    He's not a fluke.

    Teo boxed brilliantly against Loma. He imposed hiswill from the first round unlike AJ who allowed Usyk to take the initiative.

    And he controlled the distance perfectly and punished Loma every time he circled to his weaker side.

    That's great coaching and strategy.

      I really dont know. I just cant see a way AJ can win that fight now having seen the sheer skill gap between them. If he tries to put on weight and bully Usyk next time I think he'll just gas himself out and get pieced up just as badly if not worse as the fight goes on.

      AJ has never been risk averse though so he might just take that rematch. Obviously there will be pressure on him to put this right before he can move on too.

        It was a fluke and he knows the overcome in a rematch and that is why he keeps running away from Loma.
        By the way, give some credit to Usyk.

          Yeah, I'd imagine so.

            I agree.

            I think he definitely will. He probably needs to for his brand also, on top of wanting to out of personal pride and wanting to avenge a defeat.

            But for me, I’d take at least one tune up fight, this isn’t a Ruiz situation were AJ has to just make simple adjustments. AJ has to completely develop his game to beat Usyk IMO.
            Exactly right. Against Ruiz, Joshua implemented a plan to use his movement and reach for 12 but against Usyk there's no one 12 round plan to follow to get the decision. Adjustments will be made and Usyk's bigger boxing brain will win it again for him.

              If Wilder wins you know they won't be fighting outside the PBC tent

                AJ’s is likely gonna need his own “shot from the gods” to beat Usyk.

                  Yeah AJ just “allowed” him to box circles round him. Some of you fanboys…
