Joshua’s Kryptonite: Quick-paced Preventing
AJ’s kryptonite is a fast-paced combat, and Dubois makes a speciality of that. He doesn’t permit his opponents to take pleasure in relaxation breaks to catch their breath, and Joshua, greater than anybody, requires frequent relaxation breaks resulting from his bodybuilding physique.
Joshua struggles when pressured to combat 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, sporting him down, and forcing him to carry.
Joshua misplaced that combat within the true sense however was given a doubtful victory for this London combat. Cammarelle appeared to win each spherical, however AJ, combating on dwelling soil, was given a win.
That was the primary of a number of controversial choices for Joshua within the 2012 Olympics. The others had been towards Erislandy Savon of Cuba and Ivan Dychko of Kazakhstan.
If Dubois fights the identical means 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 Attraction
– 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 observe world-class abilities quite than fringe-level UK fighters who won’t ever win world titles except it’s the paper selection.
Nobody on the undercard goes anyplace aside 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 towards Austin Williams, and that efficiency spoke volumes about his future, or lack thereof.
If it had 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 will curiosity the U.S. market involving real world-class guys.
It will 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 engaging if the cardboard is restricted to 1 combat, however not when your entire undercard is crammed with these fights.
