The Truth
Just seen the rant… it was unnecessary, but dude definitely needs to take some time off.

He had a point, he hasn’t been boxing since he 5 or like most prospects or champions.

AJ definitely has had some issues in the past and I think this was his meltdown moment. High off adrenaline, anger, frustration, etc. he needs to break for a year like Wilder did and get his mind right. Get a therapist, get back in the lab, work on things he failed at and get better at the things that made him a champion in the first place.

Nothing to be ashamed of… he has had a great career. Meltdown wasnt nowhere near the shyt we’ve seen from others either

I think AJ's corner telling him he won every round set him up for that major breakdown too. He must've felt he won most rounds. It's sad to see a breh have a public breakdown. Hope he heals up.

He doesn’t set anything up bruh, Ive seen enough of Wilder to :scust:at his basic boxing skills.

Plus, I never said he was the worst.. I said he was the worst HW champion with his basic boxing skills.

That lil flick of a jab not fukking with Usyk

Come on breh I get the gist you think Wilder is big trash but if you dont think hes elite at setting up his power idk man. You cant just randomly hit anyone with more than passing boxing ability with flush straights and he did it several dozen times.

His overall skills are lacking sure but hes definitely setting up a majority of his KOs. His jab is basically used to blind or move the guard hand out of the way…you telling me thats not setting up the KO lol?

I thought AJ did clearly better than in the first fight, he sat more on his punches and he only lost to 7-5 to me. His stamina couldn’t be up for the task though, it is what it is… after the 9th round Usyk sweeped the rest and it decided the fight.

Hats off to him for pretty much always fighting top 10 opponents unlike others but Usyk is just better, AJ couldn’t make that difference in experience disappear afterall

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.

It was a great fight. Both guys fought there hearts out and left it all in the ring. Joshua wasnt aggressive enough and fought at the same pace he did in the first fight. Scored it 8-4 USYK, who was just a different class. He's truly skilled and sublimely talented. Bring on FURY!

You know what I feel his frustration

He was wrong to react that way, but it’s still raw for him and you can tell this loss has really affected him.

Yeah I dont think there's anything malicious in AJ's behaviour, he just seems kinda lost spiritually and mentally. He needs some new people around him

Just finished watching the fight after a very busy Sat and Sat night...Joshua did much better..landed alot of straight shots, hooks, and the body punches. The 9th round was great for Joshua but Usyk and his movement, angles, and slick counters was there all night.
