    I wonder what Robert McCracken is thinking now.

    It gets worse everytime you see it.

    I'm embarrassed for him.

    Reeked of a fighter that's been handed everything over the years.

    I can't remember what he said last time Usyk beat him but I recall him seeming concussed then. It's either temporary concussion or a wiring malfunction due to all the smoke that's been blown up his arse since the Olympics. He may need counseling after this.

    I suppose you have a case, in that Zab put hands on Nady and hurled a stool at him, but it wasn't nearly as weird or disturbing. Hotheaded young guy surrounded by bad influences couldn't handle losing and acted out like a thug, whereas thirty-something Joshua basically had a personality disorder-fuelled nervous breakdown in there.

    In different context.

    His statement before saying that was skills pay the bills (or something about skills) implying Usyk had them. When he said Usyk wasn't strong, how did he win... it was a leading question implying Usyks skills overcame AJs strength.

    Still was odd but wasn't him genuinely asking how did he lose.

    It was embarrassing and reeked of a vain attempt to orally wrest control of the encounter when he had spent the whole evening failing to do so with his fists.

    I suspect Joshua is done. There are very few meaningful fights left for him. He will consider 99% of potential opponents beneath him and he's not necessarily wrong - he only stands to be humiliated by taking on a Joe Joyce or Michael Hunter. The one fight that may mean something, Wilder, is essentially a battle of the losers and there's no guarantee he'd win it. In fact, he'd probably lose to Wilder.

    Fury-Joshua is still an eventual possibility, which is why I'd expect Wilder to have no part in Joshua's plans;

    What the hell was that?! I watched the fight in a pub so missed this first time around. Hopefully he can be repaired.
