Comments Thread For: Oleksandr Usyk Rocks Anthony Joshua, Boxes To Spectacular Decision To Win Heavyweight Titles

[HandsofIron]

Loses to a Fat boy and now a former Cruiserweight? AJ is overrated.

Edit: Actually, AJ is not overrated, he's a bum.

Hopefully there is no rematch that fight ****** ****. Aloof AJ with no balance vs pooty cruiser boxer. Both fought like scared cats.

Who was the judge that scored it 115-113 and which fight was he watching?

[Kiowhatta]

I'd like to add that A.J didn't look as big as he usually does, despite him coming in 8 kilo's heavier, and being 3 inches taller with a reach advantage. Those who claim A.J is just a 'Body Builder' who boxes are just trolls.

Although A.J made a mistake in not taking more risks, allowing the fight to develop into a boxing chess match, he did give one of the best Heavyweight boxers in a long time a difficult night.

A.J had difficulty with Usyk's tremendous upper body movement, feints, and footwork. When he did have some success he didn't take full advantage and go after Usyk. Where was the jab, straight to the body, left hook up top? He seemed content to poke out a range finder to deliver the right hand and not much else.

If A.J had come in bigger and been ready to get up in Usyk's face with uppercuts and hooks he would have been taking a risk, but there would have been a big chance Usyk would've hit the deck - Chisora does not punch as hard as A.J. I don't even recall seeing a 1-2-3 from the champ. Very disappointing.

Oleksandr Usyk, came in as Marvel's 'Mysterio', he vanished with the IBF-WBA-WBO world-titles.

I very highly doubt it, but for anyone who was ****** enough to miss the fight for no real reason other than ONCE AGAIN completely forgetting big cards in England are frequently going on the air hours earlier than they would if held in the States, or any other dumb reason, much like the moron typing this did, and you've no DAZN membership, here's a good copy of the fight with the Brit commentary crew. All you gotta do is remove the spaces in the link then copy/paste and enter

Joshua just doesn't have it in him mentally

[champion4ever]

I thought mandatories dont got rematch clauses? How did Eddie a.k.a "The Snake" a.k.a "AtHospitalwithBillyJoe" Hearn throw that in there?

After these losses to Ruiz and Usyk there is no way in HADES that AJ will ever fight Wilder. AJ is the type of fighter who likes to hang around mid range and jab around, perfect opponent for Wilder. Wilder would end his career at this point I believe.

No he won”t go anywhere near Deontay Wilder at this point. Which was why Eddie Hearn and Matchroom had been protecting him from Wilder.

It was mentioned in the build up that Usyk is the same height and weight as Ali... after Ali defeated Foreman (which was considered v unlikely...) Ali said "maybe now they will call me the professor of boxing" ... I think there is an argument for applying that to Usyk today.
