Comments Thread For: Still waters run deep? Anthony Joshua credits preparation for serene state

[JeBron Lamez]

AJ is so relaxed because he has no clue what's about to explode on his chin (no Diddy). This ain't some spinner that you can just pound their lips into roast beef, like Amir Khan's wife. This is Daniel DuBois and he's not playing them kinda games with you. He's coming to put your heels up in the air (no DeLaHoya)

Aw man, no need to bring the lovely sister Faryal into it smh lol.

But ddd lost to the other brit joyce, whilst Josh beat dillian.

Anthony Joshua has near psychopathic work ethic, he also has a very analytical and obsessive nature. Joshua has never lost a fight, due to a lacking of effort 'But I have personally question some of his former training philosophies in his career'.

It was clear that for many years, Anthony Joshua was holding back a area of his game 'In order to hyper focus on his skill for skill boxing. Over the long term this period of hyper focusing on his skill for skill boxing game, has made him a more complete fighter. But during those years, I honestly? Believe he ether lost fights due to this training philosophy and approach, or under performed. This was because he had to marginally sacrifice area's of his game, to put a concentrated effort into improving his skill for skill boxing game'.

Anthony Joshua is now at the point in his career, where most likely through experienced 'He is more efficiently has the ability, to combine all area's of his game. And in preparation create a training philosophy which amplifies and maximises all attributes'.

In the sport of body building, you have split routines, full body routines, and then you have people who split the days into 'Upper body or Lower body routines'. But by the conclusion of the week, it is of extreme importance that professional or amateur body builders hit all area's of their physique. With a equal intensity or a optimal balance'.

Joshua for many years, in my opinion 'Which is backed from my observations and investigation. Anthony Joshua was not hitting all area's of his game with equal intensity or a optimal balance. And this was no fault of any boxing coach he has ever worked with, I believe this was down to Joshua himself'.

Note: Since Andy Ruiz Junior I beat Anthony Joshua 'Joshua seemed to be obsessed with becoming a skill for skill boxer. And to a certain point he did vastly improve that area of his game. But I never liked Joshua's conditioning for his rematch vs Ruiz Junior II, whenever Joshua weigh's in at 240 flat and under? His endurance, durability, power, brute strength all decrease markedly'.

Anthony Joshua was only able to win the rematch vs Andy Ruiz Junior II 'Because he improved his skill for skill game. Lets be honest? Joshua won almost all the rounds, easy without getting out of second gear. And that version of Andy Ruiz Junior regardless of what narratives surround him, is most likely one of the best ever versions of Andy Ruiz Junior to ever fight. Do you guys really think, Andy Ruiz Junior since that fight has been in better form? Guys be honest with yourselves, Anthony Joshua fought the two best version's of Andy Ruiz Junior'.

So Joshua for many years, has been training with a attitude and phphilosophy which holds back innate area's of his game 'But when Anthony Joshua was beaten by Oleksandr Uysk in their rematch. I believe that fight, was the impetus for this conclusive stage of Anthony Joshua's career'.

To conclude: During the build up to Jermaine Franklin vs Anthony Joshua 'I saw a interview with Joshua. Were he was talking through his training routine, and nutrition. I noticed that his nutrition had altered, he was eating certain west African cuisines. I knew straight away when I saw this interview, that Joshua was embracing apart of himself which he had been holding back'.

Anthony Joshua weighed in at 255 pounds vs Jermaine Franklin who weighed in at 234 pounds. Franklin was 22 pounds lighter vs Joshua, than he was in his fight vs Dillian Whyte'.

Joshua won 95% of the rounds vs Franklin 'And whenever Franklin tried to amply pressure with his inside game, Joshua just locked him up wrestled him on the inside and pushed him away. That fight was the first time in Anthony Joshua's career, were he fought a big man styled fight. I was impressed with that aspect of his performance. And since that fight? We have all witnessed Joshua gradually combined the two polar opposite's of his boxing game'.

'Anthony Joshua is the only double jeopardy threat in the Heavyweight Division, he is the one of the most component and proven skill for skill pure boxers also? Anthony Joshua is one of the most proven power punchers in the division. No other Heavyweight in the division has that combination of attributes and level of threat at such a high level, Anthony Joshua is the only one'.

'Therefore if Joshua combines and utilizes all of his power, it is over for all of these top level Heavyweights' And that statement goes beyond fighters such Daniel Dubois, it also extends out towards both Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Uysk' etc.
