How will Usyk approach AJ?

I think he might approach him the same as he did Joyce all those years ago in the WSB. Risky, but he handled Joyces punches well enough (only just watched this today).

 

As your name implies casually feels him out first then turns it on if he can

 

Think he will feel him out from 1-6 then turn it up in the later rounds.

 

Slow start, download info, increase attack later (LOL) it's funny how predictable he is

 

Usyk isn't Loma, he doesn't download matrix programs.
Usyk might have different game plans and looks that always had damn seriously prepared for next opponent. His team and I suspect he too for sure always had watched all ( pro, am ) his opponents fights and had lurked in their flaws, pros and coins in depth.

Anyway, I think A.J for him will be too much. Unless A.J will not appear that does packs glass or is bummy he will win vs Usyk.
For Usyk anyway not bad outcome : fight purse he still will get.
Usyk also isn't prime Usyk and looks that this might be easily to see in Witherspoon fight.
I suspect that if fight vas Okolie vs Usyk, I had placed betting on Okolie to win. Usyk looks over the hill.

 

I think he will be strong and try to pressure AJ, using footwork and angles.


AJ is looking ligher than usual - he will be weaker than before and he will try to box Usyk, which is suicide for somebody like him.

His stamina may improve for couple of rounds, but chin ? No way.

 

I am telling you guys, he will outbox him in the first 6 rounds and then walk and break him down and stop joshua late 10th or 11th round. Joshua will punch air the whole night and lose his breath and her desperate and then getting tagged and countered by usyk till usyk kos him

 

Would be brilliant. I’ve said a few times now that the ‘throwback fighter’ branding with Joshua is interesting. It translates as ‘a fighter who fights anyone but will lose a few’ - they know Usyk is a genuine threat.

 

In theory it should be a game of conditioning, but Usyk has put too much mass on since his CW days that he can't apply the desired pressure to make AJ wilt.

Usyk must smother AJ, make him miss to the point where it becomes disheartening for AJ, pick his shots and hope AJ fades late.

This will be a chess match, but AJ will clip him. Usyk always gets clipped, just depends on how well he takes a shot.

 

He's still a way bigger guy than usyk

 

And ? he is same size as Joyce and Modugno, who Usyk TKO in the second round. Size don't mean anything when it comes to Usyk.

 

He's not those guys didn't he beat both

 

You talked about size, nothing more.

And no, AJ is not those guys, he is better, but size don't mean anything alone, it's combination of skill, size and weight.

 

Good big man always beats a good small man
