Joshua left in the gym

All credit to Usyk, great win, great guy.

Joshua did not look right from 20 secs into the fight, looked massively overtrained

AJ mentally folds. He was shelled up and hesitant the first 4 rounds. I saw the same look on his face in Ruiz 1. he gets shocked. He pulled it together mid rounds but still lose the last 2 solidly.

Imagine had Fury been in there, a guy with more height, more reach and fluid with stamina who can punch big when he wants to.

I find it hard to judge the performance, Joshua did not look right at all himself. There are times when what the opponent is doing can make a fighter look worse but in this case Joshua had no reflexes, no legs, no snap, no coordination. I think Usyk is difficult for AJ in any scenario but that was not the real Joshua

We seen AJ fold mentally with Ruiz 1, i think something similar happened. How often does he fight someone with the speed of usyk, he froze up there.

But i also dont see where usyk goes from here. I dont think Usyk beats fury, usyk-wilder would be interesting .Though if fury beats wilder again then really usyk-fury should happen but i really dont want to see it.. dont want to see usyk lose against him.

A.J. fought the wrong fight. He should've imposed his size and stay mid range and inside trying bully Isyk but instead he tried to out jab him and didn't play into his strengths. In the end Usyk fought a incredible fight so credit to him.

You're competently right.

He panics when things aren't going his way. His body language was not what you'd expect from a champion.

I think he's done. If I were him I probably wouldn't take the rematch and spend some time developing, confidence building and fighting a couple guys he should beat.

Then have one more go at it.
