    Too bad you couldn't of trained him, champ. They have been telling him "more aggressive" and what they needed to tell him is "learn to fight a southpaw."

    Anyway, I am a fan of both, but I think Usyk is a man of destiny.

    I'll never forget your fight in '89 with Anders Ecklund. That was my favorite night of Tuesday Night Fights ever. I hoped you were going to get a shot at Tyson after that.

    Good luck to you, sir,

    garcia has trained 34 world champions, many that have trained ONLY under him. i think he knows his business. i agree that he doesnt look sharp at all here. my question would be, when was this video taken? it looks to me like they are working on the mechanics, and not real time punching. i do agree that he is circling in the wrong direction at times, he shouldnt be circling into usyks power hand, but thats because he is training for reaction here, to move as usyk moves to keep him in front of him. when training to control the space, thats when he should proactively turn usyk away from his power hand.
    i wouldnt put too much stock in this video, seems cherry picked, as there are many others where he looks much sharper and closer to fight speed.

    'What is the problem with Anthony?'. No problem, Usyk is just way,way better.

    Well, Garcia will have given it his best shot with the time he's been given. He's getting paid and understands that he can get paid again if things go well. But here's what he really thinks about Joshua;

    “Wilder’s knocks him (Joshua) out cold, bad. Joshua could box for 5 or 6 rounds and that one punch knocks him out.” - Robert Garcia, 2019

    Bizarre choice to hire Garcia seeing as he clearly has no faith in AJ.

    Perhaps Garcia isn't well enough versed in New Thought mumbo jumbo for Anthony's liking.

    AJ can win if he gets hypnotized and absorbs the spirit of Fury

    I watched break downs and many pro fighters repeat one thing, Joshua is the bigger man and has to be agressive, but I think AJ is not durable enough to apply this strategy, on the other side, its still a better strategy that trying to outbox Usyk. I think we gonna see KO this time.
