    Nah it’s damage control I reckon. Matchroom/Hearn will build a narrative that AJ is now fighting some unbeatable monster so a potential second loss is less damaging to his brand. You could see the commentary team shifting the chess pieces mid fight when they realised Usyk was in full control, suddenly Usyk was being referred to as a “P4P great” and every other superlative under the sun. It’s all narrative building.

      Suddenly? Usyk has been on alot of ppls P4P list for a while now. So so many ppl believe Joshua would struggle to beat Usyk after what they saw in the 1st fight but when Eddie Hearn says it its all building a narrative?

        I was one of the people who believed AJ would win it easy. I believed this based on Usyk's performance at heavyweight so far and on AJ's past.

        My prediction was incorrect because AJ didn't come to fight. Had he come to fight it would have been another day at the office. Usyk was struggling against Chisora, now imagine if AJ had put similar pressure on him? A much stronger and bigger man than Chisora.

            Eddie Hearn knew all along that AJ's reign would be short-lived after the Whyte fight when his conditioning and skill problems started to surface. Rather than Mcracken working on developing his skills, and overall fitness, they wrapped a bubble around him so no criticism could filter through just to milk him a bit more before the inevitable fall. AJ needed some tough love, a proper trainer and sparring partners that mauled him, cracked his chin so he was gritty, tested and ready for a war - instead he went on some soft, weight-watchers programme, media tours, lucozade, daft slogans that mean **** in the real world and when he needed to be in beast-mode he was found wanting and couldn't even fathom why he "felt this way" after being clouted for the first time.

                AJ is taller but he isn’t bigger and likely isn’t stronger than Chisora. I’ve seen them in the same room together. Chisora is a big dude man.

                  AJ is going to knock Usyk out. Usyk is being overrated as some monster who can’t be beaten. Absolutely ridiculous, I saw Usyk just about beat AJ who had the wrong tactics and had a very off night

                    I can not wait to see what strategy Joshua uses in the rematch. I think that Usyk vs Joshua 2 will be a GREAT FIGHT!!!!
