Exposed is a stupid phrase to use. No one would ever think joshua a better boxer than usyk. So when AJ tries to box him and gets beat there's really not much surprise or exposure. AJ is probably a better boxer than most in the division with power to boot he just came up against someone who was a stylistic nightmare. This doesn't mean he can't beat fury, wilder or whoever else it just means he can't beat usyk. Chisora did much better than AJ did and apparently "exposed" usyk. Well clearly not, he just found the style hard to cope with.
I agree, the ruiz loss was explainable, he took heavy shots and didn't recover he wasn't ever outclassed. Tonight he had his head boxed off and got whooped, I reckon this will be a hard one for him to recover from.
I said Joshua was way too full of himself and casual in that final presser on Thursday, obviously had no concept of the man he was facing. "I'll be back in the gym Monday" he said as if Usyk was just another stepping stone and "I'll take him no problem". Well you're in hospital right now AJ after a beating and won't be bouncing about any gym on Monday.
Joshua wasn’t exposed as a lot of fans had picked Usyk to win anyway but I agree the loss he got is going to take a while to get over if ever. Usyk was class and fought to the best of his skills and ability and was the far superior fighter on the night .
It was never a good idea to stand in the middle of the ring and follow usyk around in circles trying to fight usyk the way aj did tonight. he's lost a lot about him since that Ruiz loss has aj, he looks almost as scared of getting hit now as audley did lol He's tried to change his game too much since that ruiz loss and now with him being scared in there doesn't help any.
He was too comfortable. He thought he had it in the bag. Dude was shaking everyone’s hand and kissing grandmas on his way to the ring.
Here's the things, and this from a guy who though Usyk would beat AJ a decade ago: AJ, still, is NOT a hype job. He's a well backed HW conteder, that's all. He's one of thebest of his time, third say. So calm down.
