Is aj shot mentally or can he come back ? Or stick a fork in him he’s done ??? One thing I noticed when aj went to the body usyk really didn’t like it at all !!! Why in gods name why wouldn’t he continue to go body hunting since usyk was moving his head perfectly !!! Aj trying to load up one punch at a time and not throwing wtf ? I think aj should have gone body hunting !!! Time to sack makrekin / he needs kronx aka stacely McKinley as a new trainer and a sports shrink - anyway can he beat usyk in rematch ?
Its easier to get countered when you go to the body. I don’t think AJ is done he is just showing his limitations and I doubt he can take usyk in the rematch. He’s not gonna balloon up like ruiz did
AJ won’t come back from this… this fight did two things.. kill what we thought was the biggest heavyweight fight in years between Aj and Fury and expose AJ for being unimaginative in the ring. A guy with AJ’s size and reach was outfoxed…. or should I say outboxed.
This was Joshua's best takeaway from the bout. High probability is that Usyk improves on the outcome of the first fight, but Joshua would earn a ton of credit if he could find a (legitimate) way to reverse it.
He can't beat Usyk. He struggled with Erislandy Savon in the Olympics and he still hasn't improved at pressuring, targeting the body and cutting off the ring against slick fighters. Usyk is going to stop him. Joshua would be a dumbass to take the rematch
When he lost to Ruiz, I felt like there were a couple pretty simple adjustments he could work on that would give him a good chance to win the rematch. But with Usyk, I’m just not really sure how he’s going to be able to pull it off. He can’t outbox him but if he tries to go all out for the knockout and it doesn’t work, he’s going to get gassed and will probably be knocked out himself. I don’t think he should come in bigger like some have suggested, as he already was quite a bit slower than Usyk. His best chances are a lucky punch landing or a robbery on the cards imo.
Only way I see him winning is by going all in for the KO. Usyk has more to his game. He'd probably do better in the rematch. He's getting more and more used to HW.
