It’s hard to fully make sense of the aftermath from Joshua, but I certainly don’t think it was anything to do with sour grapes or a lack of recognition of Usyk’s ability. It was a bit like when you see someone pissed up, angrily complementing someone.

Joshua seemed to be trying to come to terms with being at his best ever, but still losing out to the better man.

In his defence he does get a lot of stick, but then after each fight he usually says he’s learning.

Thanks Ruthie, but I'm all out of cringe from the ring blather.
How they spin AJ on the mic will be too much for my ears

Hearn throwing out the “he lost an SD to the P4P number 1” already as if he was on the unlucky side of three genuine 7-5s.

Hate the sport at times. 10kg weight advantage and 3 inches and got dismantled with Sky pretty much missing most of Usyk’s clean shots and complementary to AJ’s constant missing.

Got beaten very easily. May have had better moments in this fight but the same can be said of Oleksandr. I had AJ winning 4 rounds in the 1st and 3 here. Apart from the mad flurry in the 9th it was never even debatable that this was competitive.

I knew it was coming, but i thought he would at least wait till people have forgoten the fight a bit... I had it 10-2... gave aj the 2nd (i think) and 9th. couple of other close rounds, but throwing around the SD shit meer second after your guy gets comprehensivly beat, its a classic play.

Feldman gave the last round to Joshua, when I think it’s clear Usyk won.

Has he given it to Usyk, it would have been a 114-114 and final scores would have a been a MD win for Usyk.
