    Joshua himself. Maybe his mom. That's about it.

    Glen Feldman somehow gave him the 2nd 115-113 lol..

    I had both clear Usyk, even the round AJ had Usyk running around barely anything landed.

    There are people who think AJ put on a "good" performance. That's the only controversial take we have on this forum.

    He did not, by the way.

    I think he did. He tried his bloody hardest, especially the second fight. Can't ask more than that.

    AJ did not even have a claim to have won more than 2 rounds in either fight.

    And those 2 rounds he could have claimed to have won, you can make a case for Usyk winning.

    The official cards in both fights were ridiculous.

    I think did well in the 2nd fight and picked up some of the earlier rounds
    I can't recall what rounds now but seem to recall thinking it was reasonably close but with Usyk a clear winner but not a landslide

    He did well, especially in the second - better than Dubois in either fight and much, much closer to Fury than almost anyone will admit.


    But Usyk won clearly and uncontroversially, with no legitimate claim to the contrary - just like he did against Fury.

    He didn't win either fight but he gave it a good go. I think he done better than Fury and Dubois.

    Fury was the only one of the 3 who actually troubled Usyk.

    Just my opinion. Fury was lucky in the 9th, stumbling around like an old drunk, Usyk never hurt Joshua like that.

    You lot don't like to hear it but Chisora also gave Usyk some trouble, the man even said it himself. Chisora didn't win the fight but he definitely doesn't get enough credit for his game plan etc.
