Hard to see a comeback from AJ, not impossible though.
When they exchanged Usyk usually got the better of it so I'm not sure how the "beat him up" gameplan will work for AJ but based on the first fight it's still better than trying to outbox Usyk.
One thing he has to do often is to go to the body, on the first fight there were moments when it seemed like Usyk is more vulnerable there.

AJ tore up Usyk's face. The issue imo is AJ wasn't consistent with the attack (maybe due to him lacking the skill + stamina + being shook post Ruiz).
I think Derrick James would be perfect for AJ but his plate is full
that chisora fight did illuminate a possible way of plan/victory for femi....you gotta wear usyk out and you have to do it early..cuz usyk has an ELITE 2nd gear for a fighter...if he feels a fight is getting too close late in the fight, he knows how to turn it up and go all out...against chisora the pressure got to him early to the point where he gassed and he didnt have enough to take out chisora who also gassed...chisora nearly earned a legit draw
Derrick James wanted to train AJ but AJ didn't visit him when he was in the city, he was surprised he didn't.
crazy. IMO if DJ didnt have Spence and Mell on track for Undisputed this year, I think AJ spending a year with DJ would be a Fury + Sugar Hill type change.
AJ getting on some Spence tearing up these dudes bodies, would be crazy. AJ got all the tools to be the truth, but his Mental seems off.

I thought it was a bit wider like Chisora won 3-4 rounds, Usyk didn't dazzle like he usually does thoughthat chisora fight did illuminate a possible way of plan/victory for femi....you gotta wear usyk out and you have to do it early..cuz usyk has an ELITE 2nd gear for a fighter...if he feels a fight is getting too close late in the fight, he knows how to turn it up and go all out...against chisora the pressure got to him early to the point where he gassed and he didnt have enough to take out chisora who also gassed...chisora nearly earned a legit draw

Tore up his face but didn't hurt him with head punches, Usyk wasn't rattled.
Derrick James and Robert Garcia are both fine imo
the fact i can see 5 rounds to chisora - swing rounds and all means it wasnt that wide..usyk didnt look good regardless..completely agree
because AJ wasn't relentless which was my earlier point.
Wow!!
