Usyk Vs Joshua 2 Press Conference.

I do find it hard watching his interviews. Just comes across as too fake for me and all the motivational speech cliches every other sentance are really cringey.

But it's not a fight he can't win because at the end of the day he's still holds massive physical advantages in terms of weight, height, reach, strength and power over Usyk and he hits really hard

He's got half the world offering him tips and advice too. I've never seen anything like it lol. Even former Usyk opponents have offered to help him and he even had Usyk's former trainer James Ali Bashir in the gym for a short while too

And obviously, contrary to what the AJDL (the AJ defence league) who comprise largely of insufferable casuals desperately want us to believe, the current predicament Usyk's home country and countrymen are in is hardly ideal for him going into the biggest fight of his life. I'm sure they would be whistling exactly the same tune if England had been invaded and London was being bombed and thousands/tens of thousands AJ's countrymen had lost their lives

"My friends and people close to me, they have died in the war. When so many people are suffering I don't have any idea how it can influence anything positively. I was there for one month and I saw with my own eyes what happened there... the rockets flying and fighter jets flying. It's horrible," Usyk

 

He was having enough problems trying to catch Usyk clean with arm punches. He looked befuddled by Usyk's constant movement, speed and feints from the outset

“I know what I’m doing. I know exactly what I’m doing. I know what I’m gonna do. I know...Knockout, Kronk style. When I watch things, I like Emanuel Stewart’s mindset. Obviously you’ve got to do your As and Bs and Cs but is you follow them they’ll lead to you to KO — and that’s what we’re here to do, put on a spectacular show, people want to see knockouts and that’s what we’ve got to deliver for the fans.”

 

Two days before the fight says he knew exactly what he had to do and that he was going to KO Usyk Kronk style

After the fight he blamed the loss on having the wrong game plan and trying to box Usyk

Then he says he'd never gone into a fight with a game plan before even though that is so obviously the biggest load of bollocks

Now he claims he genuinely thought he was winning the fight. Hence why he was surprised upon hearing Usyk announced as the winner. That ''huh'' reaction was obviously because he thought he might get another gift from the judges in his home country again not because he thought he'd done enough

It's not a case of him, as some claim it is, of him being delusional. He's patently just lying through his teeth again

The worst thing is his lobotomized army of casuals fanbase will not only lap this up, as they do with all of the narratives he and E-Hearn spew, but they'll probably repeat it endlessly
