AJ will treat JP like he's a fan of boxing and let him leave with grace

[ELPacman]

Since I just saw there were some replies here, I'll add, JP impressed me with his desire to win knowing he had every disadvantage. It's easy looking in the window from the outside and critiquing but let's be real, AJ is an intimidating figure. 99% of the planet wouldn't want to get in the ring with him. JP did, despite knowing his only chance was to run as long as he could and hopefully AJ tires out as well in the process.

The problem was the opposite happened. JP packing on the extra lbs to get up to heavyweight tired him out while AJ was natural at the weight and had no issues. Not to mention, I've complained about JP's stamina in the past at the lower weights. So it's always a thing and only worse when he packed on weight to close the gap between him and AJ.

The only victory I see is that JP didn't get flatlined like Ngannou whose a massive human himself. Perhaps the extra rds AJ had to go let there be slightly less venom on the right that dropped JP, but despite that, he still managed to split JP's jaw in half. I'm Okay with JP being fully conscience, smiling about it and being able to get up and walk away because I was actually worried for him in there.

Based on the size difference in the ring, my worries were justified. He looked like a midget compared to AJ and all you could do was hold your breath waiting for AJ to land something big on JP and seeing how he took it. I'd say, despite the jaw being smashed, it was his best outcome in a fight he couldn't win. He could of literally been rendered out cold or severe brain injury that he gets stretchered out of the ring.

it was embarrassing and nothing else

Jake was on his bike a lot, but he got in the ring, survived much longer than other cans.

its scary that the narrative is now how well jake managed to run for how many rounds, just not good, AJ himself is not even sharp hes got one foot in retirement as well as jake now whos got both feet & a jaw but AJ did more of a job than i thought he might do, i thought he might give him a softer stoppage a sort of hard sparring with jake just finding an ending himself but jake tried to make it to the end badly to say he went 8 with AJ at the very least gassed and AJ just wanted it ended so save his embarrassment so thats how it went

Yeah but still, I think it was pretty good from Jake. He looked OK, but was overwhelmed by the sheer size and power. It was a mental challenge that he could not overcome when he finally stepped into the ring. I think he deserves a lot of credit for showing up and challenging himself, as all of us boxers have pressed him to do. I feel like everybody got what they wanted from this fight.

yes i agree everyone got what they wanted, it being over that is

plus a bad jaw now for jake im sure thats not what he wanted

but he rolled the dice with his boxing run & ended up with the big AJ, its what he wanted and what he did, jake has zero chance of beating anyone decent let alone good and big, its stoopid as a result but its jake stoopied as he planned it

Unfortunatly you might be right. Jake is not gonna beat Usyk. It's tough to accept it. There's simply not enough cardio in him to really tackle the elite. Looking back at it now, it almost would have seemed better to go in there and go to war and get KTFO'd in a round or two instead of trying to outrun the inevitable.

ill clear that up, there is not enough cardio in him to out run the elite, or anyone half decent most likely, which he is himself, a half decent kind of amateurish guy

its tough to accept kinda means u might be invested in this guy and his journey, i salute u if thats the case i think, i could never get onboard with someone like him, he shook things up a bit ill give him that but it was only a matter of time before this happened, the tommy fury fight should have been a wake up call but he somehow managed to paper over that one i think he fought less high profile guys on cards that were not heavily publicised if i remember right & got his wins and then hes back once again, id say hes gone for good this time tho
