Oleksandr Oleksandrovych Usyk vs. Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua II & Hrgović vs. Zhang RBR.

Another 15 years of war in Ukraine and Joshua might be able to defeat Usyk given he is allowed to compete with prosthetic limbs. Usyk is a great man.

 

Bellew's an absolute minter

 

To be fair to Hearn, atleast he was professional and admitted Usyk won.
It's more than I expected as he has become a very bitter crybaby of late

 

Another creep is Bellew. The one way unconditional love for AJ is disturbing. I've never heard AJ utter the words Tony Bellew.

 

I still can’t get over how shite Hrgovic was

 

I’ve never seen a ring like that in my life, it was like a phone box, everytime groves would take a few steps back he was on the ropes, which is eventually where the KO shot landed, as groves retreated back to the ropes.

 

The advantages of being the “A side” fighter

 

I’m not an AJ fan by any means, not a fan of him at all but watching him cry during the presser after his meltdown post fight was a bit sad to see, I don’t think he’s particularly clever to put it lightly and I think that was a release of a lot of pent up emotion and stress

 

Hearn in the post fight presser going on about the pressure AJ is under, saying he's had too many stadium fights. Erm Eddie, you're his promoter, you're the one continuously putting the chap in stadium fights and milking him for everything you can.

 

Hrgovic was horrific but the commentary and scorecards were equally poor. Did the commentators have a bet on Zhang wining? Why was the scorecard giving Zhang every remotely close round?

 

Fury unretired for the 454th time and the 5th time this week a new record.

 

When all said and done AJ fought the best, defence after defence and finally came unstuck against a true ATG.

Fury fought a load of bums including wilder and is looking like ducking the usyk fight.

Fury may well be the better fighter but all the respect has to go to AJ.

Usyk is now number 1 HW and possibly pound for pound number 1 as well.

 

I was hoping that Joshua would do a number on Hearn during his meltdown after the fight, something along the lines of when Tyson chinned Don King.

He could have said "this one's for Jodie Marsh" or something, during his mad ramblings.

 

Of course, but then others are free to say those views are backward/wrong. And freedom of opinions have to be balanced with how that impacts on the rights/lives of others which is hard I know

 

115-113 for AJ is an absolute disgrace of a card and no doubt Hearn will milk it for the rest of AJ's career - 'Koogs he got a SD against one of the pound for pound greats' and nobody will have the balls to correct him.

Fair play to Frazer Clarke too for being the only one with a pair to say AJ was out of order after the fight.
