Comments Thread For: Wallin on Joshua: Coming In on Short Notice Against a Southpaw, It's Not a Good Idea; I'm Gonna Show Him

Like Big Jugs found out about Zhang.

[Phase III]

AJ is very fragile mentally and still suffering from KO syndrome, so I would bet on Wallin.

This is like Deja Vu reading posts before the first Usyk fight

Maybe, but Wallin is not Usyk.

He didn't come close either time , he did better in the second but was nearly stopped in the first , rd 12 ..ready to go , under big fire and not punching back. Uysk will prove how good he is or isn't in February, if he gets hammered it will give Joshua a real bad look.

In the second fight I thought Joshua won 4 rounds, you could maybe make a case for 5 rounds.

Yes Usyk still won fairly comfortably as Joshuas gas tank wasn't great over the last couple of rounds.

But it wasn't a blow out and although people may laugh, he boxed fairly well against the guy I consider to be the best technical boxer of this era. I do consider taking 4 rounds off Usyk to be fairly good tbh. It's like taking 4 rounds off mayweather.

Relating it to the Wallin fight, Wallin is at best a bargain basement version of Usyk so as long as Joshua comes in at the same level he did in the Usyk rematch I think he should be able to win at least the 6.75 rounds he needs to to get a decision.
