Anyone still "adamant" joshua beats fury?

ya fury was the real winner tonight wasnt he

Obviusly not, no..

Just know that there is many on here who stick AJ up as the winner v Fury,which of course is hilarious

Fury has nothing to do with tonight

AJ said before this fight "you will see the improvements that I have made"

What happened to his jab?

His best chance of some major quick cash

Easy cash. Easy win.

I tell you what, pretty shocking for AJ not to stick around for interview at the end. I didn’t expect that because I’m fairly sure he gave an interview after the Ruiz loss and took it pretty well.

KiwiRider wrote: ↑25 Sep 2021, 18:38 How close was AJ to being KD'ed in the 12th.
Looked buzzed and knackered.

10 more seconds

some people saying the last round ended 5-10 seconds early. true?

I gave Joshua only 6th and 8th rounds.

Looked that way to me

unknownman79 wrote: ↑25 Sep 2021, 18:40 Joshua no desire or power. He could have won so easily but he's not got the brains.

dont agree usyk is a class boxer , by that logic david price should be world champ , i think aj has done well because he has be fit in shape for all his fights i dont think he has ever been a class boxer no disrepct to him he was champ and i think he made the of his ability

Amazing how Usyk outboxed him,then out punched him and even shoved him around at times

That’s the broadcast clock, they’re not always bang on time with the officials ringside. That’s why they fade it away for the last 10, so people don’t think there was a mistake.

Eddie Hearn has said that AJ already told him he wants the rematch next...
He said it to TalkSport reporters...

i dont think so usyk was and is a better boxer than aj, but yea aj just let usyk dictate the fight ,but aj is expectable to being bullied , i was surprised usyk engine was so good tonight i think the year has helped build up natural weight which helped him keep his mobilty, as aj always been flat footed even watch him shadow box

Joshua needs to get back to school first.

Exact same scorecard and rounds that I had

That's the most generous you could score for him. 115-113 for Usyk was an robbery attempt.

Boxerbeetle wrote: ↑25 Sep 2021, 18:09 Joshua definitely got the tactics wrong tonight. Should have tried to walk through Usyk using his size, was never gonna outbox him.

Could’ve though with movement? Might’ve been hiring air

Its very weird on how he responds to losing .

he's finished, done

I honestly think hes more athlete than fighter joshua. He looked scared for the first 5 rounds. Guys from the past would have made mincemeat of him.

He was hurt in the 12th quite a bit, might have been a prudent decision to get checked out

deadpan wrote: ↑25 Sep 2021, 18:21 Lest we forget Howard Foster, the epitome of integrity, had it by just 2 rounds.

I have no idea how anyone can find five rounds for Joshua. I had it 117-11 and gave the close 8th to Joshua. He also had the 5th and 6th.

I think Joshua just wanted to survive the last 4 rounds. And if Usyk was in a routine defence rather than fighting for his first HW title, he could have ended that.

It hasn't been mentioned yet...

Usyk is 33... AJ is 31... You wouldn't have thought it tonight, Usyk looked the younger and fitter man...

I think that he has decent boxing skills - he can do the basics pretty well - but his main attributes are his size and power. He won't like to hear this, but he will always be glorified powerhouse... Not that there's anything wrong with that, but you can't make someone like a Mike Tyson in to a defensive wizard like Willie Pep or Floyd Mayweather...

AJ didn't play to his strengths...
