Usyk slightly on top after 11 for me - Joshua needs a good 12th

Agreed, I think Usyk is a bit ahead (1 or 2 points), AJ doing much better than their first fight but needs a very strong finish.

Usyk hammered AJIn the last three rounds, just too good from the Ukrainian.

Ruiz 1 killed Joshua, never the same after. This Joshua never has a chance against Usyk. At least if he was aggressive and blew himself out in 7 rounds he'd have a chance to knock him out. As someone said above he's just so robotic, he used to be explosive and exciting to watch

Judge 1 was either blinded by sweat or tainted by money. Shocking to score that for AJ by 2 rounds.

Usyk was a comfortable winner by 3+

Burst out laughing at the 115-113 AJ scorecard 😂 Had Usyk by about 3 rounds . A masterclass of speed and boxing defence and surely retirement beckons for the brave but Bruno-esque AJ

AJ probably thought he’d won because his corner wrongly kept telling him he was winning the rounds.

Eddie Hearn playing devil’s advocate at the end too - an on form Fury would best Usyk. He’s too strong, too big and too clever.

Scoring was: 4 point win to Usyk, 2 point win to Usyk and 2 point win to Joshua. That last one is an oddity.
I also heard at some point that AJ's corner was telling him he was 3 rounds up after 3. Maybe his corner needed to be a bit more honest with him to gee him up & maybe why he had over-expectations of the result.

Felt AJ did well. Usyk is class. No shame losing to the best. Fury v Usky undisputed will be a great watch.
Still good fights out there for AJ. Wilder would be a great fight.

Was an intriguing but generally one sided fight. The 116-112 card was about right.

AJ exposes himself at the end though, he’s been very well managed with a fake humble persona up too now. The real AJ is a nasty piece of work.


On another note though Big Bang Zhang got jobbed in his defeat to Hrgovic

Joshua is one of them British sports stars I’ve never been able to warm to and his antics at the end just made himself out to be a complete knob….this is the bloke who said Lennox Lewis was a clown…Lewis would have wiped the floor with him

I’m no AJ fan because I never thought he was good, however to judge him over some rash comments after having his head boxed about for an hour seems a bit harsh

Don’t blame AJ, blame his team who let him go back into the ring and take the microphone. Having a big professional prize fighter trying to separate your head from your shoulders for 36 minutes can have a detrimental effect on your thinking.

I don’t think it would be wilder punches harder than anybody it would be a heavy knockout imo.He’s never going to be the no 1 now Joshua,I even think him and whyte would be is level now that would be close.

A better show from AJ but ultimately outclassed and Usyk Aj gassed badly last 3 rounds . Bizzare scoring by the yank judge verging on nonsensical. Usyk’s movement and slipping was incredible . As for Joshua’s outburst, presume he was concussed ? Though don’t be fooled by AJ’s cuddly “ yes boss” exterior , he’s a moody one
