    No, I think you're the one who's stark raving mad, because no one sane praises a one sided loser like this. You're obsessed with making him not look that bad.

    It's more the fact that it's one person doing all this preening to make up for the fact that his favourite fighter is often a bit **** at the top level, it's pathetic.

    You must absolutely adore Wilder. And Amir Khan.

    I would respect Joshua a lot more if he returned to being full on "street" instead of this fake manufactured image they've created for him. He's never in real stinkers but neither are many of his fights especially exciting to watch. He needs more of an edge to him and needs to return back to the days when he used to try to bang people out and then gas after 6 rounds. **** or bust. I'd enjoy his fights more that way. You always get the feeling he's holding something back.

    I think he conducted himself well in this one too. Usyk was two step ahead of him for the first three rds, but he adapted and had evened the fight out after 8 rds (I personally had rd 9 very, very close as well). Not many has been able to adapt against Usyk, usually it's Usyk who adapts after a slow start.

    Then Usyk pulled away towards the end, but Joshua left his all in the ring. He was exhausted with one almost closed, but still standing.

    I see no fault with that performance, just that Usyk was better in a great fight.

    I enjoy Wilder. Even though he's fought mostly garbage opponents, he's exciting to watch.

    Maybe Joshua has a SBC.
