    I think most people felt the judges would.

    You must be joking. Joshua, in reality, won 2 rounds at best.

    Howard Foster tried his best but even he couldn't even give it to Joshua.

    Joshua isn't mediocre by any means. I don't like him one bit but his CV is the best in the division, better than anyone. Usyk is just on another level, footwork, hand speed, head movement, engine, boxing IQ. Everything in his game is top notch apart from power and dirty stuff.

    Usyk had just stepped up from cruiser and was still adapting to fighting bigger guys, and Chisora is unorthodox, rushing around and trying to land something big on Usyk. I think Usyk fights better against more orthodox style of boxers, and today AJ tried to outbox someone who is a better boxer than himself.

    Actually, if AJ had been more of a bully, he could have taken some of the initiative away from Usyk. I also think AJ got poor advice from his corner. For example when they repeatedly shouted he should go to the stomach, and he did, and again, and was then countered badly by Usyk because he was suddenly wide open. That also revealed one of AJ's biggest weaknesses, his boxing IQ. In the first fight against Andy Ruiz it was as if they had to tell him between rounds everything he should do, as if he doesn't have any ability to make adjustments himself. Usyk though seems clever, and able to adapt quickly to styles and when to take more risk versus holding back. In a rematch with either man I think Usyk would do even better.

    Well… I got that one wrong.. i've just witnessed something pretty special there. 2 lower level fights in 3 years & he puts on a clinic against one of the HW champions. Unreal.. say what you want about Joshua, Ive always thought he was overvalued and overrated but the guy is a legit puncher and specimen and has put together One of the best resumes at heavyweight… Usyks just damn special. Hopefully fury gets the job done and we see this one… It would be a ****ing brilliant fight

    No offense bro, but for someone who hates Canelo with a passion you sure like talking about him.
