agrees

                    How could he? Usyk never stood still to get hit that often. He was constantly moving. Also, I may add that Joshua is not a one punch KO artist like Deontay Wilder. He throws his punches in bunches and in combinations. He did manage to hurt Oleksander on several occasions however.
