Never had the courage to approach a sista due to the BBC rule.
I am not going to humiliate myself when she whips out the 00244330.jpg
Ironic how the pic pretty much tells my story
This is a tough fight for me. I like both guys but I think Usyk has the answers.
Usyk is too talented to get caught with a big shot and I doubt he is going to be reckless.
I don't think AJ can win a UD or KO Usyk.
Joshua is looking for excuses like last summer just before the Usyk fight. His confidence is low at this point like last summer. Only now he knows what Usyk can bring. https://www.***************.net/2021...-andy-ruiz-jr/
Usyk clearly won the promotion last week. Joshua left the ring while Usyk stayed in dancing and throwing punches. Joshua looked like a loser already not throwing any punches in the ring or anything. The winner of the fight is always last to leave the ring. Usyk is in his head. Can Joshua shake that off before the fight? Unlikely.
Usyk clearly won the fans over also. They seem to love him over there.
I still don't believe he'd have been stopped in that exchange. Usyk was wearing him down but he was never in that kind of trouble. He wasn't exactly playing rope a dope... but he certainly wasn't dazed and hanging onto the ropes. He was smiling and, I suspect, exhausted.
Ok, we obviously seen different things. That's the nature of observations, thanks.
It's pretty much what happened, it's good that he's identified that and I get that it can be difficult to tell what's happening when you're in the middle of the chaos of a world title fight but he honestly thought he was winning? He had no idea that the fight may have slipped away from him? Someone really had to tell him? His body language from the 9th round was that of a defeated fighter, he seemed to accept that he'd lost before the result was read out and didn't seem surprised that Usyk got the decision.
He's either making excuses or he really hasn't got a clue what's happening and needs to be told every step of the way: he was asking Rob what was happening in between rounds during the first Ruiz fight, he was asking Clifton Mitchell for advice on his way to the ring for Usyk and now he's saying he felt like Ali and didn't know he was losing?

For a guy that looks like a beluga whale to fight through adversity and will himself into a fight, it’s a disservice to say him and AJ are similar.
To fight at a medium pace is fine if you have the skills and cat-like reflexes of a Floyd Mayweather, the bottom line which you seem to have ignored, is how can a highly paid pro boxer get fatigued? A guy that was not 30 when a pudgy Ruiz manhandled him.
It is absurd and ridiculous to see that.
Fighters get fatigued all the time mate.
Your post is dramatic, and over exaggerated Joshua's condition.
His endurance is good, just not elite. That is just the way it is etc.
I think a rematch clause is a good thing. I just don’t like it when champions go out like Canelo, AJ, and Kambosos did and settle for a loss knowing they have the clause.
All I ask is you do at least what Loma did when he knew he was down to Teo- risk getting KO’d in the 12th by trying to ko Teo fight rounds 8-11.
