    Usyk has very solid experience with agressive fighters. he will counter punch him all night until TKO

    This would play right into Usyk's hands.

    However, what else can AJ realistically do? He knows he's never going to outbox Usyk, so a bulldozing approach is his only chance I think - at least he's got a chance of catching Usyk with this!

    At this point ; Joshua does not seem to have the most agile feet for the type of aggression needed . He will make an easier target. He will need to master himself to find the right ingredient for Usyk. He ( Usyk) has almost the same weakness as Loma.

    Joshua needs to learn to fight a southpaw.

    Unless "murder mindset" entails learning how not to eat straight lefts, he is will not win.

    Usyk knows AJ hasn't the heart to fight him with fire and aggression. The rematch will look the same like the first fight. The only difference is that Usyk tasted his power and knows what to expect. Usyk KO.

    All the aggression will go out of the window when the chinny bum gets hit in the face.

    I dont see AJ willing to trade blood for victory.

    Agressively attacking Usyk will imply to be countered. If you want to follow this strategy you need the heart to be countered and nevertheless repeat the attack again and again untill you catch him and tear his head off. I repeat that I dont see AJ doing that.

    Because yes, if you recklessly attack Usyk you will be countered for sure. Maybe less than expected if attacking properly. But the counters will be there yes or yes, and they hurt.

    And gas will be consummed a lot faster, and you will suffer a lot when you run out of gas, and it hurts too. AJ is not a sufferer, what the ****.

    You can critizise wilder as much as you want to, but his will for vitory and his capacity for suffering in the ring is 100000x joshua's. AJ is not a fighter, he has not that heart. Whether this plan will not be his gameplan, or the gameplan will change the very moment he starts being countered or running out of gas.

    This. Joshua is gunshy now, so despite all his talk and bluster, he will likely be caught in two minds as to whether or not to try and bulldoze Usyk for fear of getting caught and hurt. What's Joshua going to do, try to walk Usyk down behind a high guard and look for a right uppercut?

    I like the type of mind game that Usyk is playing against AJ.

    Basically tell AJ that no matter what gameplan he has, he is ready for it. That's how to put doubt in AJ's mind.

    AJ doesn't have a great gas tank, so he can be aggressive if he wants to, but he's going to start gassing in the middle rounds. If he doesn't get Usyk out of their by rounds 6-8, he is going to get punished and get stopped late.

    If AJ comes in too aggressive and get caught, he's going to get stopped. Usyk can hurt him and once AJ gets hurt, he's going to revert back to old AJ and retreat.

    I just hope the Wilder vs Fury trilogy will set a new precedent in heavyweight boxing. It's time for fighters to go out on their shields. I wanna see more refs standing over fighters with their arms spread out like they are about to take flight.
    Usyk and AJ need to try to knock each other out in the rematch if they want my money. I w I'll pick up DAZN for this but if nobody hits the deck....

    Joshua is a manufactured fighter after being gifted a Olympic medal, Hearn saw £ signs set up a tough test fighting Martin(cough) which made him a Matchroom cashcow ...but Usyk don't follow Eddies rules...

    The thing is I think that's actually what he tried in the first fight. I thought he tried the outboxing method but when I watched some highlights he actually was moving forwards. He just had no answer for cutting off the ring and seemed stuck in the middle of the ring as a result.

    The one method he could try is coming forwards with elbows and limbs flying everywhere to try and tire out Usyk by getting tied up on the ropes. A bit like Whyte vs Parker. Problem is the needs a solid chin and durability, both of which are question marks for AJ.
