    In normal situation Yes.

    right now ? No.

    AJ is mentally damaged and Bakole is as confident as ever.

    AJ needs one good win before he can go against Bakole.

    I don't think there is anything wrong with AJ mentality to be fair. People absolutely overacted based on how fighter look or do interview after a loss. Yeah he obviously not going to be fine in the next week, but there is nothing wrong with AJ.

    People that saying he is not letting his hands go, has absolutely no idea what they are talking.
    He was perfectly fine, he was just outclassed badly. Nothing wrong with him, he was throwing, he was countering, he did have it a GO in the 8 and the 9 round, but Usyk is just a level above.

    Still i see nothing wrong with AJ to be fair. He is very fast, very explosive, has insanely good counters that catch even Usyk unprepared. His jab is fast and solid, his punches have insane pop, he is changing level great, knowing how to open his opponents, his defense and footwork are great. Usyk is just stylistically terrible for him.
    I'm sure AJ will look as best as ever in his next fight. I think he improved tremendously from this 2 fights with Usyk. This will 100% make him better fighter.

    No way in hell Joshua's ever gonna be on an undercard.

    Joshua vs Chisora would be an interesting fight.

    Chisora or Whyte imo.

    He looked as good as ever against Usyk, should keep the momentum going.

    Momentum going? The clown lost again and disgraced himself afterwards.

    Best I've ever seen him look tbh. So yeah he should get right back in camp and keep the momentum going.

    I don't see much momentum for him dude given his very bad PR from weekend. Recycling Whyte and Chisora won't generate it either. If he wants to face Joyce or Wilder maybe that changes.

    Well look how hard he trained and prepared for the fight. How hard he fought in the fight itself.

    Why take time off and dampen that momentum? Doesn't make sense.
