I've just re-watched AJ vs Usyk - Paying close attention, you may think a bit differently....

Excellent points and well put together. McCracken needs to go!

 

Look at the way AJ brings himself down to the size of the smaller man. He needs to fight a big man’s fight.

 

LOL, vs Takam he was 254 lbs vs 235,5 lbs 36 y 10 months old short notice already shot by then not enough old Povetkin version and he won less impressively than Povetkin.
He had started to gas vs 39 y.o Pulev after looked very good during first 3 rounds.

Change trainer, gas tank and brains will be changed too?
He btw must be in physiological and experience prime exactly when he is 25-32 y.o.

 

Go away you biased twat.

 

I can see 8-4, anything closer than that is(As Charles Barkley would say) UNCIVILIZED!

 

Usyk is a basic one two southpaw with lots of movement and stamina......again he throws a lot right jabs followed by left straights with not much sauce behind it...............he is also no defense wizzard and gets hit a lot even against bums.

I could name several fighters form the not so distant past who would have ko'ed Usyk or at least would have giving him a career beating.

Contrary to popular forum nut huggers believe Usyk is very beatable even by current Heavies.

The Bodybuilder is was and never will be as good as he was advertised at, full stop.

He is not a lights out puncher, he has major stamina problems, borderline glass chinned,he chokes whenever somebody comes to win, he has a poor Ring IQ.......but the main thing is that despite his height he does not fight tall, cannot keep one at the end of his jab and has no clue how to interrupt/reset a opponent by strategic clinching........yes its ugly but thats how WK won fights.

One more time, AJ does not fight tall or long, he crouches down, gives all his physical advantages away and wants to hook up close, Usyk never obliged but Ruiz did but had the chin to make him quit.......

BTW, a fighter with AJ's height should fight long and hitting the body up close is a major no no, it gives the smaller fighter easy openings.......

 

It was really easy to score tho. 9-3 at best or 8-4 at worst. Usyk was dominant in this fight

 

This is exactly what I said after AJ lost to Ruiz.
I had little doubt he could make the adjustments and win the rematch.

This time it's different.
I'm not ready to make a prediction yet, but AJ has a much higher mountain to climb this time.

With Ruiz, he was carelessly caught with a couple of big shots and never fully recovered.

With Usyk, AJ was comprehensively outboxed and very nearly stopped.
