Yep.

AJ fought a great fight, looked to be right on plan but Usyk a rare breed and pulled it out in the 10th.

Lot of armchair experts in this thread.
I think Usyk's rally completely discouraged AJ and put him back in panic mode. Maybe if he came out swinging in the opening seconds of the tenth he could've deaded Usyk's momentum. I had doubted AJ's chances mainly due to what's going on in Ukraine. I knew Usyk was coming in with that extra something like when Buster beat Tyson after his mother died

Can't say I disagree with Peter Fury here. AJs gameplan had not evolved that much from the first fight. He was still standing in the center of the ring, still bending his knees taking away his height advantage, still not using his jab, still trying to throw power shots from the outside. The only main difference was that he went to the body a lot more in this fight, but still not enough IMO. Starts talking about AJ at around the 8 minute mark.
