He needed the approach of rounds 5 and 6 in the first two rounds.
He just fights like a robot with little/no ability to make adjustments. In that way I could see him being properly calibrated for the rematch and battering Usyk. I think there's definitely a case for him/his group overthinking things, which causes the weird tunnel vision/paralysis.
