Joshua’s Kryptonite: Quick-paced Preventing
AJ’s kryptonite is a fast-paced struggle, and Dubois makes a speciality of that. He doesn’t permit his opponents to get pleasure from relaxation breaks to catch their breath, and Joshua, greater than anybody, requires frequent relaxation breaks attributable to his bodybuilding physique.
Joshua struggles when compelled to struggle shortly, work arduous, and never be given time to load up. Within the 2012 London Olympics, Italy’s Roberto Cammarelle received the higher of Joshua, throwing mixtures, carrying him down, and forcing him to carry.
Joshua misplaced that struggle within the true sense however was given a doubtful victory for this London struggle. Cammarelle appeared to win each spherical, however AJ, combating on house soil, was given a win.
That was the primary of a number of controversial selections for Joshua within the 2012 Olympics. The others have been in opposition to Erislandy Savon of Cuba and Ivan Dychko of Kazakhstan.
If Dubois fights the identical method Cammarelle did, the judges gained’t have a say in deciding the competition’s end result as a result of it gained’t see the twelfth spherical. Dubois gained’t permit it to go to the judges.
Undercard Issues: A Lack of Worldwide Enchantment
– Hamzah Sheeraz vs. Tyler Denny
– Anthony Cacace vs Josh Warrington
– Joshua Buatsi vs Willy Hutchinson
– Liam Smith vs Josh Kelly
– Mark Chamberlain vs Josh Padley
The undercard is slanted towards British fighters, as there’s not a lot to see for U.S. followers, preferring to look at world-class abilities slightly than fringe-level UK fighters who won’t ever win world titles until it’s the paper selection.
Nobody on the undercard goes wherever apart from maybe Sheeraz, however he’s fairly flawed, too. He would possibly win a belt in the future however gained’t maintain onto it lengthy. We noticed how he was harm in opposition to Austin Williams, and that efficiency spoke volumes about his future, or lack thereof.
If it have been me, I’d take an enormous broom, sweep away 4 domestic-level scraps from the cardboard, and add a few high quality fights that may curiosity the U.S. market involving real world-class guys.
It could have been a pleasant gesture so as to add some proficient U.S. fighters like Abdullah Mason, Ryan Garcia, Devin Haney, and Jaron Ennis to the cardboard to get American followers amped up. British domestic-level fighters are enticing if the cardboard is proscribed to 1 struggle, however not when the whole undercard is full of these fights.
