Should Usyk bulk up more muscles for the rematch with Joshua?

Usyk came with his highest weight ever. Visually it was clear that Joshua still had a massive physical advantage in the fight. Usyk however was slick and smart enough to outplay this advantage. He performed over 12 rounds without being that much fatigued in the end, plus he hurt Joshua at some points.

Should he get more weight for the rematch and try to go for a mid-rounds KO maybe?

 

No. Unless its a result from his endurance training. Which I doubt it would be.

Also why does he need to go for a mid round KO? He's a master at going the distance. Going for KO's is playing the Heavyweights at their own game, aka the wrong tactic for Usyk.

 

Why? He completely dominated AJ

 

He looked still okay after 12 rounds, so I guess he has some capacity left to carry more weight without gassing out during the fight.

Joshua will certainly adapt somehow... I don't think Usyk can just repeat his gameplan and get the same result.

 

Why would Usyk bulk up and give up obvious speed and endurance advantages.?? Not to make comparison but look how much quick twitch speed and stamina Wilder lost trying to bulk up for Fury. It simply doesn’t make sense.

 

No, why would he.

It doesn't make sense whatsoever for him to do that, the manner in which he beat him, he made it look easy.

The final round would have seriously put even more demons in AJs mind, the way in which he put him on him, as if to say even after twelve round's I can take it up another gear...

 

NO

ABSOLUTELY NOT. Extra weight would just slow him down

Usyk at 220 has enough power to stop him. We saw that in the first fight. Hell cruiserweight Usyk can get it done. Joshua has a wafer chin

 

Why does he need bulk? It's not like he is lacking power.
The first straight left that landed in Rd1 had Joshua in trouble.

 

No. He's at a perfect weight at around 220.

 

No.

What is it with these guys thinking giant muscles = invincible? Usyk's whole game is based on being elusive and light on his feet.

 

No. He should come in around the same weight, no adjustments needed. AJ on the other hand has to go back to the drawing table, and fine tune a few things if hes going to have any chance at beating Usyk in the rematch.

 

No. he is in top shape at that weight.

many fans were saying that he will be slow, but still he is faster than any other HW right now. 221 pounds and that speed ?

 

No I don't think so. As others have said, Usyk bulking up will play into AJ's hands as it may slow him down. Looking too hard for KO could result in Usyk getting caught with a shot that he otherwise wouldn't have taken.

On top of slowing him down, he might gas out as well - which won't be good in the later rounds.

 

Size = Speed. It's science. Yes. All the pounds he can handle. Look how fast Andy Ruiz's hands are.

 

Usyk doesn't need to change anything really.
He beat AJ all ends up.. It's Joshua who needs to change stuff as he outclassed.
