I’m genuinely sat here knowing there’s a chance they give this to AJ. It’ll confirm it’s fixed :lol:

Brilliant from Usyk. He didn’t let the size factor in to the fight at all. It’ll be another rematch, but I don’t see how AJ wins.

The difference between a thoroughbred boxer and a big, strong athlete who learned to box.

Rarely watch boxing but why is AJ so hyped? Looks a shocking boxer, barely any combinations from him wtf?

But we already know Usyk is the better boxer; Joshua hanging with him is impressive in itself. Especially so with such high output.

Usyk has carried over into the HW's magnificently though, I must say. Didn't think he could do that.
Strangely he looked crap in his last fight.

Deserved. Superb performance from Usyk. Guess the undisputed fight has to wait even longer now with the rematch.

Very, very impressive from Usyk. Absolutely bossed it and looked like he could go another few rounds at the end.

Joshua was absolutely terrible, his corner needs its head pulling out its arse spending the whole fight shouting “brilliant” whilst he gets pasted.

Usyk is so fecking good. I didn't think he was big enough but who needs that when you're that skilled :lol:

I like the Ukrainian judge giving the last round 10-8 to Usyk. Refs should do this more often, there should be differences in scoring between rounds when you almost KO the other fighter, and those where you are marginally better.

Watching this explains why Eddie ducked Fury so long for AJ. Boxing like this, the undisputed fight would’ve been extremely one sided.

There's normally a gap in speed and skill between cruiserweights and heavyweights, and Usyk is as good as they come - pound for pound level. AJ should have gone hunting. He's a decent boxer but you can't outbox Usyk
