Comments Thread For: Whyte Felt Joshua's Performance Was Bizarre, Didn't Let His Hands Go

He didn't let his hand go cuz he didn't trust his chin.
It was all over for him after receiving few shots that wobbled him.

It has nothing to do with that. In boxing, you have to take risks. Usyk also got punished with big shots but he kept his foot on the gas.

AJ was just a confused guy trying to outbox a boxer. And even before the fight, he respected Usyk way too much like a fan.

Terrible HW title fight. AJ was lackluster from the first round and Usyk ran around like a scared cat pitty patting. Usyk could have taken AJ out but he is a pooty boxer he does not fight like that. AJ needs more leg strength and balance if he is going to cut off the ring in a rematch he looked like he was on ***** street the whole fight.

Easier said than done when you’re petrified of being hit and go into panic mode whenever you get clipped, especially when you have a sharp quick puncher in-front of you.

AJ hasn’t got the balls of the likes of Whyte and Fury

Whyte got ironed out by Povetkin, then went straight into the rematch and went after him. Fury got dropped heavily in the Wilder 1 fight, went right at him in the rematch, actually also in the same fight and round.

AJ is not a natural fighter like that, definitely not anymore.

Say what you want about Dillian Whyte, I truly think he would prefer to get knocked out while trying to swing and win than not leave it all in the ring.

"Joshua is a strange guy, he’s a proper f------- weirdo, he should have been putting the heat on him." - Dillian Whyte

He's been fighting scared since Ruiz lit him up in MSG! He was gassed then, and now he's nervous to become gassed again! He needs a new trainer!

He didn't let his hands go because he knows Usyk was waiting to pop him with that straight left.

Joshua is chinny and can't walk through even light punchers like Usyk.

Chinny or an insecure commercial guy who has mentally checked out of boxing? The boy is a celebrity now - taking selfies during ring walk and he’s trying to be a prettyboy like Mayweather and not what made him the fan favourite.

He was trying to prove in there that he can outbox Usyk. He didn’t grab Usyk more than once in the fight and as a big guy - you’re always told to lean on a smaller opponent. And the few times someone grabbed - it was Usyk who did the grabbing after getting hit. There was a moment where Usyk caught him flush with a straight left he set up with a feint - rather than grab Usyk, lean on him and punch his body up - this guy just used his hands in locking Usyk’s hands. Like WTF? You’re the bigger guy - grab the guy and lean on him.

Apparently, he was still watching videos an hour before the fight. The same thing he did against Andy Ruiz. He’s mentally ffffcked and very insecure. If he can’t go back to what got him where he’s - he needs to retire.

By the fifth round Usyk was gassed and was in search of a second wind. He stopped throwing punches and kept moving. That's when AJ should have engaged him and started trading and exchanging punches with Usyk but instead, He was just too cautious and tentative in doing so for fear of getting clipped by a punch he didn't see. Fury would have easily knocked Joshua out Saturday night fighting like that..

That Andy Ruiz fight left an indelible scar.on him. if Joshua can't overcome his fear of getting hit then he just needs to retire before he risks serious injury. He is starting to eat too many punches now. If you don't punch your opponents back then they are going to constantly hit you.I believe he could have gotten Usyk out of there if he wanted too but was just too afraid of taking the necessary risk in order to do so..

When.Why te opened up on povetkin Why he was on canvas, so I think Josh is only doing what he can do. Its easy to talk outside ring.
Whythe would have lost also

[JakeTheBoxer]

There is no such thing as 100% win game plan when you fight elite guy.

[Boxing Scene]

Whyte would get absolutely shut out and probably knocked out in 8 or 9 rounds. It would be like toying with him.
