AJ loves fighting old small men. Takam Pulev Povetkin Usyk He's a bully who will fold in the mere presence of The Gypsy King. His time is nearly up.
He needs to be light to be quick enough to catch Usyk, funny how he`s slimming down while Usyk is bulking up though.
It's insufferable that Joshua fans think he stands a chance against Tyson Fury(LOL) Joshua got destroyed by Ruiz, imagine if Ruiz had an iron chin, was 6'9, had head movement like Muhammad Ali, foot speed like Pernell Whitaker, and mastered the Kronk Style, with punching power capable of leveling a building That's what Tyson Fury is. Joshua stands 0 chance. He can't win. He can't KO Fury under any circumstances
bad decision for aj, his only chance to win is roughing him up being the bigger man. Oh wait the judges will just gift him the win if it makes 12 rounds but i don't think usyk is coming to play pitter patter i think hes gonna do to aj what ward did to kovalev and what fury did to wilder. Hes gonna come foward and bang hope he ends aj the body builder.
I'm in agreement with all that except I've not seen consistent punching power from Fury and he will need it as his youthful speed declines.
AJ doesn't have the skills to test Fury's power. This is where his lack of endurance and footwork will play critical factors. Heavyweight lacks high level swarmers, which is what I think would cause Fury issues. Basically a 6'5 Mike Tyson or Frazier.
Usyk can't move himself very well since he bulked up to 230... did u see his fight against Chisora he was so slow
Sorry my Fury worshipping took over, it's a habit I've formed after seeing everyone in this forum do it
He doesn't necessarily need to outbox Usyk even if it goes to the cards, it just needs to look close. It's the way of the boxing world - if a round is close, the champion and/or cashcow gets given it on at least 2/3 cards. On that score, AJ just needs to be competitive (including not gassing and losing the late rounds clearly) to squeak through on the cards... And if a KO opportunity comes, he's far more likely to knock Usyk out than vice versa.
AJ losing weight for this bout is bad news for Usyk, it means the3 bodybuilder has taken him serously and has taken steps to plug his leaky gas tank. If AJ had come in 255 then I'd be much more certain of an Usyk win.
He looks very slim in the running clip he posted on insta. He might come in the lightest of his career. This content is protected
