Was a pretty strange post big fight day. As predicted the initial actions of AJ and his follow up expressing regret were all..literally all..the talk from what I've seen. Aside from a clip of Usyk at the airport he's been relegated to secondary news in what is and should have been celebrated as his biggest night and his highest high at a time when maybe he as an individual also outside of the ring needed it the most given what he's seen back home and represented over the last 6 months. Watching the unedited full aftermath there's one thing that's clear, his professionalism and genuine character may be the only things bigger than his actual skill on display. AJ is going to have to shoulder this for the rest of his career. And frankly needs to be reminded of the entirety of it. I'm not down with beating a man repeatedly over the head when they implode and rage like that after it's acknowledged it but that's just the start. The last thing he needs is to be talking about is fighting anytime soon. He has some big time some soul searching to do.
