Bernd Bente was at first a boxing journalist, then became the manager of Klitschko brothers and now he is back to commentate on his fights, including Anthony Joshua (24-3, 22 KOs) vs. Alexander Usyk ...
Many have already written off A.J. and his championship ambitions, but Bente pointed out one important aspect - Robert Garcia and just the beginning of his partnership with the Englishman.
"Joshua got better after the first duel, he definitely improved his defense and finally activated his right hand, which is very important in left-handed fights. He also worked well with body kicks, but continued to lose in his jab work, which in my opinion is the most important weapon in boxing, especially if we are talking about a tall fighter like Joshua. An important aspect was the new coach in AJ's corner. Let's not forget that Wladimir Klitschko also lost his first fight with Emanuel Steward in his corner. It took the two of them a few fights to get through and make a great duo. Later on, Klitschko never lost a fight with Steward in his corner," said the former manager of the world heavyweight champion.
