AJ: I thought I was winning the first fight and I deliberately let Usyk beat me up in the last round

Joshua needs to be more concerned with the Mr Olympia. He is not beating Usyk without his precious roids.

 

WTF?

 

He`s in denial.

 

Exactly. He won no more than 3 rounds, and he drop big in my eyes with this b. c. excuses.
There ia no chance to make a case for him winning any other rounds than 5, 6 and the 8th.

 

Usyk landed on the logic processor, subsequently AJ was unable to objectively process thoughts.

 

Absolutely inspired. Bravo

 

Shows why he needed to get away from McCracken.

 

If I was interviewing AJ, my question would have been, what would you have done differently if your corner told you, after the 6th round, you're down by 4 rounds? After 8 you're down by 5.
AJ is trying to rationalize the loss. His corner not telling him he's losing had nothing to do with his loss. He never has a plan B. He trains on certain things, gets them dialed in by fight night and if the script in reality doesn't match his idea of how the fight should go, he is lost.

 

He did look like Muhammad Ali in there in a number of ways:

1) He's big
2) He's black
3) He was wearing boxing gloves
4) He was wearing white trunks
5) He was standing in a boxing ring

That's where the similarity ends and that's where it will always end.

 

AJ was winning the “Story of the fight” …

 

Joshua still feels the need to vent. This is clearly bothering him big time.

 

This is classic rationalization. I really feel sorry for AJ.

 

He was referring to Kash Ali.

 

Joshua may well be a great human being but he's not a killer.

When I look at Joshua's eyes he has the deer in headlights look going on, he almost looks like he'd rather be somewhere else than in the ring especially when he fought Usyk and a second fight with Usyk will yield another loss maybe by KO.

 

He's turned his training upside down and up to 11
