    Because Usyk was good enough to punish him with counters, while the only way Ngannou was landing is if he got careless.

      It's hard to throw them if you get timed time and again.

        Usyk doesn't throw a lazy slow jab so that he's countered like Ngannou was. Also Usyk is a southpaw and looks to control the lead hand battle so that Joshua is never able to just sit in the pocket and throw too many power shots

          AJ doesn't have the gas tank and also due to cumulative damage he's already taken in the past, his punch resistance is questionable So again coming up against an absolutely elite tier mover with faster hands was too risky. Furthermore, Usyk's ring iq and movement meant AJ couldn't even set that up if he wanted to.

            Francis is not Ursk and AJ is boxing better than he ever has, in his current form he is lot more dangerous than he was 2 yrs ago having 4 fights in a year has served him well especially mentally, he seems a lot less emotional and just sitting down on his punches better today.

              Why don't to try to swat a fly with a sledgehammer? Because you'll miss very badly,and you'll look like an idiot in the process.

                  Usyk is mobile and elusive, Ngannou is not.
