    Usyk states in post fight interview that he thought his fight with AJ would have been tougher, did a lot of people put a bet on Usyk to win? The bookies odds were funny as hell.

    Please can you stop making threads of random comments people make in interviews - at least put them in an already existing relevant thread. Just clogs up the forum with lots of duplicate content.

    Any tougher the fight would've been a draw.

    He said it, as he was prepared for more.

    Not a bad fight for AJ, It's just Usyk is another level.

    Usyk seems to have rated Joshua very highly over the years, I'd suspect too highly. He's been following him since before the 2012 Olympics and always expected him to be the champion he takes the belts from.

    I wondered if he'd be overprepared for this fight but I suppose it didn't hurt.

    Interesting he says he was getting over covid and a had hand injury against Chisora. Maybe makes sense as his level was much higher at weekend. Hearn reckons he was faking it against Chisora, nah.

    Usyk is right. Joshua bottled it!

    Fanboyism from grown men is pathetic.

    I`m just angry at how overrated AJ was compared to Usyk, the fanboyism for AJ got really silly, his trainer is an idiot.

    McCracken has been over rated since his Froch days.

    Fair play to him, he must have made at least 10 million riding the AJ bandwagon.

    He’s referring to the fact that Joshua never even tried to make his physicality pay!
    We all expected to see Joshua use his size and power at some point but not only did he never do that he also never threw any combinations or power punches.

    The Joshua fanboys just can't accept the reality that Joshua isn't as good as they believed him to be. He's talented but he'll never be great.

    I've realized this, you should too.
