Friends familiar with boxing know that former indisputable heavyweight triple crown champion Anthony Joshua and Ukrainian technologist Usik will fight a second war in June this year, possibly in Saudi Arabia. It is said that the combined honorarium of the two can reach 120 million US dollars, and both will earn the highest honorarium of their careers.
In fact, people in the industry do not care about the honorarium, they are still most concerned about whether Joshua can get revenge successfully. WBC boxer Tyson Fury's former coach Ben Davidson gave his opinion.
Davidson said: "If you can't control the ring, how can you control the opponent?" Joshua is too obsessed with textbook boxing, and his adaptability to left-handed boxers is obviously not strong. We can look at the match between Usik and Tony Bellu to see how flexible Usik's pace moves.
I think Joshua's mistake was to be keen on confronting Usik on the outside (at a distance), and he didn't know how to stand in the middle of the boxing ring and crush Usik. So he had to control the ring and had to put in more effort than Usik. ”
Davidson continued: "Controlling the ring is the key to Joshua's victory. This way he could force Usik to keep defending and wandering, and Usik would never be able to play the rhythm he wanted anymore. This kind of play will be much easier and safer, and Joshua's punches will be smoother and the density of punches will be more frequent.
"If Joshua could take control of the ring, suppress Usik, let him go around, attack while he was defending, it would be much easier, much safer, and his punches would be cleaner and more frequent. I think Joshua has the ability to win this game as long as he executes the right tactics. ”
Davidson finally expressed hope that Joshua can beat Usik so that the match between Joshua and Tyson Furi can be seen. It can be seen that Davidson still has certain feelings for Furi, at least some of them are obsessed. So did Davidson's words help Joshua? Editors believe that Davidson is just a piece of paper.
Because many people in the industry know that Joshua must attack Usik in the Second World War, and cannot grind points step by step and at a glance, but how easy is this?
As we all know, Joshua's physical strength and jaw resistance are weak ribs, and Joshua has never dared to attack his opponent since he was KO by the little fat Ruiz, because he is afraid of being counterattacked by his opponent. Joshua is the kind of person who shakes when he gets punched. His fragile jaw did make it difficult for him to throw a heavy punch.
In addition, Joshua went out and dared to attack in the face of artillery fire, so could his physical fitness withstand it? How many rounds can he hold out?
Therefore, Joshua's control of the boxing ring is just a kind of paper talk. Talk, you can say, but it's too hard to do. At present, Joshua's chances of defeating Usik in the second battle are no more than 50%. Davidson started out as Fury's coach and was fired after Fury drew with Wilder. His coaching style may not be suitable for Furi. Do you think Joshua can beat Usik? By what means? Welcome to leave a message. 【Text/Fighting Jianghu】
