    The real question is whether Claressa Shields will put Usyk in her Top 10 now. This was her list as of about a week ago (any misspellings, such as Terrance vs Terence, are her own):

    1. Terrance Crawford
    2. Canelo
    3. Errol Spence
    4. Jermell Charlo
    5. Claressa shields
    6. Shakur Stevenson
    7. Gervonta Davis
    8. TeoFimo Lopez
    9.Anthony Joshua
    10. Tyson Fury

    I am simply awestruck by Usyk's performance.

    Maybe but that's always been his style so he's accustomed to boxing like that

    AJ gasses is almost all fights, this one was high paced and he seemed the fresher fighter up until the last round, I was very surprised

    Of course his sauce protocol would be different from the heavier days, and no doubt the old red blood cell count and haematocrit will have enjoyed a substantial increase.

    He really didn't look that good in any area tonight. He looked quite normal.

    Nah
    It wasn't close at all, maybe it was if you ignored Usyks jab and constant bodywork with the jab.
    It was 10-2 or 9-3 at best

    Usyk was hurting him even in the first half.

    Match room fc saying he's gonna bulk up and bully usyk in the rematch but he'll just gas earlier.

    Dullian shyte with his delusional opinions lmao.

    Fury absolutely destroys AJ.

    For $150 a year it's totally worth it.

    Hearn would have had him no where near Usyk unless it was mandatory.

    They might but Usyk is a special special fighter and he would have beaten anyone tonight.

    I wouldn't put too much stock in beating AJ. We will have to wait and see how Usyk does vs other top heavyweights

    Joshua already lost to a guy shorter than Usyk with less reach
