This fight is super weird. Zhang looks totally gassed after trying to knock Hrgovic out and Hrgovic appears happy to get punched in the face over and over again.
Score cards are handed in at the end of each round so AJs body language could only possibly have swayed the final round. And no one was giving that final round to AJ no matter how positive his body language could be. Just looked back at the video, it was Roy Jones spouting nonsense.
What is Overton doing? Banging the ball in on a featherbed at 80 mph. Root has to go, these tactics are beyond stupid. This bowling attack should be nowhere near test match cricket, either.
Finally out? Or not.
Catterall does not even win with a single judge if Taylor does not get that point deducted. Absolute scandal.
Joke of an undercard too. If this was a Matchroom card and result Hearn would be getting absolute pelters.
Never resurrected, just rebranded. This 'festival' has been a mess behind the scenes too, my wife works on this kind of thing and interviewed for a couple of positions but actually ended up being pre-interviewed by the PA to someone rather than anyone in any real authority. Who ended up asking...
That just isn't true though is it? World title fight in his 16th contest, yes Martin was a joke, but that is not Joshua's fault. Fought and beat Klitshcko, fought and beat his mandatory Povetkin who had only lost once, an unbeaten Parker dispatched. Beat Dillian Whyte who has only lost to...
Don't think Joshua believed he could hit Usyk with more than one punch in a combination. Usyk would have caught him had he done that. Agreed on the best man one comment. Usyk v Fury will be a dull fight though when/if it happens.
This kind of take is as boring as the AJ fanboys. Why do you feel the need to revel in his defeat? He seems like a nice guy, doesn't duck other fighters and is consistently honest about his abilities. A decent fighter outboxed by a superb boxer, that is what I saw tonight.
