There is no question Usyk went through a tremendous amount of stress between the Joshua fights. We didn't see the best Usyk for the rematch. I know he would have been sharper if he was stable between the fights. His heart and determination is out of this world though and made up for any factors working against him.

I respectfully disagree. Usyk made adjustments in there because of ajs style this time round. In fight 1 usyks lead hand often drew out Joshua's lead hand a pawing sort of motion range finding with which usyk would counter with his straight left. Then he would use head movement or footwork to move away or out of range.
Joshua this time wasn't taking the lead hand bait and actually didn't react this time instead switching to a level change and attacking usyks body. Stopping usyk using that style from fight 1. However usyk did use more throw away punches this time round to enable shots 3, 4 onwards to connect and counteract joshua setting his feet and landing more to the body. from round 7 onwards once aj started tiring we saw usyk employ the high energy style from fight 1. Aj actually did a good job of nullifying usyks effective style early on he wasn't winning but doing much better than the first time. I still had usyk winning 8 rounds to 4.Last edited by Gideon lock; 08-26-2022, 05:03 AM. -
- - Foreman lost the fight but won the war wif bodyshots vs Ali that seriously damaged him the rest of Ali's career starting wif his next fight vs Wepner.
AJ didn't throw as many as Foreman did, but hits hard enough to do major long term damage as opposed to turning Usyk mug into mincemeat the first fight.Comment

Watch the fight with the sound off, AJ got outschooled twice. Looked like a complete dummy. It is not about the steroids you inject (that is just 'the engine'), it is about the person in the driving seat. Usyk understands the sport better than anyone in the history of the sport.
