AJ put in a good performance. Usyk put in a boxing masterclass.

    This wasn't a bad AJ, he actually did well but Usyk put in a performance for the ages.

    AJ had a good and logical plan, he came in to fight behind his jab as hes bigger, stronger and has a considerable reach advantage. AJ has a good and quick jab.

    Usyk evaded 95% of his jabs and always countered with his own, he outjabbed AJ in every round.

    Everytime AJ attempted to move forward to use his weight, Usyk either got out of the way or nailed him with a straight left or a left hook and hurt AJ a few times coming in. It wasn't like AJ didn't try.

    Usyk is just special. I didn't think he would have performed like this. I was confident he could win but I didn't think he would barely lose a round vs arguably the best heavyweight

    However everyone is discrediting Usyk now and calling AJ a bum, the same people said AJ is #1 and would smash puny Usyk in 4 rounds.

    I thought Usyk would wear Joshua down and maybe get him out of there in about round 10. He impressed the hell out of me. I think he can easily dispatch Wilder...and yes ...Wilder would be dangerous....right up until Usyk ko's him. I think he would have more trouble with Fury. Think he would beat Fury also. BTW..Joshua has nothing to hang his head over. He fought as best he could to the end.

    I bet on Usyk TKO in 11th and on a draw. Didn't have faith in the judges

    The fight played out exactly as I thought it would, forgive my smugness.

    Way Usyk could sit just out of range but get his shots off and move away was great

    AJ still just landing his lead right hand a little to often but nothing really on it, still did damage.

    Their styles geled nicely.

    For me it was actually a pretty entertaining and tense stand up boxing display. Very little clinching or messy exchanges.

    But AJ and his corner have to get real. When something isn't working, acknowledge it and think of a another strategy..which you should have trained for.
    Don't keep clapping and cheering on Joshua's destruction of air molecules.
