    Because he's been fighting to a gameplan (a good one imo). Wearing Usyk down with body work and slowing him down, conserved his energy first half of the fight.

    Usyk at worst 4 up, he defo could have finished him there if he went for it.

    Round 1: Usyk 10-9
    Round 2: Usyk 10-9 (close)
    Round 3: Joshua 10-9
    Round 4: Usyk 10-9
    Round 5: Joshua 10-9
    Round 6: Usyk 10-9
    Round 7: Usyk 10-9
    Round 8: Usyk 10-9 (close)
    Round 9: Joshua 10-9
    Round 10: Usyk 10-9

    97-93 Usyk

    Usyk lands a flurry of combinations but Joshua doesn’t step backwards. Joshua isn’t throwing much back at all.

    Usyk walks into a massive straight right now. Amazing action here. Now Usyk comes back, he needs to be careful not to walk into a big shot.

    What a fight. I’d love to see both of these guys against Fury / Wilder. Joshua has improved massively.

    Usyk remembered round 12 from the last fight, hope he hasn't gone too early.

    Class.
    No quit in AJ at all! Usyk might walk onto a huge one though

    This when AJ should work the body now, when Usyk has thrown a load.

    No chance on points without corruption and looks like being stopped himself.

    Still 2 rounds to go

    Usyk did not have the legs to put Joshua down there.

    AJ is closer on the cards than I thought, he just needs to be competitive in the last two rounds for a classic Matchroom fix

    Joshua has taken these shots well. Usyk doesn’t punch extremely hard at HW but he’s very accurate.
