At last we can move on to the undisputed fight (i hope)

AJ gone ballistic, clearly the realisation his world is over is getting to him

I tuned in late. I saw the 8th and up, stream went out on the 12th. 8th I gave to Joshua, even though it was close. 9th to Joshua, and then Usyk got on his toes and that was that.

I literally can't believe there was only one paid-off judge.

Hearn is slipping!


Still, this is one of those fights where the loser's career might actually benefit from his performance.
I've never been an AJ fan, but I just became one.
(Also with him holding the Ukrainian flag like that. Massive props to the guy.)

Eddie will serve him up a bum in December.

What's AJ playing at here, he lost, it's not his night why's he taking over?

 

[Ar558a]

Nice that AJ paid tribute to Usyk. Shows he is a class act as person if he aint a good enough boxer.

I’m in fucking shock at that display in the ring from AJ there!!

(in reference to his meltdown after the fight)

As long as he doesn't start singing "Sweet Caroline," I'm good!

 

[KO-KING]

This was a close fight, I had it fairly even going into championship rounds, where Usyk ran away with it, but much better from Joshua

It was a great fight and kudos to both. But how does AJ benefit from that? The third loss on his resume reduces him to second tier. Plainly Fury and Usyk alone at the top now.

No two time champ should accept "second tier" he should retire. Otherwise it looks desperate.

He's only 30 y-o, and clearly the best he's ever been. Imagine after another year with Garcia?

And Usyk was all wrong for him. There are very few other HW, even the younger guys, that could beat tonight's AJ.

He still has a career, if he wants one.

AJ - Wilder?

AJ - Hrgovic?

even AJ-Fury.

All are massively interesting fights.

Your prediction (poll) was spot on good call

Things are desperate now. Thing is does he step up, bite down on his gumshield and accept the challenge? Or just retreat into retirement?

I hope he takes up the challenge and tries to rebuild and I agree there are plenty out there he can beat. But thoughts of him fighting Usyk again or Fury and expecting a win aren't realistic IMO.

AJ bizarre speech at the end. Seemed to be having a mental meltdown
