    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.

    It all started with Usyk complementing AJ saying he was strong. AJ took it the wrong way and said it is skill that wins not size or strength which is true and AI does not have enough to beat Usyk.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Sure looked like that pressure cooker started as the decision was being read. Not to 'Zapruder' the vids but you can see it as he waltzed away from his entire team and vice versa. Man was adrift.

    aj was angry immediately following the announcement. he went over to loma & another guy in oleksandr's team & fist bumped them both, looked to be unusually hard. aj needs a bit of time off & he needs to get someone in his team that he respects & has his best interests at heart, that he can trust to tell him what's what, without the bullshit & blowing smoke up his ass. how fighters come back from loses shows me what they are made off & both times so far aj has improved, i think he regrets the end of fight outburst & behavior & hopefully he'll continue to work on himself. it's all we can do to try & be better people than we were yesterday
    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

    First of all, if you know anything about boxing you would realize that Usyk was not hurt in the 9th round and was just riding the wave.

    He made AJ gas.

    AJ was a complete muppet after the fight and his team were too scared to stop him talking.

    He is not the champion and had no right to rant after the fight like that.

    Wilder and Wlad lost their belts and never behaved in this manner.

    19 stone Tyson Fury can throw combinations so there’s no excuse from AJ.

    The better man won.

    Still some big fights for him out there if he wants them. Or Eddie can convince him he does.

    Wilder or Ruiz III but needs an easy one to get back into it. Arena fight

    It was a back handed complement from Usyk when he said to AJ that he was strong. He was really saying you are not skilled as me and you are dumb for giving away all your advantages. I would never be as silly as you losing twice to me.

    AJ obviously got upset and threw away belts that were not even his in the first place.

    AJ starts blubbering about how hard it is to be a famous multi millionaire living the luxurious life and having everything handed to him. Grow up you big baby and stop feeling sorry for yourself.

    Throwing belts around and generally making a tit of yourself is not a good look. Joshua made himself look a right Charlie. I don't have a problem with the verbal exchange with Usyk. Crossed wires, heat of the moment. They were both actually being complimentary to one another but with Joshua being steamed up the way he was it came out as if derogatory which I don't believe it was for one second.
    When God said to the both of us "Which one of you wants to be Sugar Ray?" I guess I didnt raise my hand fast enough
