    Hahahahah what are you chatting about man. Whyte and Joyce have decent chances... two slumbering guys who dont punch as hard as AJ, get off it.

    yrea they dont because he contests wilder but you better believe a small white cruiserweight winning makes them upset.

    I had Usyk winning 5 rounds to 4 going into the 10th. 10th round was a tough one to score. 11th and 12th clearly Usyk rounds.

    Before tonight I would have said Loma is more skilled... I'm not too sure after tonight

    Just because Usyk beat Joshua today doesn't mean he beats everyone at heavyweight. Guys like Whyte and Joyce won't be so hesitant.

    Watching a bit of it now. Usyks movement is amazing early on.

    Sidenote : Why in the hell do I get nervous watching fights after I already know who won. Makes no sense :facepalm:

    As I said before. I love the act Usyk is giving the bigger guys hell.

    these things are possible but I think AJ's stamina was as good as we've seen. Usyk's movement and work rate would exhaust anyone.
    Injury - we'll never know, we didn't see many left hooks but that could be b/c Usyk took it away from him rather than a shoulder injury.

    I had him 5 up at the final bell but it was a really good fight with Joshua playing his part.

    He showed heart and some adjustments mid rounds which made Usyk somewhat hesitant to come in but then Usyk turned up the heat too like a real champion is supposed to. He didn't let AJ take over when the momentum swung a little and the crowd got into it.

    In my opinion he's above Loma.
    Loma has these moments when he looks kind of amaturish where he gets stuck just fainting and doing nothing (Salido, Lopez fights). Usyk looks like a slightly better strategist too.

    Chisora was probably one of the worst style matchups for Usyk, and apparently Usyk injured both his arms in that fight too.

    Not many have had an easy fight againts Del Boy, and Usyk got him in a renaissance of sorts. I think all things considered it was a better performance from Usyk than many folks initially gave credit for - especially if you watch it again.
