    Dont forget AJ smashed Usyk square on the back part of the top of his skull about 3 times.

    Andy Ruiz messed up Aj forever imo. he'll never have the same grit he did in the Klitchko fight.

    Bro visit the doctor. There is no way in hell AJ won the 11 round. That was easily Usyk round. AJ won at best the 3rd and the 9th. Maybe one more round, and that is.

    Get lost, even the biased UK commentator had Usyk 5-1-1 after the 7.
    Only a complete imbecile will give AJ 3 fights for AJ after the first 5. Get help asap.

    Would have been better if Joshua walked off, a stupid idea walking back into the ring.

    Below the belt?

    Are you ******ed?

    Also alt account? Shows you to be a special specimen when you think people care that much about a boxing forum they've got alt accounts.

    Lots of post fight comments about Usyks conditioning winning it for him, it wasn’t that, he was too slick and too experienced.

    I agree this was an excellent fight and I was surprised Usyk didn't get robbed.

    He is blind AJ fanboy.
    Even the UK commentator admitted that was low blow, he is saying that Usyk cheated in that situation.
    AJ hit Usyk with plenty of low blows and shots behind the head.

    Never was high on Joshua, ever.

    His career is in a weird spot now.

    That's exactly it, he's a bit of a prat underneath his thin veneer of coolness but at least he was a genuine prat this time.

    I watched it without commentary and I gotta be honest I though it was a close fight, I'll have to rewatch it cos I'm not very feel this 9-3 10-2 some are saying.

    Lol

    Joshua's meltdown was unlike anything I've ever seen. We were treated to some thunder-stealing self-indulgence in the immediate moments after the Ruiz defeat, but that outburst was above, beyond and then some. Just bizarre and replete with virtue-signalling to make himself appear magnanimous even as he committed a spoiled, brattish outrage.

    Glad to hear Frazer Clarke call it out.


    Terrific performance by Usyk, though I overestimated his ability to really put hurt on Joshua.



    Anyway, Fury-Usyk happens and Fury cements his position as the era's finest.

    When AJ fatigue set it in reverted to the first bout, pretty much from Round 4 on. Very impressive rally from AJ in Round 9 given his history of gassing. Usyk is a master of changing the tempo though, he almost seemed happy to take that punishment in the knowledge he'd then come out and boost the tempo in round 10. I don't think he was ever one or two punches away during that sequence.
