Did Joshua really lose the Usyk rematch?

[Silence]

He would KO the midget easily or win by UD if he kept attacked his body.

He stopped to hit his body all of a sudden and got outboxed in the last rounds.

I give him a pass on the Ruiz trilogy, simply because after Andy's abysmal showing in the rematch, nobody would pay to see a 3rd.

Tough question on a 3rd with Usyk. I think he would have rematched Usyk, as the public would have demanded it. It's not like he could move out of the weight class to avoid it.

joshua has never avoided any fighter win or lose and that’s one thing you can say about him......fury seems to be the one who is not fighting the best of the division and seems to be avoiding usyk.......if the wilder fight happens it would only be fury joshua didn’t fight and when joshua was champ before the usyk fight the fight was signed and sealed only for fury to then go and fight wilder....as for the usyk rematch joshua did lose it was close but still a win for usyk

What a silly thread. It was 117-111 to Usyk. Maybe 116-112 if you are very generous to Joshua. He did a few things better than the first fight but Usyk still beat him very comfortably, pretty much the same way and by the same margin he did last time around.

Did you get passed the title of the thread and actually read the first post?

A fighter who is as tall and as heavy as Big George Foreman was in his prime in the seventies = a midget?

Somebody watched way too many nonsensical Fury interviews.

Which part of "It was 117-111 to Usyk. Maybe 116-112 if you are very generous to Joshua" was unclear as a refutation to your statement, "It really was fairly close"?

I could only find 6 clear rounds for Usyk (though I scored the fight 116-112). My point was, would you have accepted a draw or a Joshua win if the "professional" judges told you that that was the way it was?

It would have been the wrong decision, imo, to have it scored a draw but would it have been a robbery?

He gave an okay account of himself but nobody would have brought it as a legit victory if he'd gotten the decision.

[BodyBagz]

It's very rare to have have 3 people judge a fight the same way
The reason being vantage point.
They have the worst POV than anyone in the arena

Also, some judges like certain styles and favor INEFFECTIVE aggression over ring generalship

We better get used to this since boxing refuses to develop a universal scoring system or give the judges Hi Def monitors to watch the fight.

did he really lose?

well he sure as *** didnt win



haney-loma wasnt a robbery, it was a close fight.... now if AJ got the win in Usyk 2, that would be highway robbery
