Garcia will teach AJ how to KO Usyk

How?

 

I think he’ll try to be more physical this fight. Roughhouse, clinch and try to get some uppercuts off on the inside. My guess is he’ll come in around 250. Don’t think he has the attributes to pull this game plan off but he could have a bit more success.

 

Something doesn't add up? AJ has earned around $200 million in his professional career and the guy can't hire an elite trainer when he can more than comfortably afford to hire the best?

 

Usyk will weather the early storm and AJ will gas by round 4 allowing Usyk to take over.

 

Keep on dreaming son.

 

Exactly. You can't outbox the better boxer. How many times does this need to be proven before everyone understands this.

 

You mean he can teach AJ some dirty tactic that only Fury would use ?

AJ can use some dirty tactics but what makes you think that Usyk is just gonna stand there and take the beating ?

He can move for 5 rounds just to make him tired like he did with Bellew.

I don't think we have any other HW with experience and IQ like Usyk.

AJ only chance is by lucky power punch

 

Doesnt Garcia have trouble with southpaws? Like Mikey against Sandor Martin where they had no answers.

 

I'm not sure his best chance is to pressure and KO Usyk, really. Maybe he pulls it off. But Usyk can counter more, obviously.

I think the best chance is to do a few rounds better than last time and get the robbery. So do better defensively, mainly and let the magical A-side system do its corrupt magic. He can't technically win doing that but he can win officially. And that's what they were banking on the first fight, but he just couldn't quite do enough, like Canelo recently.

But what's easier, winning a few more rounds (or having a few more close rounds), or chasing and stopping a guy who has never been KO'd, even by big punchers?

 

If AJ comes out swinging he will be gasping for air by the end of the 3rd from missing.

I don’t see how AJ can win

 

Has to put it on Usyk this time. Lean on him, Uppercuts on the inside out of the clinch - be nasty basicaly
.
Dig to the body regularly and then try and pick the moment go for the kill.
In the mid rounds Usyk felt some of the body work AJ was landing - He needs to go more of than from the go. Steady work rate without gassing and then see what happens. If he slows Usyk down earlier then there is some hope he can impose his size and power.

Usyk will probably try more of the same accentuated movement fast, short combos...So it's on AJ to find the solution but his weaknesses - are Usyk's strengths.

Timing, accuracy and some devil are going to be AJ's best hope of winning the fight and it has to be a fight not a boxing match.

 

Probably is working on a more aggressive game plan. It's probably already looking a million dollars in sparring.

But AJ's issues are two-fold: The first traces all the way back to when Wlad's right hand booked him in for an ongoing course of psychotherapy. Prior to that battlefield nuclear bomb's detonation, Joshua was unconcerned with what was coming back from any of his opponents. Now he's preoccupied by this in every fight - even vs Pulev FFS. It's made him cautious under the lights.

That's a wrinkle which can't be ironed out in training because it's only evident on fight night.

His second issue is Uysk and trying to deploy a more aggressive approach against a fighter who has the footwork and timing to punish ill-judged attacks; and the power to hurt him as evidenced in the first fight. And they will be ill-judged because of issue no1.

But a new trainer's gonna give him new confidence, right? Well, he flipped when some kids shouted 'glass jaw' at him. Rather than laugh it off he went all gangsta overlord on them. Is that the action of a self-confident man? Not in my eyes...

Wonder what excuses you will come up with when AJ knocks Usyk out in the rematch?
