    He should of threw more of these. He would of obliterated Usyk if he landed clean on him. He threw combos against Pulev but not Usyk

    Usyk wouldn't hold still like a bag

    Plus Usyk hits back and consistently lands may have a little to do with it too....

    AJ can't trade because he's a chinny bodybuilder

    Every boxing fan on the planet Should know the answer to this question

    This is the kind of thing you learn in boxing kindergarten :facepalm:

    ''And Joshua has admitted he cannot enter the rematch using an overly-aggressive approach otherwise he will come unstuck for a second time. “We might have to box, that’s what he (Garcia) said," Joshua revealed during an interview with JD in a teaser of their upcoming ‘Road to Redemption’ video. “It depends what Usyk brings as well. “It’s like trying to swat a fly. You know, because I’m the bigger man, I’m gonna’ go in there and just swat this fly and it is going to die.

    "But you know how difficult it is to swat a fly because it moves around a lot and how energy-draining that is. I can’t just now come in and start boxing like Mike Tyson - it’s just not me - I have got to be the best me.''

    Yes it was like trying to swat a fly. That's what happens when you're facing a much smaller, faster and more skillful boxer - it's hard to land as consistently with your power shots like you do against big lumbering giants.

    I can't even imagine AJ positioning himself that way to Usyk, so to land such a hook. What kind of topic is this anyway? The reason for not landing it is the same he barely landed anything - not mainly because Usyk is more technical, but it's because combined with that, he's also way faster.

    Remember AJ's greatest moment of success came when he had to push Usyk's head down and go Hammerfist Henry on his ass. He also landed a nice cheap shot to Usyk's lower back at one point too as Usyk was turned away

    The guy is dummy but not til the point to expose his C+ rated chin to a massive counter blow by a fighter with a A+ IQ ring like Usyk.

    Well he had 72 minutes in the ring to land on him and mostly caught fresh air. The sweet science won.
