I love boxing but hate how corrupt it is and how so many guys avoid tough fights. Credit to Anthony. He lost and obviously didn't fight a great fight. But i don't want to be too harsh. He never shies away from serious challenges. Wish every fighter had that mentality.
Yeah exactly. I'm sure he will come stronger in the rematch, but i think the result could be the same, if Usyk didn't decline even more, cause this wasn't prime Usyk.
I gonna give a credit to Usyk not bodybuilder. He saved bodybuilder's life because my man Fury would kill him in the ring. Usyk just beat him like a step child.
People were saying EXACTLY and i mean EXACTLY the same thing after the Ruiz fight. I still favor Usyk, but Joshua ain't no slouch !!!
If Fury came out like he did vs Wilder 2, yes, he would win. However, Usyk is smaller and slipplier than Fury. I am sure Joshua would land a lot more on Tyson despite Tyson's speed because of how big he is.
Joshua will find it very hard to comeback from this, he was close to a ko loss at the end. He was thoroughly outboxed by a much smaller man. That’s bad news for Joshua’s already weak psyche
Great point. Credit to Joshua. He takes fights like a real heavyweight champ is supposed to. Fury talks like one but rarely fights and Wilder’s resume is total garbage.
He was forced into it Or he would have got stripped and the undisputed Fury fight was over either way. If he can't outbox Usyk then why bother with Fury I guess...
It was a mandatory that he was 100% forced into. Huge credit to Joshua for facing his legally obligated mandatory. Also HUGE credit to AJ for paying his taxes. What a lad.
Its not impossible for Joshua to come back. I gave him atleast 3 rounds and possibly 4. There were times he landed powerful right hands, hurt Usyk and did some nice work. However, he can't load up on his right hands. Usyk is too quick to fall for that. Joshua needs to stand more upright, fire double and tripe jabs, feint right hands every 20 seconds and throw at least 10-12 meaningful right hands per round. He has a chance. I am elated Usyk won but in boxing, you are only as good as your last fight. Too many fans write off a fighter after one loss. Usyk will be favoured in a rematch but Joshua showed enough glimpses to give him hope of winning.
Usyk was Joshua’s mandatory and either fought him or lost the WBO belt as well as being paid millions to do it. Had he gave the belt up to avoid him that would have been too big of an embarrassment.
