He might have been in a training camp for 12 weeks, but it doesn't mean he was training the full 12 weeks. The rolls of flab around his back says that. If he's in that shape against Usyk, he loses.
I've never thought he was the most powerful puncher out there, compared to AJ, Wilder or the Klitschkos at their peak, but he had enough weight behind him to hurt someone. But tonight he never looked like unsettling his opponent and hurting them. And this is what he has to be worried about. He never physically dominated his opponent and his limitations as a boxer were there tonight. Lennox Lewis, Vitally Klitschko, Larry Holmes etc would have stayed behind a solid jab, picked off a few points winning shots and opened up for a combination now and again. Tyson in his prime would keep coming forward, working the body, putting on pressure, not letting you settle, forcing an opportunity. All would dominate the rounds and gradually ease away and make the opponent have to take chances, which open up again opportunities to score points. He didn't do that, it was as though he thought he could walk through him after a few rounds and when it didn't happen he had no plan b. He was lucky tonight.
