Joshua’s meltdown

Big josh channelled his inner Larry hoover in his post fight tantrum. Stay humble yo!

 

I thought it was more Big Meech, but your point still stands.

 

It was like King Lear.

 

Terrible lol. So his hissy fit started because usyk's crew were trying to console him.

 

The more things we see, the worse it is for Joshua.

When he watches it back he can't possibly think he was robbed, he must also acknowledge that it was nowhere near a split.

His corner has to shoulder some of the blame, telling him he was winning the fight.

 

I'm confused, "good boxing" did win, is AJ implying it didn't?

 

He’s been surrounded by yes men who tell him what he wants to hear his whole career. He’s probably not been told no or spoken to truthfully in years.

If the corner had been honest with him and told him he was getting completely outclassed, he would have deflated and probably quit or found an easy way out.

 

Might have spat the gum shield out again.

 

Just seen that fat little smug twat Frank Smith saying Joshua Wilder is a bigger fight than Usyk Fury.

 

Yeah, it can't be a coincidence that this corner, and the one in the last fight, both resorted to telling him what he wanted to hear, rather than the truth of the situation.

They work with him day in day out.

 

Well he’s wrong. I also found it amusing how in interviews, he’s clearly starting to mimic Eddie Hearn’s speech pattern - from turn of phrase to inflection on certain words.

I know they’re from the same area but it’s clear he’s mimicking Hearn, whether consciously or not.

 

I have no idea who Frank Smith is, but Wilder-AJ is definitely a bigger fight as far as what kind of revenue each will generate.

Look what trouble it was even getting AJ-Usyk on a third-tier streaming platform in the U.S. Fury’s a draw in the UK but not on par with AJ, and Usyk hsa no constituency (at least not one that can generate revenue) — and nobody in the U.S. frankly has ever heard of Usyk.

Wilder-AJ would fill a stadium in the UK and be a massive PPV in both American and the UK.

 

His whole post fight speech made zero sense at all. He kept jumping from topic to topic without making any sense.

This is why he needs to talk less. He really needs to stop confirming he's a certified idiot by talking less. At the moment, he makes a hash of every single simple question asked of him. To the point where it's become embarrassing listening to him now.

Also on the point of, his team should have told him at the end, how to behave. He's a 6 ft 6 heavyweight that just suffered his 2nd career loss. He wouldn't have listened to anyone at that point and no one probably wanted to go and physically control him. The mood he was in, he would have lashed out.

 

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

As for it being the responsibility of his team to tell him how to act, he’s a grown man. They tried to stop him stomping around the ring and leaving, they tried to stop him from tossing Usyk’s belts —- he wasn’t trying to hear that.
