Yep, Joshua can still win the fight because of his height/reach and longer experience in the heavyweight class. Usyk is a solid technical boxer with southpaw advantage since a southpaw boxer faces more orthodox boxers in his career. We can see how AJ looked confused in their first match. However, if AJ can mimic Fury's strategy, he can win it. He just need to put a lot of weight, and power. Don't go technical against Usyk, but go head on full YOLO. He is bigger than Usyk who was a cruiserweight boxer.

 Cheesy Your sentence sounds like "hey buddy, just mimic the Carlsen/Ronaldo strategy and be a great chess/soccer player." At such a high level, where every nuance matters, this is simply unrealistic. Joshua has a different physical condition than Fury and he cannot transform into him.  Even in the first match, against the background of Usik, he looked like a very slow boxer, what will happen if he gains extra weight? I think that on the contrary, he should lose weight a little and focus on increasing speed - perhaps this will allow him to realize his advantage in strength. Otherwise, Usyk again simply outboxes him in smart boxing.
