Why didn't Joshua ever throw those huge right hand bombs against Usyk like he did Ngannou?

[takenotes]

I always felt AJ should have just went all out but he gasses quick

[pollywog]

That is the only way he can beat him. He has to throw caution to the wind and let those bombs go. Even if he is reserved he will still gas out before USyk. Go all out attack for 3 rounds and just empty the tank. If he doesn’t prevail just punch Usyk in the nuts and buy an extra 4 minutes and a point reduction it will be worth it. If he has made no inroads in the first 4 rounds then he is on his own I can’t advise him further.

Are you saying AJ only has a punchers chance against Usyk ?

[MusoMeanderings]

Why you asking ****** questions ???
If you don’t know why , well then maybe boxing is not for you
Simple non toxic self efficient

Nothing wrong with trying to learn. And learning is asking questions.

Pertaining to the original question: everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth. Maybe AJ wanted to throw it, but quickly got punched hard several times and abandoned that idea.

We need to vet out people who are allowed to post here. Been needing this ever since I joined.

What makes you think that you won't be the first one to go?

Have you seen his posts before ???
If he needs to ask that question better he goes to watch badminton lol
Anyway your explanation is spot on
Usyk countered him at every turn
That’s when you start debating with yourself if you should throw and be countered
Obviously the latter is where he decided not to

I’m simply saying Aj’s strength is his power it’s pointless conditioning his body to match Usyk endurance because he will fail every time. If Usyk gets to 12 rounds he beats any fighter in my opinion.
I have witnessed AJ fighting a conservative fight against him on 2 occasions and I’ve watched a fat 6ft 9 giant mainly fight on the back foot and nearly get knocked out. The only way to beat Usyk is to hurt him otherwise he is all over you like a rash.
Yes Joshua has to go out to knock him out and risk being knocked out himself. Otherwise rounds 7 and above he will just be in survival mode getting pounded with combinations to no reply and when you have already been beat by the same man twice your mind is pretty accepting to the blows

AJ doesnt throw caution to the wind, if you seen him he fought scared vs Usyk and he fought scared with Ruiz after getting dropped the first time. Francis is 270 pounds and slow, a sitting target, he can unload on without getting countered.

[Noelanthony]

Cos Usyk woulda slipped them and countered Joshua to the canvas like Ruiz did.

Usyk countered Joshua and beat josh to the punch all night. To be honest I’ve never seen a heavyweight get hit to the face as many times as Joshua was hit by Usyk. As good as Usyk is he is not flooring Joshua and Joshua’s chin is mediocre at best

yes, Usyk does everything better than AJ except power.
