Rys

He blew his load in the 9th. He had him. He was beating Usyk around the ring and it was all downhill from the 10th on. I don't understand how anyone can say that and make it sound like Joshua was on the brink of winning but somehow let Usyk make a lucky escape. It is widely known that the 9th round was all part of the game plan of Team Usyk. They knew that Joshua sooner or later would come at him like that and they wanted him to do so. They wanted him to punch himself out and Usk was fully prepared to weather the storm. Heck, they even predicted it would happen around round 8 or 9. If you watch the 9th in slow motion, you can see that Joshua barely lands anything clean as Usyk blocks or rolls with the majority of the punches. He was never hurt, he was never in serious trouble. It looked more serious when it happened live because of the heat of the moment and the commentators shouting etc. But when you watch it back, especially in slow motion and knowing how the championship rounds panned out it is clear how it was all calculated from Team Usyk. I have it on good authority that Usyk's corner was heard after the 9th saying "Okay, so it happened as we predicted - now crank the heat up, this is it" in Ukrainian.

What a silly thread. It was 117-111 to Usyk. Maybe 116-112 if you are very generous to Joshua. He did a few things better than the first fight but Usyk still beat him very comfortably, pretty much the same way and by the same margin he did last time around.

I guess Ruiz. His win over AJ was better than any of Wilders wins, and he did on paper beat Ortiz too although in reality it was contentious and Ortiz was 79 instead of a spry 56 like when Wilder beat him. But there is a valid argument that Ruiz actually beat Parker too. I think it's not even debatable that Ruiz's resume is far better than Wilder's. Wilder has always been a protected champion, beating up tomato cans and his fighting Fury was more like a miscalculation on his otherwise very protective management team than bravery or building a legacy or whatever. They simply thought Fury would be easy pickings and they got it wrong, that's all there is to the most impressive part of Wilder's resume.

Did you get passed the title of the thread and actually read the first post? Which part of "It was 117-111 to Usyk. Maybe 116-112 if you are very generous to Joshua" was unclear as a refutation to your statement, "It really was fairly close"?

He would KO the midget easily or win by UD if he kept attacked his body. He stopped to hit his body all of a sudden and got outboxed in the last rounds. A fighter who is as tall and as heavy as Big George Foreman was in his prime in the seventies = a midget? Somebody watched way too many nonsensical Fury interviews.

The little Russian ustiff will not win. More than likely will lose by knockout You seem to be the type of 5'9 180 lbs Average Joe who would soil his pants in the presence of that "little" guy. And you most definitely wouldn't dare to call him Russian in his eyes if you have any working brain cells and don't want to eat through a tube for a few months.
