    Calm down, your boy just took a hell of a beating, deal with it, hopefully you'll do better than Joshua's hissy fit.

    Now what the hell was that, AJ throwing the belts away, storming out of the ring, coming back and seeming to confront Usyk?

    Man, you just gave a great account of yourself against arguably the best fighter in the world, why the **** would you ruin it like this?

    Usyk is not like Tyson, Usyk would be a tall fighter in any decade prior to the 80s. Usyk would dwarf Tyson by 5 inches, that's way larger than the gap between Usyk and Joshua.

    Btw, I actually agree with you that Joshua KO was more realistic than Usyk KO, and this is as somebody who picked Usyk by decision.

    Narcissism? Seems to be pretty common among HW champs worth 8 or even 9 figures.

    Usyk came much closer to stopping AJ in round 10 than the other way round. So by same token folks thinking that Usyk could get a stoppage in 10/11/12 were IMO more astute than AJ getting a hail mary. Usyk wasn't as hurt in round 9 as the pundits made out IMO

    He's not my boy, I predicted Usyk to win, I actually thought Usyk would stop a gassing AJ about round 9 so you can calm yourself right down again and stop getting all excited.

    No shame in getting outclassed by Usyk again but Joshua's post-fight meltdown was as classless as a Marxist utopia. It's one thing to be passionate and genuine, he showed it at the wrong time and ruined Usyk's winning moment.

    my honest assassment is that both fighters were better versions in their first fight. usyk lacked the explosivness to finish joshua and got tired quicker aswell. Joshua timid and gunshy as always. just the addition from garcia the bodywork was positive. If joshau continues boxing he will have a very hard time, His weakness is all bare to see for all. Shaky chin, low stamina after 6 rounds. And the biggest problem is the mental side of his after ruiz 1. Just never the same after that
