I want to believe truly this fight was a fixed match cos Joshua fought like an amateur�...
He is not aggressive.
His jaB was slow...
His right-hand was not well aimed..
He fought with fear and anxiety ..
HOW CAN SOMEBODY FROM CRUISCIAL WEIGHT CAME TO HEAVYWEIGHT TO DEFEAT U?
Is it this style he wanted to use to defeat the fury?? Joshua must be joking and I don't see him getting back the belt in the rematch ��
Agbaje fit beat Joshua self chai

greencard:


Maybe I'm new

Before Ruiz, AJ was unbeaten remember?

Before fury, wilder was unbeaten. nothing new again, anything thing can happen

But saying the "Only boxer" that can beat usyk is fury no follow

You misquote me.

When did I say so?

ORIENTATION101:
only boxing casuals will believe tonight bout is real.
That was not Aj. Ruiz droped Aj 4times in the first fight he won but lost almost all rounds in the second fight with thorough beating.
Aj is going to take any easy path to another record of 3time heavyweight champion.
Watch his last fight against pulev you will agree the fight was scripted

Let's see what will happen because tonight I don't understand and I don't even feel AJ fougt with someone at all.. the match must b a fixed match I swear ..

AJ simply didn't throw punches. He lacked confidence and I don't know why. Everyone AJ beat to get his belts were all unbeaten. Only klitscho had lost before fighting AJ. His punches simply lacked power and he couldn't even use his jabs which used to be a very good tool for him. He allowed Usyk get too.

Throw punches that don't connect will simply make you gas out.

That was Usyk's plan.

Chisora gassed out.

Bellew gassed out.
(He was almost dead on his feet, before he was knocked out).

You think say he easy?

Eventhough he was 'economical" with his punches, you saw he almost died after the final bell.

E easy?

Nawao

When guy man suppose train E dey follow cuppy Ikpu upandan dey snap pishure. AJ see ya life. See as one small boy beat you like say thief him kpomo.
Dem talk say you dey Dodge Wilder and the other guy. I believe am now because you be lazy fighter. Your shame dey shame me.

With his performance tonight, I am sure I can beat him if I put my mind to it.

sports general re entirely not the way we see it. A betting mafian can buy a fight to make money, the reason why boxing corruption doesnt leak is because they dont have a centralised authority each belt has different organization management.
Unlike football where ex fifa president sepp blatter was caught after selling out hosting rights to countries with highest bidders.

Aj is the biggest brand in boxing, the belt has to return to Aj for more revenues. Usyk cant sell out 70,000 capacity..

wizdomnzube:
Just finished watching this match on my phone and I can say that this AJ can never defeat Tyson Fury with what I just witnessed tonight.

Dude is boring and was outclassed by the smart Usyk.

Have u watched fury vs otto wallin? Watch it and see Tyson isn’t exactly as invincible as many think.

Aj lost to a cruiserweight ? E shock me o !

jaxxy:


Have u watched fury vs otto wallin? Watch it and see Tyson isn’t exactly as invincible as many think.

dont mind them fury was battared by a 50th rank Otto wallin, the fight should have been stop due to the badcut but they dont want fury to loose because the fight was a tune up fight for rematch of deontay wilder.

Fury have been dropped more times than Aj.
Steve Cunningham a cruiser weight dropped fury twice.

This Aj fight is purely fixed he actually didnt do anything throughout 12 rounds.

I keep telling them, this guy is over rated.. we all can see why he has been running away from wilder and Tyson... ordinary amateur with no record beat him up like pikin.. forget the muscles, Tyson or wilder will eat this guy alive

wimtex:
I have always said it that AJ can't face wilder nor fury. He has slow leg movement and can't evade punches. Wilder is similar to AJ but has a wicked right hand punch which scares opponents and if it lands it's almost game over for them. Fury is very cunning in the ring, he can evade, move well and he is very tactical in the ring with high ring IQ. That's why he has beaten wilder twice with the 1st bout robbed as a draw for wilder in the 2nd bout, wilder was smoked by fury who is very tactical. AJ is just not that technical and smart ring wise as fury is to know when to switch tactics if plan A is not working. Now you know why AJ refused to make the unification bout with fury work out, like wise against bronze bomber (wilder). He will keep dodging those two guys but will be beaten by under rated smart guys like usky, Ruiz. How can AJ explain that usky a cruiserweight moved up rank and without upto 10 fight at heavyweight weight class beat the then champion (AJ) who has fought more than say 15 heavyweight class fights!!

