This is why AJ's team didn't try to stop him.

    I also like how the voice of reason when AJ went full meltdown was Chisora :lol:

    You know things are bad when Del Boy is like "you probably want to chill out mate you're making yourself look like a mong".

    Nqh Usyk is professional in absolutely every sense of the word. He has done great to keep himself relaxed and not escalate the situation more. AJ was a di*** and now everyone is talking about it.

    Usyk showed remarkable restraint and handled the situation with class - that's how a true Champion conducts himself. I hope Joshua continues learning, it would be good if he utilizes this experience wisely and continues to develop his skills. He is still not old (not by today's standards, anyway) and he can improve. He's fortunate to be fighting in this era, that's for sure.

    Funny, but speaking of restraint, I was just watching the Larry Holmes roast. Tex Cobb gets up and starts talking about how important restraint is for a champion & then mentions the street fight between Holmes and Trevor Berbick and the 'restraint' Larry showed lol. Cobb was a total riot!

    There's something in Usyk's eyes that says "You better be glad God said 'thou shalt not kill'"

    stealing the belts. they has not even attempted an explanation for this
    Eddie Hearn made some BS up about AJ being sick of sanctioning bodies
    but one of those belts was RING magazine. anyway
    & Eddie did even not seem convince of his own BS

    If Rob Mckracken were in the corner he wouldn’t have let that happen. Rob would have told Joshua what’s up and he would have instantly stopped because of their mutual respect.

    The Roid Bodybuilder's pathway to the top in the heavyweight division is a dead end. Wilder sparks him out, as he doesn't have the mental resolve to receive as good as he gives. Fury frustrates and embarrasses him then demolishes him when AJ mentally checks out, submits and backs to the ropes. The blueprint is out there. When he backed into the ropes Ruiz finished him off by recognizing the submission. He did the same in the Usyk both fights but Usyk didn't go for it. I'm disappointed Usyk didn't go for the KO when he had him in the spin cycle.

    He was still holding on and hoping the decision would go his way. If he had said the things about OA in the post fight interview instead of losing it and acting a fool, he would have come out of this looking much better. He just gave all his haters more ammo to shoot those hate bullets at him with. He will always lose to Usyk. It's like a dwarf playing 1 on 1 against Michael Jordon. Sure the little guy might score some points, steal the ball and get a rebound here and there, but the end result will always be the same MJ 182, Dwarf 4. OA 8 to 10 rounds AJ 2 to 4 rounds. Bank on it.
