i just hope he can add some new wrinkles to his game

If he knew how to cut the ring off like Spence he woulda made easy work of Usyk. None of these heavyweights(besides Jared Anderson) have the ability to cut off the ring aka ring generalship. I guess being big guys they to used to guys just standing their ground and going toes.

It's why I think Usyk would give Fury fits too. Fury has great uppet body movement for a guy his size, but hos footwork leaves a lot to be desired and if you have bad footwork Usyk will eat you up over time.

Black Terminator is my guy but he's 33. I think the time to adding wrinkles has passed. I think he can be champ again too but I don't know where to start.

I’ve seen so many tweeets and IG post the past year sayin “DEAL FINALIZED” that I stopped paying attention lol. Same shyt with Spence and Crawford.

Ties in with 12 rnd endurance/output.

Joshua shot his shot in rnd 8, preserved as much as he could until then.

Usyk had a whole other two gears he could go to in Rnds 8-12.

Not much you can do about that.

Usyk has a mean second gear only a few fighters have overall

AJ chances of beating USYK was in first half of the fight, go for the kill, pure onslaught and not let him off, obviously in theory lol

When you consider it's at heavyweight, it's all the more impressive. 350 amateur fights will do that.

These sorts of pedigrees refine not just skills and technique, but an innate, almost sub conscious understanding of punch output, energy expenditure, round to round endurance. They finish stronger than they started.

Spence got it, Crawford got it, Lomachenko got it. Mayweather had it. Im sure there's others I've forgotten.
