9/25 DAZN: Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Usyk (WBA/WBO/IBF Heavyweight Titles)

[King]

yall Wilder fans like to gas up the Ortiz wins like he is some mythical fighter when the dude hasn't done much

let's not pretend that Ortiz refused to fight Joshua after an offer, Ortiz is the king of fantasy match ups but actually hasn't done anything

Let’s not pretend like there weren’t politics involved and things promised, but not delivered by your god Eddie Hearn.

The first offer was intentionally a lowball. There’s a reason why they never came back to the negotiation table.

I finally watched this shyt. I was busy the day it happened, and this isn’t a matchup that really intrigued me for whatever reason. I’d seen the highlights, but hadn’t watched the full fight until now. I was expecting a complete ass whooping by Usyk how people talk; but this was more so a high speed chess — 7-5 kinda fight. Usyk won the first 3-4 rounds, AJ the middle and Usyk got his second wind the last 2-3 rounds. I actually think AJ hurt Usyk several times. There was a punch to the body that sent Usyk to the ropes, and he immediately clenched afterwards. Anyways, I’m not a person that thinks AJ has no chance of beating Usyk. I actually think he can, but it will be contingent on breaking Usyk’s body up so he can’t get a second wind and hitting him more squarely. Usyk’s perpetual motion allows for him to take the zap out of a lot of punches. A rematch is a tossup.

Look at what AJ did to his face. No wonder AJ is looking for a different team lmfao. All AJ had to do was Bully Usyk and he would have won.

Yup. If AJ was out for blood from rd 1 he could have beaten Usyk. His big mistake was trying to outfox him and go for a checkmate. He knows it too.

This next fight he'll have to try and drag Usyk to hell and not let him out. Easier said than done.

the issue now is Usyk knows exactly how AJ plans on coming back and has felt AJs power before too.

Another bizarre AJ interview - now sounds like he's considering stepping aside.

The body punches were working...too tentative though. Sad.

Check who predicted this one perfect too.

Check the Ugas one too.

I'll make you rich if you look at my votes.
