O/T -AJ v Usyk

[JamesMcClean]

AJ inside seven for me here.

Lol. It’s like the Emperor’s New Clothes - I wonder who’ll be the first to be brave enough to put their hand up and ask ‘But, er, what about the shafted businesses?”

......mate just sent me a twitter clip of Eddie Hearn going into young Hattons dressing room and saying"ffs,how did you fluke that?" .......WOW

[JamesMcClean]

I’d give Usyk the first three here myself………..

[Whitfieldarab]

Outstanding bout

[JamesMcClean]

Well if Usyk doesn’t win this then there’s something seriously wrong. Does Joshua actually realise you’ve got to, ye know, throw a punch???

[JamesMcClean]

What’s happened to the AJ of his earlier days? The brutal ko’s? Going toe to toe with and taking out Klitschko? Latterly he seems to go out not to lose rather than go out to win. Is it that pr1ck Hearn’s influence? You do wonder….

There may be a clause but I saw nothing tonight that would suggest AJ would win a re-match. Totally outclassed and lucky he wasn’t even taken out in the final round.

Oh and edit to add - maybe it’s a blessing in disguise for AJ. Fury would absolutely destroy the Joshua we saw tonight.

Spot on. Ruiz was a freak result, this wasn't. The rematch will be exactly the same. AJ's simply too robotic for a guy like Usyk. He can't come in any heavier as it only slows him down and gasses him out the later a fight goes. Usyk was absolutely class.
