of course you did, Eddie

BS, but Eddie is just doing his job as a promoter. Foster was not, and Usyk´s team will have to be really careful about judging in the rematch.

Joshua won some rounds early, he wasn’t as down as they made it on broadcast but he wasn’t ahead usyk was landing cleaner and more often. It was like 4-2 after 6 rounds.6-4 after 10. AJ landed and hurt usyk but just didn’t let his hands go once usyk figured out AJ wouldn’t go for the kill even if he was hurt he just let his hands fly and ran away with it

Please. the announcers were kissing Joshuas ass.

I don't know why they continue with the narrative "AJ lives and breathes boxing". He's a businessman first and foremost. Boxer is his image not his lifestyle.

Sure it was Eddie.

It was even after 8

according to the judges anyway

I had it the same way. 1, 3, 4, and 7 for Usyk. 2, 5, 6, and 8 for Joshua. I gave the last 4 to Usyk. Usyk was never hurt. Joshua was hurt in 3 and 12. Rematch will be very interesting. I'm curious to see how heavy Joshua comes in for the rematch.

Usyk swept the last third of the fight; The last four rounds to win the fight. After eight rounds had been completed the fight was basically a dead heat. It was even on the official scorecards but by the 9th round; Joshua started to complain about having vision problems with his eye and then Oleksandr pulled away after that.
