8/20 DAZN: Oleksandr Usyk vs Anthony Joshua 2 (WBA/WBO/IBF Heavyweight Titles)

[reservoirdogs]

Was rewatching the first fight, I don't want to be an advocate for bad footwork but I think AJ needs to sit on his punches more in the rematch, was hopping around too much in the first fight, I think it took away from his power too. I know that if he stops hopping around he will be at a greater risk of getting stopped himself but it's his only way to win imo so worth the risk.

Can't defeat a great amateur like Usyk by trying to apply an amateur approach, that's like a home-field advantage for Usyk. Rather make it a dog fight. The problem for AJ is he isn't exactly comfortable in dog fights either, his defense falls apart whenever in the pocket, and gets hit with a flush shot. Robert Garcia might just be the right man to improve on this though so I like AJ's choice.

The Usyk performance truly made me understand what people meant when they would call Joshua stiff or robotic.

It was baffling to see Joshua judge distance so poorly, and then throw these sluggish straight right hands that Usyk can slip and counter with ease.

Josh got ate up by the head movement, feints, and footwork. Granted, there aren't many heavyweights who can keep the pace like Usyk, but my god it was like watching someone dangle a ball of yarn in front of a cat all night.
