Rob McCracken

That's a load of bollocks. AJ loves the sport he always dreamed of becoming champ, he didn't just get into this for money.

 

what did he love before he was 18 and not boxing
he was not a boxing fan at that point lmfao
gone look into how and when he started
uysk was brought up on boxing you muppet

 

I don't see a problem with Rob McCracken.... the bloke is a fantastic trainer.

The problem I see is that he has far too many people involved in his camp plus the fact he appears to be caught between styles.

He got to the title by steam rolling people and letting his hands go. Now it's like he's afraid to get hit and tries to be a boxer...

 

Nothing wrong with him, but AJ shouldn't be having to share a trainer. He's the HQ champion ffs, his trainer should be giving him ALL of his attention.

 

Sure. Because he is worldwide known as certified ATG in over the hill uncles beting, sorry for reality sense here.

He was not able to finish short notice euro level Takam, previously concussed and battered by then not enough old Povetkin.
He was not able to finish short notice replacement in Panda Andy.
He was not able to finish Parker and fought vs Parker in his own backyard.
His resume is geriatric and if opponent is not at least 35 y.o he does not look cool here, sorry again.

Why such accusations? A.J boxed very well vs Ruiz Jr in rematch and had looked seriously improved version here.
A.J also was capable to finish enough old for him opponents.

A.J is elite boxer but Usyk just is better ( despite older than A.J and over the hill and with long mileage under belt ) elite level boxer and sorry, appeared was not enough___________OLD.
That's all here.

 

Absolutely correct, AJ is caught between styles. When he's throwing heavy combinations he's at his best but he gasses out and can get hit with big counters. He's uncomfortable and can lose in a drawn out gun fight so it's a limited style for him.

He looks good when he boxes and moves but there's two boxers in the division who do it better so again it's a limited style for him to use.

Ideally he should use a bit of both styles but he's yet to master it so we'll wait and see.

 

He was well annoying on saturday "Brilliant AJ" every time he tapped a jab on gloves. Reminded me of Bellew when Jazza Dickens is fighting

 

To me, the Klitschko win changed everything. In that fight he proved he had balls, could get up off the floor, bite down on the gumshield and grind out a win. In doing that, however, I think he went to a place mentally and physically that I don't think he's prepared to go to again. The pain and tiredness he went through to get that W, the hunger that drove it just doesn't seem to be there.
You may laugh but I think he really has to go away and ask himself if he wants to do this anymore. regardless of what some people will say on here, AJ can say things about himself very few can. Olympic Gold medallist, 2x Unified Heavyweight Champ, reignited British and heavyweight boxing in Britain to levels of popularity not seen in years. If he decides he still has the hunger then he needs to do a Rocky 3/4, go away and get a new team and get the hunger and desire back.

AJ can beat Usyk. If he does is another story, but an aggressive AJ on the front foot, pushing Usyk back, roughing him up, and showing him what being in the ring with a true Heavy-hitting Heavyweight feels like could do it.

 

A.J might box pretty well for cards.
While Usyk usually is assumed in west like " he is just some EE boxer and therefore if our boxer can't beat, our boxer is not elite level, cos EE boxer can't be elite per se, they should be used as opponents ( It is causal business flowchart btw ) etc casual flowchart ).
Usyk's amateur experience is immersive and there is no place to talk: am doesn't matters anything. Especially in jabbing.
Usyk had fought vs lad who was 2X World Championship Gold medalist, 1X World Cup Gold medalist, 1X Euro Continental Gold medalist ( there U.K , Irl boxers are allowed ).
Next pleasure was Russo: 2X World Championship Gold medalist, 2X Olympic Silver medalist.
Add to this Beterbiev, Tervel Pulev.
Mammadov is 6ft 5 in and Olympic Bronze, World 1X Silver and 1X Bronze medalist, bunch with other medals.
These are just small part from boxers he had in am ranks.

Yeah, Usyk was better and there it is.

 

Like vs 39 y.o Pulev where ha had gassed after 3 rounds long attempt to KO uncle Pulev?
Like vs Ruiz Jr in their 1 st fight?

Go and KO Usyk, for sure. To prove that boxer's PASSPORT, PROMOTER are ONLY MAIN THINGS IN MODERN PRO BOXING NOTHING ELSE.

 

I can't even begin to decipher this nonsense

 

It is easy letting your hands go winning the title against Charles Martin then defending against Breazeale and Molina types - zero threat fights.

Once Wlad exposed him, he had to adapt as the better fighters will land and he has low punch resistance. Letting his hands go against Parker and Takam made very little impact on either then Baby Blobby bounced off the canvas and destroyed him. Pudding Pulev was destroyed in 2014 and it is a farce that he gets a shot 6 years later when a shot pudding. Again zero threat against a man that cannot take a punch.

Joshua's limitations were there to see in round 2 v Dullian Shyte.

Moving forward facing elite fighters, it is only going to end in tears for him.

Yes he may get lucky and land a huge bomb but it is more likely that he will leave himself open and take one himself ending up like Bellew.

 

Apparently it was some hanger on. It sounded like Tunde was in the corner

 

I had that same Kronk thought after the fight, possibly because of the transformation that Fury went through after he switched trainers. Although Usyk is far more capable of dealing with that style than Wilder proved.

Yes it seemed overly complicated to say the least. I think it was Andre Rozier (who may be the best I've heard at instructions in between rounds) who said he only ever tried to get a maximum of 3 simple points across to a fighter on the stool. Rob was reeling off a series of adjustments and it didn't appear likely to me that AJ was capable of making those levels of adjustment.

 

For a person you don't like,you sure know alot about him. Usyk dominated Joshua no doubt. I give him nothing but respect. Shame you haven't got the class of Usyk, no need for name calling is there.
