The current coach of middleweight Gennathy Golovkin, Jonathan Banks, talked about the upcoming battle between Anthony Joshua vs Oreksand Usik this week, and the three-game battle between Tyson Fury vs Deonte Verde next month.
Banks sided with joshua and Fury, who were widely regarded, believing that the two would win their respective victories, but he said that Usik and Wilder also had the possibility of winning. Banks' view is not surprising, because most boxing fans think so too.
Banks pointed out that Joshua, who is 1.98 meters tall and weighs more than 240 pounds, is significantly better than Usik in terms of strength, experience and physical condition, while Usik only participated in two confrontations after rising to the heavyweight class.
For the three battles between Furi and Wilder staged on October 9, Banks believes that Fury has a better coach than Wilder, that is, Javan Hill Stewart. Banks also believes that in the past two confrontations between Fury and Wilder, Fury has the upper hand and showed better boxing skills, so he has a huge advantage, but Banks reminds Fury that Wilder's strength can make up for the lack of technical and physical conditions, and if Fury gets a heavy punch, even if he has a good coach, then there is nothing he can do.

Banks said: "Usik and Joshua are both Olympic gold medalists, neither of them is underrated, Usik has come to a level where he has not achieved a lot of success, and his battle with Derek Chessola has not been so easy. Joshua has an advantage over Usik because he is a standard heavyweight boxer and has dominated for many years, Joshua has a higher knockdown rate, and Usik has not yet knocked down a heavyweight opponent. ”
Banks continued: "Usik is a bit tough, he will cause some problems, I hope Joshua does not underestimate the opponent, if you are not careful, Usik will cause you a lot of trouble, you will find that in the 12 rounds with him, unknowingly losing 10 rounds, Joshua's team has to be cautious. ”
If Usik wants to win, he must withstand joshua's first half of the bombardment, which proved to be quite dangerous during this time, and Usik had to avoid being hit hard. Now that Joshua has lost weight, he hopes to have enough endurance and flexibility to face Usik, Joshua may carry out a control war, but whether he can completely suppress Usik in the control war needs to be shown.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="9" > Fury vs Wilder: Who will win? </h1>
Banks said: "In this three-game battle, a lot of things are left unresolved, Wild suffered the first loss of his career, and now he has a different coach Malik Scott, Scott is not as experienced as Wild's previous coach Mark Breland. Scott was a friend of mine, and he taught Wilder something, and I didn't know what was going to happen because Wilder had never taken it to the ring with him before teaching those things. Will Wilder succeed? I do not know. ”
Banks continued: "I'm not making predictions, I'm just discussing the facts that are happening, Fury is a good boxer, he's good at his job, and he has Javan Hill Stuward coaching, if you put this fight on the coach, there's no doubt Fury has an advantage, I've worked with Stuward for years and know him very well, so who's going to make a better strategy for the boxers, obviously Stuward, he's a master of that." ”
In the three battles, Wilder must not stand in a position like a wooden stake like the last time, allowing Fury to attack, not to mention that Fury has more advantages in technology and physique, Wilder needs to move, counterattack, in short, can not become a fixed target. Through the second battle, Wilder was frequently seized by Fury in the case of a heavy punch with his right hand, so in the next three battles, Wilder could not make Fury comfortable, otherwise the result would be the same as the last time.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="13" > Wilder has its own magic weapon </h1>
Banks said: "Wilder has his own heavy punch, which is his magic weapon and the equalizer against Furi, and one of the things I agree with is that you can finish 12 rounds, but Wilder only needs one punch and one second, so it's hard to predict, Wilder can end the fight with 11, 12 rounds behind, and he can really do that." ”
Finally, Banks emphasizes that even if you're bullish on someone, it doesn't mean it's the end result. Banks said: "Remember, if I'm bullish on someone, it's not predicting the end result, it just means he can have an advantage in the game. Things are always changing, Fury's advantage is that, first, he remains undefeated, second, he knows how to deal with Wilder, although I think Fury has more advantages, but we must see what happens in the end. ”
Wilder does have a right-handed punch, but if he can't hit it, it loses its effect, and he's better focus on the right-handed attack, and Wilder may be able to perform more combination punches because Fury is too familiar with single-handed attacks. One of Wild's biggest problems in the past was that despite the overwhelming force, the accuracy was too low, and his hand-eye coordination could not ensure the most powerful blow to throw, hoping that the three-time battle Wilder could improve these shortcomings.
