It has to be aggression, body attacks to slow Fury's lateral and general movement. I don't think he should headhunt until the mid-rounds. When he does go to the head I think he would be successful. It does depend how Fury tries to fight, personally I think the approach he took against Wilder would be suicide v Joshua. Fury offensive punch technique is horrible, it amazes me that certain boxing experts never pick up on this, he doesn't turn his straight right over properly and his hooks are not compact they are winging punches, its arguable how effective this is as it was v Wilder but Pianeta, Wallin ate those with no issue and I would bet anyone that Wallin n Pianeta could not take crisp punches from AJ/Wilder/Pov. AJ being the better counter puncher makes me think that we will see Fury go back to his stick n move style. I would give Fury all the credit if he demolishes Joshua like he did Wilder. I have a feeling AJ will try and box with Fury, which is a bad gameplan that would ultimately see him lose a decision. He isn't a better "boxer" than Fury but he is a much better puncher, better shot selection, better punch delivery. If he doesnt go aggressive against Fury he will lose like WK did but I think its in AJs nature to be naturally agressive, its been his downfall before but dont see much risk v Fury. If he gets outboxed so be it but if he loses like WK did, where he showed no offence and got outclassed then I think it would be more determental than losing after going in to hurt Fury.
If the fight goes the distance no way is AJ winning. Joshua has to put him away early , with the pace AJ will have to set he could last 7 to 8 rounds after that he will be out of steam. Got to put him away early.
I think he's got to pick his punches and just fight in bursts. If he throws wild combinations and gasses out I dont believe Fury would give him the time and space to recover that he had against Wlad and Whyte. For Joshua its got to be about preserving his energy and waiting for an opening. If he tires he's done for.
Joshua wouldn't even be able to compete with the lowest member of the bomb squad, let alone Fury. Wake grandpa Ortiz up from the old age pension home, and you have a prehistoric dinosaur holding all the belts the bodybuilder has!
A better question is, is Fury ready for Povetkin, Whyte, Pulev and half the other heavyweights AJ beat? Yeah? Then why did he avoid all of them and instead fight Eurobums? Another question is, if Fury is as great as a lot of fans are making him out to be, then why did he have to take PEDs? And if he took PEDs then, what makes you think he isn't taking them now? Also if he was so confident that he could beat AJ, then why did he reject the AJ fight (which was for more money and belts) and instead go and fight Wilder for a lot less money? So to answer your question, yes AJ has been and is ready for Fury and I think a lot of fight fans will be shocked at how he dismantles the Nandrolone giant.
Well the last time Fury had a lay off he did enough cocaine to kill a small rhinoceros and binged at the buffet. The real question here isn’t is AJ ready for Fury, the real question here should be how can we get past these threads that repeat on loop and make me want to crash my car into an orphanage?
Frankly i think AJ and his team should just focus upon on AJ, they know Fury is a big ol unit that moves well, he has a competent and in some ways unique skillset and they know he trash talks, those are the definites that Fury brings, if they can find ways of minimising those of Fury then great, however that is no different than facing any other fighter. (albeit rather more challenging) The one area where AJ will 100% need to be in the best form he can be is his gas tank, if that one is lacking to any great degree then by mid rounds any plan would be unworkable anyway, so get that sorted AJ, that is area in my opinion he has to focus upon, everything else is built upon that foundation. As i have posted previously i think he should follow Marcianos advice "I have always adhered to two principles. The first one is to train hard and get in the best possible physical condition. The second is to forget all about the other fellow until you face him in the ring and the bell sounds for the fight." Easier said than done, but a simple philosophy that has some merit, AJ can't change what Fury does, but he can hone and change what he himself does, to be the best prepared AJ that he can.
Throw combos at Fury's head and bank on a serious shot getting through before serious gassing commences or serious counters land. Follow up serious shot with more combos at Fury's head. Hope Fury falls over and can't make a count before engine completely shuts down, Fury recovers and beats the living crap out of you. Big Joshie has a shot!
Fury beats Joshua, but it wont be a easy fight as people you know seem to think. Fury is not as slick as people think I mean for example you need to look at the Wallin fight. Every time wallin mixed his shots up and actually threw a combo he gave fury a nightmare even cut him. Wallin landed like 40% of his punches on fury. AJ fights just like wallin mixes up his shots good combo puncher and he is better overall then wallin does everything better. And that was supposed to be an easy opponent a low level tiered fighter so AJ vs Fury is a 50-50 fight. So the question should also be how will fury deal with AJs fighting style and skill. This fight will end in who has the bigger heart and i think fury wins like that
I'm thinking that Fury will outmaneuver Joshua. AJ needs to be busy. If he waits, he'll just get outboxed all night.