Do not forget the fact that Usyk has been fighting for over 20years and has over 300 Amateur fights, he is also an Olympic gold medalist he is skilled, has a very good boxing IQ and next level technique. He was feared moving up to the heavyweight they all knew what he could do with the south paw and speed in those legs, which makes his south paw not the normal south paw. Game plans won today, and clearly you could see the Usyk game plan was never to get a knock out, just continue to out box him for 12rounds. AJ has a better boxing IQ compared to Wilder and could use that against him, same game plan box and don't get box, for Fury he needs a KO to win Fury. Rematch clause would be activated, wait and see what the game plan will be..I for see an additional trainer for the rematch.

rottennaija:
What has AJ been training and posting pictures and videos all these while? He fights like someone without energy during the last stages

You think it's easy abi?

Pidginwhisper:
AJ is a fraud!! He doesn’t deserve to hold the title. He got rocked by a cruiserweight boxer from beginning to the end in front of home fans. He’s a disgrace to that division. He won’t last 5 rounds against either Wilder or Fury. Such a bum.

Nigerians supporting Nigerians, good one.

Aj problem is his trainer. Very poor and casual training Session I wonder what they are doing. Despite the disappointing outings Aj has had, the trainer doesn’t understand where Aj needs to improve, be calculative or adapt. The only thing the trainer corrected was how to keep distance and use his long reach and avoid getting into a brawl he can’t handle. The truth of the matter is Aj is slow. I don’t want to say lazy. And that issue and his poor combination punches can only be corrected from his training style. Bt it hasn’t happened.

This is the perfect analysis of what happened and that’s what calculative and less capable bt thinking fighter like Usyk will deploy to win. Aj’s trainers failed to prepare him for every scenario mentally. They only still use the corrections from his last defeat (Ruiz match) no improvement or winning style/strategy deployed. Why won’t he fail with his obvious weakness that any sensible boxer can read.

aj dis one na fk

Upton:
It was a poor performance from Joshua's end though. I don't think he is good enough to face Fury or Wilder. Usyk outclassed him

Wilder will bury Joshua

It's high time AJ works on his confidence, he's always scared when facing more experienced fighter, being scared is cool but allowing it get in the way is bad.

Joshua needs to sack his coach. What Usyk brought in was not unexpected. Usyk has good boxing IQ, has had numerous bouts, but should still have been knocked out by AJ tonight. Usyk was really hard to hit because he kept moving but a good coach would have prepared AJ well enough for that.

What AJ simply ought to have done is come closer to the left side of USyk at 45 degree, let Usyk throw the the right, block USyk’s right punch with his left, and then unleash is own counter and deadly right.

Afriqan:
I believe this loss has everything to do with his training camp; a pure technical deficit.

It's obvious his coach McCracken can't take him to the next level of his career and he played according to the script all through the fight. If AJ must evolve, he needs to change his coach and reinforce his technical team.

I am emotionless, I am not shocked, but I won't blame AJ much. Usyk outclassed him tonight, 70-30, no cap.

Yes, he needs to change his coach. I wished he had done that since.
It's this same coach who coached the British Olympic boxing team when she should have been in camp with AJ.
AJ didn't have a plan B for Usyk. I had expected him to brawl with Usyk. He should have gone for knockout earlier in the fight. Secondly, why did he loose so much weight ?

What did he expect after prostrating to Sir Failure?

You’re mostly right, he is the third not second. David Haye was second.

HBB1:


What's special about Usyk?

The only undisputed Cruiserweight Champion asides Holyfield?

...and like Holyfield thrn became World Heavyweight Champion, after just 3 fights?

What you smoking bro?

Nigerians are the worst. Always full of envy. Instead of them to encourage the guy to focus and train harder so he can bounce back, they are laughing at him calling him a fraud someone that has only lost twice. SHAME ON ALL OF YOU. AJ avoid nigerians like a plague (they are never worth it) focus and train harder. It's only two losses. Muhammed Ali lost more than two times in his professional career. Change ur coach. Hire lennox Lewis coach or other renowned American coaches, you are heavyweight champion of the World, not of Britain.
BTW, why is AJ so lean??.

Why e com be say na this short boxers dey outsmart AJ? can AJ even withstand retired Mayweather? Nawa o,his fights with Ruiz and Usyk is really disgusting.

He will rise again!

Lol it wasn’t fixed. Aj preparer physically bt not mentally for Usyk, Joshua sleeps on his feet, Usyk thinks on his feet. Aj once again too relaxed and unprepared. No winning strategy to defeat his opponent.

Aj can and should win bt he trys to play nice guy in the ring and only reacts after been bashed. Very wrong boxing cos ur opponent can do damage or outbox u.

Aj should have caused damage to stop Usyk from outboxing him.

davodyguy:

I already did, could not find anything of such happening in Nigeria.

You said he came to Nigeria to do that.

Show the evidence

It was actually in the UK it happened.

rottennaija:


Exactly. I used to rate this guy high, but he doesn't seem to impress at big stages.

That's the sad truth

Thatwasepic:



He better not go for a rematch cuz if usky beat him again he is not getting fury or Wilder again, this is not Luiz ,usky is assured

Seems like you don't know Joshua well. If you do, you would know that he would definitely reactivate the rematch clause.
