Did they rang the bell early in the 12th round to save AJ?

    Yeah I know

    AJ is good but he isn't great, this idea that he is some elite fighter is nonsense, he is just a single level above the likes of Chisora and Whyte.. not LEVELS.

    Possibly 68k of his fans watching him being picked apart at home was too hard to swallow.

    He couldn't get off his stool for about five minutes. It was over.

    I did a rewind and counted down and I think they rang it 5-6 seconds early, maybe to save AJ, although in the end he had weathered the storm and didn't really need to be saved.

    Or sometimes the clock on the broadcast is a little bit off from the clock in the ring. If you look at the start of the round, the bell rings and after about 11 seconds the clock on the screen shows up but says 2:55 when it should've said 2:49

    Wow, Usyk said that he wanted to finish him but his corner said to back up a little. THat is why he don't go all the way in the final seconds.

    Different kind of loss I think.

    Vs Ruiz he was doing well and very comfortable until that hook caught him. Here he was completely outclassed from the first bell and deep down I think he knows there's very little he can do to change that other than pray Usyk gets old or doesn't bother training as hard for the rematch.

    Yes thats because people don't understand styles make fights. Chisora style coped better with usyk because of his style. AJ would flatten chisora because of his style. Just because AJ lost tonight does not mean he is now garbage and would lose to fury, he could well flatten fury then fury turn round and beat usyk.

    It means nothing.

    I stopped the videa when the 10-second hammer sounded, and the bell rang five seconds later. So it wasn't the clock on the screen's problem.

    Great fight, though. Brilliant performance by Usyk.

    Love Saturday afternoon boxing cards.

    I need to go outside now while it's still light. Beautiful fall evening.

    It was rung early. Didn't matter because Joshua was knocked out in my opinion. Dude might as well have collapsed in his corner.

    I checked again and couldn't hear the hammer the crowd was too loud.

    Great main event for sure.
