    So…did Joshua look better under Derrick James? Or under Robert Garcia?

    One fight with a trainer is not enough time to develop chemistry in my opinion.

    But if you had to pick one, which trainer has done a better job with him?

      i don't think any fighter is going to look their best after one camp with a new trainer. it was a very sloppy and dirty fight from both guys and i don't think either man was able to get their gameplan going

        Garcia. Hands down. I'll put it to you this way. Despite AJ losing to Usyk, I was was impressed with his performance. I saw a lot of technique and skill in his performance. Last night, he looked one dimensional, relying on a one-two primarily. I didn't see any variety such as body shots when he fought yesterday.

        I think it's obvious that he looked better training with Robert. Had he kicked it in Oxnard, he would have another KO right now, I'm sure.

            Garcia is just way better trainer than this motor mouth attention whore James. Watch him throw more punches in the corner than Yoel Judah. Dude is a drama queen, ass kisser.

            Joshua should have stayed in Oxnard..

              AJ is what he is, the trainer was never the problem.

                Body shots are one area I would have liked to see Joshua continue to improve on instead of abandon. He hurt Usyk to the body in the second fight.

                  - - Didn't know you had it in ya, so cong****.

                  Usyk visibly reduced from those body shots, and like Ali after Foreman, may not ever be the same.

                  May be time for AJ to go back to his original trainer who knows and gets the most out of him.

                    Or he should have stayed with the trainer that was emphasizing those body shots.
