Re: Joshua on the mic
Complete meltdown but worse was fornicating Usyks belts out of the ring. WWE stuff.
Hearn and AJs team should have stopped him making such a spectacle of himself, because he tarnished a fairly good performance.

Re: Joshua on the mic
his emotions clearly overwhelmed him and he lost control of his ability to follow a script
Re: Joshua on the mic
One of the most astounding things I've seen in ages
he's getting rinsed on Twitter. The belt throwing and overall ignorance ('I don't know what's going on in Ukraine, but it ain't nice') was just embarrassing for him.
Shame this'll gloss over a very decent performance from him.

Re: Joshua on the mic
Exactly as you say. People won't remember that he was very competitive and courageous in the second fight with Usyk, they'll remember that he lost again & threw the toys out the pram.peter barlow wrote: ↑20 Aug 2022, 19:40 Complete meltdown but worse was fornicating Usyks belts out of the ring.

He's already getting ridiculed all over twitter, one meme comparing it to Delia Smith's let's be having you rant lolcpx2 wrote: ↑20 Aug 2022, 19:42Exactly as you say.

I think AJs a prick but you can understand the meltdown a bit, I'd say he's utterly devastated at that defeat. The AJ train has came off the tracks.
Re: Joshua on the mic
I genuinely can't wrap my head around it. The throwing of the belts? What's that all about? What possible motive could he have for that?peter barlow wrote: ↑20 Aug 2022, 19:48He's already getting ridiculed all over twitter, one meme comparing it to Delia Smith's let's be having you rant lolcpx2 wrote: ↑20 Aug 2022, 19:42Exactly as you say.

Even the outburst I genuinely can't understand - it was as if someone told him he should show respect to Usyk for his brand, yet it sounded genuine, but extremely bizarre?

"What's happening in Ukraine isn't nice"
He's gone full David Brent.

Re: Joshua on the mic
Why did he throw the belts out the ring in the first place?

He's always given me the vibe of being a child in a mans body.

“Why don’t you throw combinations like Rocky Marciano” quote isn’t getting spoken about enough tbh.

Re: Joshua on the mic
Leading the extremely confused and unenthusiastic crowd in 5 rounds of “hip hip hooray” is probably my favourite AJ moment ever.
Re: Joshua on the mic
He needs medical attention.
What’s that weird laughing about?

Re: Joshua on the mic
its funny when a dude tries to be tough and in the face of a guy who just beat him in a boxing match, as if he hadnt just got an opportunity to beat his ass and failed

Re: Joshua on the mic
Surely concussed, hopefully he gets medically checked out. Joshua talks shit at the best of times, so can’t expect him to make much sense straight after a 12 round fight.
Re: Joshua on the mic
I hope one of the outlets gets Eddie to try to justify his behaviour..Obviously not Party Line Bunce.

Re: Joshua on the mic
Is this what happened???
- Angry about something… most likely the decision (or maybe something said to him)
- Reacts by chucking belts and walking out
- Someone on his team tells him this looks bad… This guy is fighting for Ukraine and, by the way, it’s just bad sportsmanship. Think about the brand.
- AJ grabs the microphone in a panic to try and right the wrong. That’s why he bigged Usyk up and gave us his blistering insight on the war. Then a little attempt to save face by explaining he lost because he doesn’t weigh 14 stone.

Re: Joshua on the mic
The fella was emotional, exhausted and prob concussed, give him a break, he fought his heart out.

Re: Joshua on the mic
I was watching from a pub with Karaoke. At the same time as AJ's rant, I was in the 6th minute of listening to two pissed up, middle-aged pudenda singing Meatloaf's Paradise by the Dashboard Light.
It was the AJ rant that made me.leave the pub and drive home

Embarrassing stuff. Not much more to be said.
Re: Joshua on the mic
It was all certainly very strange , but when you.ve been getting punched in the head for 12 rnds of an heavyweight , its not suprisingg strage things happen ,,, what i could'nt work out, was he complaining about losing thinking he'd won or was he admitting he got beat by a better boxer ,, all strange , his corner should of ushered him out quickly
