AJ landed about 3 punches and got a 113-115 card

But he also lost 8-4 on two cards. I scored the fight 9-3.

9-3/8-4 was probably right.

 

AJ buzzed Usyk multiple times and busted his face up

 

It's interesting how physiologically as to why he got busted up so badly. He does mark up easy.

Then you see guys who take an absolute pasting and look like they haven't been hit.

 

Pale guys with low amounts of melanin like Usyk get marked up pretty easy

 

Great thread, the guy won 3/4 rounds with 3 punches, impressive.

 

Yeah........errr no.
I scored it 9-3 for Usyk but Joshua clearly landed a lot more than three punches and Usyk's face is testament to that.
I don't disagree about a potential robbery I thought that would happen in the first fight. It actually makes more sense to do the robbery in the rematch especially if the "loser' does not have a rematch clause.
I've said from the first fight that Joshua realistically only needs to be a bit more competitive and win a round or two more to get the nod.
I'm rooting for Usyk as I like him a lot more and would like him to become undisputed as I genuinely think he's the best out of the current lot.
Having said that I wouldn't be surprised by a robbery but it's going to be risky for both to go for the finish and take it out of the judges hands.

 

He was "brilliant!!"

Couldn't you hear?

 

I've got a strong gut feeling we're gonna get drama's and fireworks from both sides very early on in this one mate.

I personally don't think it's gonna see the 12th round this time around


It can't come to soon Exo. Make sure your home bar is topped up.

 

I tend to agree mate. I think both will have to take bigger risks for different reasons and that I think will lead to a more exciting fight.
Joshua was reticent and looked a bit clueless at times in the first fight but could have made it more competitive if he imposed his size and power more. I think he was mindfull not to get get caught with something and getting finished he can't afford to do that again.
Usyk on the other hand will also understand that this time he may need to either finish the fight early or win by an even wider margin. taking into account the judges scores from the first fight despite it being a bit of a schooling.
I think it should be a good scrap while it lasts. I will definitely be on the RBR for that one....

 

AJ and Canelo lost. Both highly likely to lose a rematch.

 

Those were some damn good 3 punches then...

Who is disputing that? Usyk clearly won the fight, but it wasn't a shutout as many here would have you believe.

This forum is so biased Jesus... I personally think AJ is a bum, but he landed more than 3 punches in this fight, and those punches were clearly damaging.

 

if he can land 10 punch he can win on cuts then
