    Yeah. AJ might stop him or vice versa. I don't rule anything out here. But what are the chances of AJ ever getting robbed or being on the receiving end of a premature stoppage?

    I thought exactly that too.
    Even though it was probably the worst game plan AJ could have had ( boxing the master boxer) I thought AJ's actual boxing and movement in general was the best I've seen of him. Not to mention it was a decently fast paced fight and AJ's tank held up better than I expected too.

    No way on earth from an actual boxing perspective was this the 'worst AJ'

    None. Pavon as referee worries me a lot to be fair.

    Worst version based on what ? He could well do far worse tonight. I will wait my judgement until after tonight’s fight .

    What you have pointed out there is the difference between Usyk and Joshua, Usyk will dig in and continue when hurt without showing it,Joshua can’t and won’t. When Joshua is hurt apart from showing it he loses his concentration and gets exhausted immediately.
