Joshua v Usyk 25th September - Tottenham Stadium

[Rotten Apple]

Usyk-Wilder 2022

[Alpha]

Good afternoon gentleman.

Thought I'd pop in to say how proud I am of Usyk. I thought the injuries & wear and tear might have been taking a toll on Usyk, as well as the added weight.

I never doubted his heart & skill tho.

That was a clear unanimous decision. I had it 8-4 Usyk.

Congratulations champ.

Keep happy and healthy everyone.

I also had it 116-112 for usyk, great performance by him, questionable tactics from Joshua trying to outbox him :S but usyk fought great and took the power well.. I did think it wasn't a total whipping and Joshua did land some good stuff on usyk too but every time it looked like the tables were about to turn usyk found more energy and came back great. Good plan from him starting quickly too I was skeptical he could last the whole fight like that but he did great...


punch stats if any one cares.

That was the biggest head scratcher. AJ showed no urgency or want to actually impose all that 'size' while risking return fire and think it speaks to that whole mental make up thing. Again, dude it just wound too tight. Have to think Fury runs a bigger chance of tripping himself up now too. Usyk is at the wheel now, fully earned brilliantly executed.

Tyson Fury view a day before the Usyk fight.



No way that I see Usyk wanting Fury, perhaps Usyk vs Whyte?

Thx fellas. Even the AJ fans are impartial. Can't wait to see this.

[smashup]

AJ wobbles and hurt in the 12th round after starting well.

7-5 AJ

You either related to AJ or you can't score for shit

Epic fail by the racist cunt that is Master
Once again he's proved what an utter cunt he is with not a single ounce of Boxing knowledge.

7-5 AJ .... 😂😂😂

HAVE A FUCKING YEAR OFF FFS

So far I agree with Roy Jones commentary. Aj should take the fight to Usyk. I also like the fact that Usyk keeps his lead foot on the outside of AJ's. clear sign of how clairvoyant he is of ring real estate!


Too bad that AJ comes across as he is- a nice guy. So he will be considered fodder or a gatekeeper. He is anything but that. I peg AJ to beat 90% of HWs in his way. Usyk is in the 10% range!

[SlimTrae]

Swelling under both Usyk eyes tells me AJ was landing hard. Uysk is a war machine, so it didnt matter. Jeez I would have loved to seen a Prime Holyfield vs this guy. They would have thrown bell to bell until someone succumbed.



I wonder if anyone thinks this version of AJ could have beatan the guy that beat Holyfield aka Riddick Bowe fight one? I think AJ has the tools, just lacks canine instinct.

What a masterful class of boxing done by Usyk.
Fury called him a one trick pony and after watching 10 minutes of the post press...when asked if his eye had not closed on him what would he have done different.
he replied- continue the process.
Yup a one trick pony.

I'm not sure if there is a HW to beat this guy. Fury is the only one to challenge him skillwise & tenacity. Fury is weird in that he is tough as hell in the ring, but can fall apart outside of the ring. So if he can maintain himself in between fights, this would be a classical chess match.

Again I dont think Fury wants to test this Usyk.
At all.

[SlimTrae]

Fury must be pissed!!!!

Pissed x 2

As in Ruiz & now Usyk LOL!

I know Bud Crawford made that case after Ugas-Pac...said he felt sad...it wasnt him. I appreciate his honesty!!

I'm 1/2 way though watching it and thinking the very same thing.

Fun is that my version- commentary is about 10 seconds off from the video! I agree with Roy Jones commentary so far. Usyk feints causing AJ to do feints but it aint working.

Plus I have never seen Usyk use so much head movement. Usually his D is via that high left guard and using lateral movement.

A great boxer won the fight, Bravo !
Both showed class before and after the fight , a great win for boxing.

Very skilled match. Unfortunately ESPN doesn't think so. They got MMA headlined. And undeneath the women's MMA fight is the HW boxing championship

Just watched the 12th round. I feel a bit embarrassed for AJ. So many things done wrong. Or not well enough?
Not sure I can say exposed because of the guy he fought had a ring IQ high enough to show what Aj lacks in.
This was no easy feat. Though at times it looked to be an effort that did NOT require Usyk to give 100% I say he looked to be giving 95%ish!! LOL!


Post fight Olek did say there were times where AJ pushed him (I agree) his swollen eyes proved it- yet he made it known -IF NEEDED Olek had one more gear. Another level. But he didnt even have to rise from the canvass let alone find that final gear.

AJ pushed his jab out all night. I saw no authority in his jab. NONE.
He kept feinting -after he saw Usyk do it, what for?

After 8 or 9 rounds I would have expected for AJ to adjust to that str8 left, but he just kept bringing his left hand up to his face as if that was where Olek was landing. He was landing that left str8 down the pipe.

That 12th round to see Usyk coming forward, taking the fight to Aj and AJ decided to (allow) himself to get backed up to the ropes, that didn't look too good.

[Mark TKO]

Just on train back from Liverpool. Hungover as fuck but saw the fight thankfully.

Wheres master with his bullshit predictions. Really thought usyk would stop him late.

Serves them all right for not making the fury fight. Maybe that can still happen if wilder lands the bomb.
