    AJ has a glass jaw and can't take being hit.

    He has anxiety problems, he had a panic attack during the fight. He had one before the 1st ruiz fight.

    I've been saying this for years, Ajs flaws have always been there, but before Ruiz he had bottle and would take risks

    Since ruiz he shats himself anyone gets close. Even panicked when old man pulev got close. He will still have his athletic qualities and be able to land combos on stationery targets. However, his defence is Terrible and he has lost the dog inside

    Aj fans (fury haters) may jump on usyk bandwagon now, as Aj is done

    Oh, look I'm not knocking usyks performance but if you cant see aj is a shell of his former confident aggressive self in there then , oh well..

    It was a good performance but calm down on the best of all time fella. Lol

    You'll keep coming up with the same stuff if Usyk beats Fury. I bet you'll say

    "Fury is not the same fighter he was when he fought Klitschko" and try to discredit Usyk

    Usyk and Krassyuk are master trolls. I consider myself pretty good at telling when someone is lying and they even had me fooled. Their lying and trolling is next level. The term 4D chess gets banded about a lot but this was some brilliant psychological warfare by them and it was all done with a smile on their faces.

    Usyk is absolutely fearless and his self-belief and self-confidence is unnerving and even AJ could see it in his eyes during the face off.

    He didn't see a single ounce of fear or self-doubt when he stared into Usyk's eyes and you have to bear in mind that he knew full well how stacked the deck was in his favour and against Usyk it was and so did Usyk, both in terms of huge physical advantages he held over him and the uneven playing field, and that would've only unsettled and unnerved him even more because any mortal man should be nervous in that situation.

    At what point? Surprised we don't see more of this. So much pressure on these guys
