    Joshua like Spence, can’t avoid a jab

    Is this a Derrick James thing or has Joshua always had this issue? Either way, James sure isn’t teaching this guy how to parry a jab because his right hand doesn’t move an inch when a jab is shot to his face.

    Watched a bit of Joshua vs Klitscko and he’s parrying. So It seems Derrick James really is a bum trainer. I overrated the guy.

      When AJ said he couldn’t find the right hand, James angrily replied, “well keep trying then.”

      It wasn’t the best corner advice I’ve seen.

          I liked the Joshua vs Usyk 2 far better than how he is looking now with Derrick James. He should have continued with that style, work on stamina and let his hands go.
          There he showed level changes, head movement, faints and more output.

          I didn't like how he got caught with those jabs and also was thinking about Spence when I saw it.
          And doesn't James believe in faints??? Spence also wasn't fainting at all.

          I turned it off after he went into the crowd and started bumping fists with everyone.
          He really does act strange after a fight, why would you do that?? It shows that he STILL is very concernd about what people think of him, no matter what he says.

          That he's hanging with that degenerate, attention wh*re McGregor is bad enough but everybody knows the guy is a heavy drug addict, both recreational and peds and you still have to pass a post-fight test...so drinking that gross liquor from his glass was one of the most idiotic things I've ever seen around a boxing match.

              are we saying jermell is more a product of lara and ronnie shields? basically james just brought up the power which was already there. most people say his boxing has definitely fallen given how much he loads up now.

                Helenius went after Joshua in the opening bell, but after that he didn't throw much, and he still busted Joshua's face up with a few jabs.

                  Well, James has him back winning so there's that.

                  But maybe Joshua should have just called Norman Stone.








                  He's still training, apparently.

                    Spence losing to Crawford doesn't mean he can't avoid a jab. He didn't avoid Crawford's. What other fight did Spence have problems with jabs? I haven't seen any.
