Absolutely cracking fight.

I don't know where the last judge got the difference from!! Maybe eggington did enough but his face is busted!!

What about Valdez, as crazy a decision as there has been in boxing in modern times. No regulator has the sports credibility in tatters.

See Joshua 3/7 to beat Usyk (near 3/1 to win) next Saturday. Extremely dangerous opponent for AJ, fight to go the distance is 6/4 seems good value.

Toughest fight of Joshua career. So many permutations - Joshua's power could be too much for Usyk and eventually lead to a KO, or Usyk could simply tire Joshua and finish him in the second half of the fight, ut if he keeps Joshua from dictating the pace.

Usyk is some operator, great fight

Great performance by usyk, clear winner, at least the judges scored it correctly.

Great fight that. AJ playing for a borefest and Hearn needs to lay off the stupid entrance theatrics at the beginning of fights.

Usyk looked like he could have went another 5 rounds

StPatsAbu · September 25, 2021, 11:30:29 PM

Usyk could beat 2 Joshuas

AJ completely found out again, like so many of us have long predicted.. Usyk is phenomenal. Lomachenko but 220 lbs. His head movement is insane.

Yep. AJ a housewifes favourite but a bag of pish at the end of it

Everyone but the British media could see he was a big athlete but not a boxer and would get found out eventually.

I expected Usyk to win if he could fight at the pace that he did at CW, but was unsure if he could do that given his 2 performances at HW thus far and the fact that he was heavier again for this fight, I was worried that either his speed or endurance weren't at the same level they were at CW but he showed they were tonight.

Joshua is still a top 3/4 HW which maybe shows he isn't as bad as being spouted here. If we had a man anywhere near his level we would be doing OK and the Irish media/housewives would be lauding him too.
