Doubt that i'll see such a boxer in my lifetime again, Usyk is something special, a legend already.

I’ve had AJ in this one so hats off to Usyk and I’m becoming his fan. He made AJ look like boxing bodybuilder.

I wouldn't bet against Usyk vs any heavyweight.
I'm a converted fan

I should have trusted my gut.
My gut said this fight would be like Spinks V Holmes, but my heart said Joshua would impose his size and strength and win a close one.
Hats off to Usyk; a truly outstanding fighter.

No blame on Joshua. He'll come back better.
Certainly looks like it now.
I half wondered whether he could have stopped Chisora if he'd wished but this was an incredibly paced heavyweight fight.
Right now Usyk is the best heavyweight on the planet.

They got the scores right, but bit of a dubious ending.
Rang the bell with 6 seconds to go an Joshua defenseless against the ropes

We need Fury-Usyk.
Yet for now the king is still the Gypsy one.

Anthony Joshua says he enjoys a challenge. He's got one now.
Bring on the rematch.

Re: Anthony Joshua vs. Oleksandr Usyk - September 25, 2021
Usyk is hard to bet against but Fury is a different heavyweight breed, tall, lanky, streamlined, and unpredictable... so bring it on whatever the rematch says!

I guess some people will say AJ is gun shy, but Usyk was ridiculously fast.
Incredible head movement.

AJ is exposed now, except winning by sheer force, all of his flaws and fears are on full display.

AJ is where the money is. You saw the crowd.

Fury-Usyk can be not smaller.

Re: Anthony Joshua vs. Oleksandr Usyk - September 25, 2021
Great analysis by RJJ, evenhanded and gave Joshua credit for what he did right, while saying what he did wrong and what he has to do to win a rematch. Called Usyk the real deal, and wasn't even a Holyfield reference lol.

Re: Anthony Joshua vs. Oleksandr Usyk - September 25, 2021
After the outrageous Campbell Hatton scorecard, I feared the worse for Usyk.
I’m delighted the right man won!
AJ foolishly tried boxing the master boxer. He hasn’t got Oleksandr’s work-rate, engine or skill-set.
The Brit kept making the same mistakes and deserved to lose.
