Boxing thread?

AJ is a nice guy, a celebrity. He's not got the anger inside him

Well deserved win for Usyk. TBH, I'm not surprised. Joshua is too slow with his jab and too straight on. Almost like a manufactured boxer such as Frank Bruno.

If Fury ever meets Usyk he will dismantle Usyk.

Another 'shock' defeat for AJ.

He really isn't as good as he's made out to be is he.

 

[riggi]

Bottling it in the spurs stadium jokes incoming...

Usyk is good.

 

[Flobadob]

Now the biggest hype job in boxing can end. It’s about time. He’s an average boxer at best. Slow and ponderous footwork. If Usyk was his size he’d have slept him within 6 rounds

 

[jackson]

AJ and his team kidding themselves that he can box, stick to your strengths let them hands go or get exposed

 

[mightyspur]

Disappointing from AJ. Zero aggression, no combinations. Usyk looks decent. Guessing rematch in the contract?

 

[agrdavidsfan]

Aj is just robotic he doesn’t have that natural boxing ability that the fury’s etc have

 

[cockjol]

I just think we’ve been living in a bang average era in this division for a few years but the hype has come in to keep convincing people to fork out money to watch it. I haven’t paid for a fight since I fell for the haye bullshit and watch him stink it up against klitschko

If only he was as good in the ring as Eddie Hearn is outside the ring.

AJ is a fraud. There’s a clear difference between a sarf London 'hardman' and someone who grew up eating radioactive potatoes.

Today showed how slow he is. He was so cumbersome. Also he did look like a rabbit caught in the headlights... Just looked totally strange.

His press conference was also a pile of blabber.

Just weird from him and expected more even if some expected usyk to be better.

Fury must be cracking up

Stadium looked good though ??

I don’t think people understand how good fury is, the man is natural boxer he does what usyk does at like 6ft 7 it’s madness

 

[tony0379]

He's lucky Usyk felt sorry for him and didn't send him flying out the ring with 10 seconds to go. He's a Chippendale that's all

 

[KingKay]

Fury would have absolutely tenderised him. Can’t see that fight happening now.

 

[Rocksuperstar]

Usyk looked confident coming into the fight, focused and went about business. Like others have said, few more seconds, Joshua would've been on his arse.

Fantastic win for the guy, absolutely bossed it.

No but I would love to see fury vs usyk.

 

[Frank Blank]

.... Guessing rematch in the contract?

There is and I'm guessing the outcome next time round will be the same. Usyk is a nortoriously slow stater. Not tonight he wasn't.

As for Fury, people underestimate his hand speed at their peril. He will jab Usyk within an inch of his life.

 

[KingKay]

Sure they stopped the the final round about 5 seconds early. Probably saved Joshua from ending the fight on his arse.

Twitter aflame not with "AJ is overrated" takes, but with "another Spursy performance at Tottenham stadium" takes SMH
