McCracken says there`s no drawing board for the rematch with Usyk

I do not agree with your statement.
Especially cos A.J had get into Games from U.K and to do this is hard task.
Especially cos A.J had looked well skilled vs Ruiz in rematch.

I think he is good trainer.

Well, if someone does not knows what stuff is active dynamic high guard when he is some kind of euro continental level am, then there no questions about other dreams.
Like : it will be easy if you will go to the body etc easy to talk nonsense.
It is not easy.
To beat anyone who is even " just " top 10 am u need bunch of variables and good luck too.
Cos this isn't pro boxing, where tickets sellers are fed with bums in long row, even short notice bums in row.
This is a pro boxing, we box with lad our manager and promoter had picked up, we are true athletes, we box with ppl our investors, sponsors and our gyms , managers, promoters had approved.
It is real sport yeah. Yeah.

 

I think that's a bit harsh, McCracken was decent pro and has had success as a trainer to say he knows nothing is an exaggeration. He's a decent trainer just not an elite one.

AJ's lack of head movement has always been an issue, it's a trait in fighters which I personally have never liked you can get away with it to a certain point but once you are up at the truly elite level it will get exposed, much like in Smith vs Canelo, all that height means nothing if the target is stationary.

 

Joshua is the finished article. If Usyk was ever going to beat the bodybuilder it would be through a points win. Ruiz was a different story, if he ever was to beat Joshua is would to catch him early and stop him. Joshua needs a more aggressive approaches in this fight. It worked with Andy, because throwing the kitchen sink at him wouldn't work. Usyk wouldn't take half of the shots that clipped tubby, if Joshua can find a way to land on him. The Kraken is right, he'll need to tweak his tactics to get on the inside. The tools and skill set are there.

 

Mark, you fail to see that AJ just isn’t that good, he’s never been elusive, comparing his head movement to Usyk is pointless, why hasn’t Joshua got a Larry Holmes jab ? Why hasn’t he got Ali’s legs or chin. Your understanding of that fight is mental

 

Rob Mccrappen Is deluded.

 

That loss was avenged in a dominant rematch though.

 

AJ's jab was just pawing jab. Terrible.

 

McCracken sounding more Phil than Rob.

 

If A.J will play windmill game, Usyk might KO him for sure and earlier.
Usyk might use puncher's gloves for his next fight and looks that already had prepared that A.J might bully him and go for early or late stoppage.
Usyk isn't dumb, unlike Andy he always had get more motivated when he had won something.
He won bronze in euro am championship, instead of partying and celebrating, he get into mad mode gym rat lifestyle.
Won bronze in World am Championship, again the same thing happened.
He get result: get Gold medals in Euro continental and World Championships, get Olympic gold medal.
In pros he after had won vs then undefeated in prime shape Glowacki version, he again went into hardworking gym rat mode not partying and relaxing and after this showed up in next fight even with better shape.

He isn't Andy, he is gym rat.
Over the hill without any doubt but he is gym rat not partying and celebrating type of guy.
More than this: looks that the more $ he is getting from fights, the more time and $ he is investing in training camps.

Actually he if not decided turn into a pro, still might had get some good position in some gym chain, get as bare minimum at least 50 k from ad and endorsement deals alone and never fought as a pro. He was proven world class am superstar.

Now he does have even boxing promotion in Ukraine, some event had been before his fight vs Chisora.

 

Coming from Mark "Primrose HIll" Ant i surely must then agree

 

What the **** are you talking about? Andy Ruiz barely landed at all. It was completely one sided. Ruiz has no success what so ever.

Usyk clearly won, but it was not all one sided. AJ won 3-4 rounds.

 

If that is McCrackens genuine opinion then AJ needs to ditch him immediately and seek another trainer.

Can AJ do any worse with another decent trainer, no i don't think he can, a fresh approach might work, as it is 100% certain he will fail again if continuing with same McCracken plan.

If fighters like Wladimir Klitschko, Lennox Lewis and Tyson Fury all garnered more success when they changed trainers, then perhaps AJ might consider doing the same, as i have quoted previously " insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results." which would appear to be McCrackens philosophy.
