Robert Garcia Says Anthony Joshua's Mind is “Weaker” Than Usyk's (Boxing Social)

“Joshua was mentally defeated since round ten or eleven. Round ten was a big one for Usyk. That changed the whole fight, and mentally we were defeated.

His mind was what made him turn the tide in the fight and get him to victory. It will be interesting to see who is in his corner when the first one comes. He was brought in specifically for this fight, with Joshua touring America to scout coaches before making that decision. Through round nine, we were winning the fight on the judges scorecards, but it was decided in the last rounds. The last three rounds of the fight were the ones that changed the fight. That is what we were hoping for, one shot, because he [AJ] was dominated at that point of the fight.”
