AJ fought like Wlad. The irony!

[PRINCEKOOL]

I’m a Wlad fan, though he could often be frustrating to watch. The thing is though, u have to imagine Wlad going through what AJ did in the first fight then imagine the immediate rematch. I could imagine Wlad not even throwing a right hand for the first four rounds. Course I could also see him trying to land heavier and more often late like you said.

What I am stating? Wladimir Kiltschko was more efficient and better at fighting a 'Bigman' styled fight and using his attributes against smaller fighters. Joshua seems challenged when using his own attributes, nothing is flowing and you can see him thinking 'Move left, Move back, Throw a punch, Move' etc Joshua got the job done, but I just don't think it was a great performance 'Joshua fought a Olympic styled fight, 'Where he was just hitting the target to score points, Instead of hitting through target'.

Kiltschko from range, would break guys down with his jab alone then slowly bring in the right hand 'It was alarming as to how well Ruiz Junior was unaffected by Joshua's offense'.

I am still backing Joshua to come out on top against all the other heavyweights, and I am aware that Joshua is still in a rebuilding process 'I don't think he is the same fighter, that he was prior to Ruiz Junior'

Some interviews, Paulie Malignaggi & Teddy Atlas kind of hit on afew things here.

Also, please explain to me how Shelly throwing Wilder under the buss and making him look bad protects Wilder and not Wlad.

:lol: You've got to be kidding me ahahahahahahaha

[DreamFighter]

Sorry , but I was under the impression , that’s exactly what AJ did : he showed up to not get ko’d
He’s never fought that way before , one-two clinch or run
And what happened the last time they fought ; he got ko’d
I believe that is his reasoning to fight that way

ok,I mean wlad never fought that way either in a rematch, because he didnt show up to act any way - he ducked his defeats.

apart from with the guy who went blind of course. wlad enjoyed beating on a half blind man.

Dude. You are a dumbass to the point of sadness..You are so ****** that you actually stated even that Wilder ducking Wladimir Klitschko is Finkel protecting Wlad. like how ****** can you get.

Yes, so ******, now explain how he was protecting Wilder by throwing him under the bus.

Y'all are ****ing morons. Wilder called Wlad out. Wlad said Wilder needs more fights. Finkel worked for both men. Finkel repeated Wlad. Finkle is protecting Wilder doe

You morons don't ever have anything to say but "You don't agree, you is ******" like that says anything to me other than you're an insecure little *****.

Are you talking about AJ and Fury fights

[KillaMane26]

I don't see what the issue is.... He did what he had to do.. If he went in their and got knocked out tryna be he-man we woulda just clowned him

[QueensburyRules]

- -If Deyonce thought she'd beat Wlad or AJ, she'd have fought them.

Instead she knocks out TBAs for peanuts.

Manny Steward was very smart guy that understood that the fights he got excited about in the commentator booth were not the ones he needed his fighters to have in order to win. Jab & move, right hand when there's an opening, don't stand and trade, tie up if you're cornered. If you're tall and rangy, that approach will get you wins over just about every brawler in love with his own power. Not always highlight reel KOs, but you don't need to risk going for the KO if you're winning rounds.

So it's no surprise that after getting caught standing and trading in AJ vs. Ruiz 1, AJ hired Manny Steward's ghost to train him for the rematch. When you just need to win, that's what works.
