Comments Thread For: Haye: Usyk Can't Get Hit Like That By Joshua; He Has Work To Do

[Shadoww702]

Im pretty sure Usyk wouldn't walk AJ down like he did Bellew. He would try to outbox Joshua, so it's an entirely different situation and he wouldn't get hit as much.

This is true.

Aj will knock him to coma no way he’s gonna escape the counter punch of Joshua... Wilder in the other hand will knock him out with the right hand

Well he has to get inside first because he's not out boxing AJ from the outside, he could barely land that jab on Bellew.

Exactly. He would fight Joshua a similar way like against Gassiev.

Murat Gassiev is barely 6'1 or so with a 76" reach, Usyk has held physical advantages against every single one of his pro opponents:

First time seeing Usyk fight, from all the hype I was expecting to see something much more impressive from him instead I just saw a decent fighter, nothing special. Bellew was catching him with good shots all night long, fighting him at his own game, I had Bellew up by 2, if only he didnt tire and kept that up for just 4 more rounds he may have pulled this off.

As for Usyk, I guess we will see how he does at heavyweight, after what I saw though he is going to struggle....BAD.

I feel the exact same way. I was expecting to see an elusive technical power puncher but he gets hit Way to much. He should stay at cruiserweight or only fight "specific" heavyweights.

At least someone who know something here. you are right!

Styles make fights
IMHO Ulsyk/AJ will be more like Usyk/Gassiev than Usyk/Bellew and it will be more easy for Gassiev to KO Toto Bellew than was for Usyk to stop Toto

For me Usyk will stop Joshua late 11th or 12th, I see an exhausted AJ tryng to land bigs all the rounds and then be exhausted, from that Usyk will finish him

But I also see Wilder stooping Usyk because Wilder fast & wild when needed and he has a better stamina than AJ

[Roy Keane]

Usyk was right to be cautious after Bellew chinned Haye. He was in total control after the 6th and I had him up a round or 2 when he KO’d Bellew. If he can use his feet and work Ajs body he could potentially stand a chance later in the fight.

Agree with the Hayemaker. Tony was up by 3 rounds on one card ffs. We all thought Usyk would streak ahead but he looked unsure about how to handle Tony and he was quite inaccurate when he threw his hands.

Nah, it took him 2 rounds to figure him out and I'm pretty sure he was doing the same thing Canelo did to Khan - let him win a few because he can afford to.

[Roadblock]

You know how silly this notion is , every single fighter that moved through weight classes got hit and at least buzzed in the lower weight class, then they moved up and got hit by much bigger guys and were just fine, from years of being as light as you can be then move up in weight you get stronger everywhere, resistance and power goes up.

Its a classic example of only seeing whats in front of your face and not what will be after the transformation.

This is a hype job, needs to fight somebody

Unbelievable.....

Usyk walked down Joe Joyce in the WSB pretty much like the Bellew fight. He ain't gonna do it vs AJ. He'd be fighting him in similar fashion to the Gassiev bout. Or a more exciting version of the gypsy king vs wlad fight. Haymaker seems to suggest AJ has similar handspeed and mobility as Tony. He doesn't. 315lb big baby is more agile than AJ. But yes, it only takes one clean punch to go lights out.
