    Just after talking to Loma AJ punches one of Usyks trainers really hard on the fist and then shoulders away another guy's shoulder tapping. Any idea what is going on here? Might be some history there, or prior comments.

    Then after throwing the belts one of Usyk's team doesnt 'move out of the way' - but he doesnt seem to say anything. This is what really set him off. (The small bald guy)

    Deep analysis shows that Cuddle Kanga, AJ's favourite soft toy hadn't been brought into the ring. :duh This is likely due to the change in trainers, McCracken worked with Joshua for years and long understood that Cuddle Kanga and her friends Looby Loo, Patrick Bear and Rustle Rhino had to be present after the end of the fight as well as a nice bottle of juice and his blankey. Looks like Hernandez and Garcia didn't do their homework however and the subsequent visit from Mr Tantrum was thus inevitable. :mad: I just hope the organisers of Eubank Benn were watching closely and have already made suitable provisions to stop similar or worse happening there.

    Aj is really weird. He goes on this james butler vibe passive agressive frustrated way of looking for trouble. Then acting like a child then back to this mix of anger and praising Usyk.

    Really cringeworthy and weird.
    Usyk didnt like it either but behaved professionally. Could have easily caused a small riot there.

    I think AJ was looking for that.
    Him not responding and making him look like a child makes Usyk looks more mature and bigger.

    Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake
