I never liked or rated AJ, and after that fecking charade, I don't think I ever will. What a colossal bellend. Get the feck out of the ring, you clown.

Personally still think he was too passive, until the later rounds
Yup but it was a lot better than his rematch against Ruiz and the first Usyk fight. I think this is the version of AJ we will get nowadays.

I think that was all AJ's insecurities that have been simmering since the Ruiz loss flooding out in one eccentric, strange outburst.

Maybe AJ was auditioning for WWE with his mic skills?!

For sure agree with that.

Joshua's parting shot about Rocky Marciano better than any shot he threw at Usyk tonight. Embarrassing. What an idiot.

I’m gutted now, I turned it off after the winner was announced. What did AJ actually do ?

:lol: really? How are people this bothered and angered by it. That was hilarious.
Not sure it was funny, more cringeworthy and a little concerning. Not something to get riled up about mind you

If I was Joshua I'd call it, he's got his money no need for more head Trauma. WWE would actually be a good shout, he's always had good speaking skills.

No-one is ever beating Usyk on points.

A mauling, brawling, leaning Fury using dirty tricks or a rejuvenated Wilder detonating his right hand would pose a greater threat than AJ. On the other hand, Usyk may have a plan for them, too.

That's AJ done.

Joshua doesn't have anywhere to go from here, does he?
Think he's had a good career, started boxing late at 18, championship after a few fights, unified and took risks. He's goes down in history as one of the best British champions.

Joshua cuts a WWE style promo in the ring after losing. Minutes later Deontay Wilder's theme music pops and he's running into the ring with his Money in the Bank briefcase. Wilder still loses mind because he's a bum but it was great entertainment.
