Lovely words from A J, magnanimous inndefeat even if he feels he's been robbed.

Looks like AJ has lost the plot!

 

[LamieRobertson]

Sack the judge that gave the fight to AJ.

Crodo?

 

[Ethelwulf]

Fury would knock them both out on the same night

AJ should be embarrassed for himself after that. So should the judge who scored it in AJs favour, ridiculous.

"Lovely and magnanimous". Embarrassing was the word you were looking for.

Don’t feed the troll

Think Joshua is going to be feeling a bit silly about that reaction in the morning...

The silver lining for me, I watched on a free stream (I was going to pay the £27).

For much of the fight he was a punchbag, luckily Usyk didn’t have the power of a Fury or Wilder to send him to the canvas.

The punch count difference may’ve been a record for a 12 round heavyweight world title fight.

Surely AJ is miles ahead….according to Crodo he’s won nearly every round

According too Crodo ....................... oh dear, that's not hopeful then ......................

Yep won all 13 rounds

Interesting to see if there wil be a third bout. Eddie Hearn seems to think it will happen. A J showed his champion spirit tonight, Usyk would do well on Strictly seemed to want to dance more than box. The professionals obviously had it much closer than the gobshites who see one fight a year and think they're experts in the field of top level boxing.

It’s a Matchroom show though, right? The four rounder between the Qatari and Azerbaijani was totally unnecessary as was the scoring of two under card fights

I think it was a Co promotion but know for a fact that matchroom had no say over the undercard as have heard it talked about in interviews. Pretty much everything was signed over to the Saudis as part of the site deal which was probably why the whole event ended up being a bit strange!

He should be asked to justify his scoring watching the fight back.

Realise there's a lot of AJ hate - well, strong dislike anyway - out there, but I can't see too much to sneer about in this (from the BBC):

"0:20
'One hell of a fighter'
Anthony Joshua taking the ringside microphone: "Usyk is one hell of a fighter. That’s just emotion.
"If you knew my story, you'd understand the passion. I’m not an amateur boxer. I was going to jail and I got bail and I started training. If I got sentenced, I wanted to be able to fight.
"It shows the passion we put into this. For this guy to beat me tonight, it shows the levels of hard work he must have put in so please give him a round of applause as heavyweight champion of world.
"They said that I’m not a 12-round fighter. I ain’t 14 stone, I’m 18 stone, I'm heavy. It’s hard work. This guy here is phenomenal."
Speaking to Usyk directly: "I was studying Ukraine and all the champions from your amazing country. I’ve never been there. What’s happening there, I don’t know but it’s not nice. For Usyk to be champion, under those circumstances, please raise your hands."

The one fight I want to see if AJ doesn't retire is against Wilder. Wilder vs. AJ should have taken place years ago if boxing wasn't so corrupt - America desperate to cling on to whatever World heavyweight belts they still held (America, of course, regarding it as a natural right that the heavyweight championship of the world should not be taken outside America! - which apart from a few months in the late 1950s it hadn't been for 100 years untill the arrival of the Klitchko brothers and Lennox Lewis) so Wilder ducked the unification fight with Lewis (couldn't agree the money, wasn't it?) and went for the 'easy' option (they all though!) against Fury. Bad idea!

Quite meaningless now in terms of world championships (or those of any significance anyway) but I would like t see AJ sort out Wilder, just for ducking him earlier.
