This is shit
People who've watched enough of AJ and Usyk knew Usyk was by far the better boxer, AJ is a stiff robot who only has power in his favour.
Usyk is a machine and comfortably beat AJ tonight.
Unified cruiser and now heavyweight champ, guy travels to everyones back yard and beats them....fair play.

Where does this leave Fury-v-Joshua?
He has to wait for Wilder to lose, then beat him which is 50-50 since they're both reliant on their hail mary right hands. Then the money and just about plausible hype will be enough to get the fury fight made. But if he goes for a rematch in the deluded belief that he'll win the titles back, he'll get knocked out and then the fury fight will end up happening on triller in ten years time for a fraction of the monies. Probably on the undercard of a jake paul fight.
Really?
Losses to both McCall and Rahman.
Fought a champion cruiserweight (Holyfield twice)
Even you can connect a dot to dot on that comparing to Joshua's career so far.
Lolz.
Lewis got caught with a punch from back when even low level heavyweights were terrifying. Joshua got the shit beat out of him twice, because both times he was totally out of his depth and levels below his opponent. But do continue pretending it's comparable. Did you go woke or something? What happened?
Last night wasn't a beating. Usyk out boxed him. But if Usyk went for the knockout there was every chance Joshua could have caught him flush. As I said originally I had it 7-5 Ruiz could understand the 8-4 scorecard too.
Edit - I will say that Usyk could probably have gone up a gear too. It was a controlled performance.
Joshua avenged his defeat to Ruiz in a similar style to how Usyk just handled Joshua.
But ok. Do continue to ignore good things Joshua has done.

If AJ doesn’t beat Usyk in the rematch there is no Fury fight and he probably should retire.
I'm not ignoring the good things, I'm ignoring your comparison to Lennox, because one is a pretty weak boxer who has been exposed by and struggled against far too many fighters. I'm not complaining, it makes his fights generally good to watch and he has used his power to rescue himself and win the belts and the monies so he isn't complaining either. But I don't get how you can even remotely compare him to one of the best heavyweights there's ever been. You're insane.
If fury beats wilder, he will still offer a bone to AJ. Money talks for all British bout. Fury will out box him and also Uysk.
Think this fight confirmed, to me anyway, and that is AJ is not a warrier. he hasn't got a nasty bone in his body. Been a few, Bugner, Harrison, few others. They fight at length, dance around, they don't or won't risk a toe to toe real battle. Their lucky Mike Tyson isn't around.
I expected this from AJ. He wants to walk away from boxing a rich man but with his faculties all in tact. Don't blame him but bound to catch up with him and it has..more than once.

The downfall of Joshua is great, overhyped in the media and by those who ignored the fact that he largely beat absolute plodders on his rise. Had his ass handed to him multiple times now. Done & dusted and ready for a career on A League of Their Own.
I'm bored with boxing. The only boxers worth watching recently for me were Golovkin and Lomachenko. Golovkin's career is pretty much over ever since he got cheated in that first Canelo bout. Lomachenko had one meaningful fight with Teofimo Lopez, which Lopez won to be fair. But in the old days, we'd have seen a rematch or two of that. Instead they're both off fighting some non entities. What's really the point? The best rarely fight the best, and when they do, they take years dodging each other and negotiating the rematch.
Just watched the rerun. AJ just didn't mount one sustained attack throughout the fight.
His jabs were powder puff. His right hand punch was deliverd without any forward body movement. You try swinging a golf club without body movement and the ball goes only half way. Something not quite right about that fight.
I have strong suspicions about pro boxing.
