Anthony Joshua is absolutely furious with this decision.

"You are not skilled, how did you beat me?" Joshua tells Usyk.

 

That's not what he said at all

 

He said "Strong" not "skilled" ****ing amateurs

[AjcW]

He’s gone full Kanye. Christ 

[Finnegan]

I mean he literally went from being his best mate to acting the fool in the space of 20 seconds. Scripted af. Absolutely guarantee it's to try and get a third fight and 100% it was planned. I hate this side of boxing.

Was he auditioning for the next series of Top Boy?

Proper cringe mode 

[EnderbyFox]

And I thought that judge scoring it 115-113 to AJ would be the most embarrassing part of the night 

[foxes_rule1978]

Did AJ seriously thought he won that fight  

[chuck'em]

AJ just lost all of the respect he had gained from the way he fought 

[Guest BlueBrett]

It's alright Leon will represent us much better in a few hours

AJ throwing his dummy out. The facade of his good guy image has finally slipped. Usyk won the fight easily, not even close.

[Finnegan]

AJ Wilder would be a much more even match up than this. More suitable style for both of them. Neither going to lay a glove on Usyk. 

 

I'd love to see Usyk Fury and AJ Wilder. 

[foxfanazer]

Usyk V Fury has to happen

[Guest nathan.]

AJ went gangster

It isn't.

 

A professional boxers/fighters ego is unlike anything else in the world.  Losing sends them to extremely dark places.  We saw that there.  

 

Can't imagine what it would be like for a man who had the world in his hands before fighting this guy.  

 

I feel sorry for him I really do.

Yeah would be a very good undercard fight

[Finnegan]

Genuinely can't believe some of you are buying in to that AJ reaction like it was real. It's pantomime boys, it's an entertainment industry. They're trying to milk hype to promote future fights.

Behave. 

[trabuch]

You know. With all the dancing and lights on the walk out, and the histrionics and the weigh in fights and that. And the weird judges decisions. And the dodgy betting. And the Saudi Arabian venues. And the record breaking ppv. You might almost think boxing wasn't really a sport like it used to be.

When was it ever any different?

He lost it, but didn’t do enough at all… Usyk handled the early pressure and then just outboxed him with ease

His corner was telling him leave the flag alone before the decision was made he told them to shut up. His head was all over the gaffe.

Not sure that was scripted, like the comments on Ukraine and prison.

You are not skilled, how did you beat me?" Joshua tells Usyk.
 

 

 

 

Does Joshua understand the noose he is putting round his own neck by saying this?

[foxes_rule1978]

Joshua shown to be a total **** he is 

[BlueSi13]

With hindsight, Joshua should have just gone for the blitz from the very first bell (what a lot of people expected to be fair).  Three or Four rounds of shock and awe.  Usyk was shaken in the 9th.  Could have he sustained the power and pressure?  We'll never know.  

 

But he left it too late.  Dead on his feet in the 10th and Usyk just took over.
