Don't think AJ was ever in it. Had no answers to Usyk's movement and boxing skill.

I think there was a spell in the mid rounds where he looked to have figured him out

Thankfully the judges agreed with me…

This fight was always gonna split opinion and it’s done that tonight for sure. I tipped Usyk to win weeks ago on here and said why, a lot of played out like that tonight.

A lot of them rounds were very close, a lot of those punches from Usyk were missing but his feet, movement and workrate is what made it look a lot more of a comfortable win. Not that my opinion matters and it’s only the judges but personally scored it to Usyk by 1.

Usyk was far too fast for him, AJ looked like he was fighting in slow motion.

Some excellent boxing from Usyk. If Fury beats Wilder, Usyk-Fury could be the match to make.

AJ was absolutely terrified to let anything go.

He’s clearly got reservations about taking a dig on that chin (which as we’ve all seen already is suspect).

I’ll say it again, embarrassing for AJ. Beaten by a fat slob and now beaten by a Cruiser (elite level fighter or not).

Said the same in round one. Every punch that lands on Joshua looks like it could knock him out.

Literally 2 rounds where Usyk took a breather! Gave them to AJ as a gift!

Made up Eddie Hearn has just lost his cash cow. Karma after that Hatton scorecard.

 

[GoldenToffee]

Absolutely shocked at Joshua's physique for this fight. Looked a good couple of stone leaner and not at all 'jacked' like usual, there was no power in his punches. Think he needs to put a little back on myself.

An all time great. A legend.

All the best to him.

What a wonderful fighter.

Don’t understand some folk say it was close

Interesting to see how he approaches the rematch.

Joshua has a punchers chance against a good technical boxer but catch-22 as if he tries to land some bombs he is leaving his glass jaw to be hit.

Too slow to react to anything Usyk did.
Usyk just outboxed him.

Not wanting to sound like Naseem Hamed here, but I think he should retire. Or sit out and wait for a superfight with Fury for one last payday.

Usyk P4P #1 now surely.

Fury batters that AJ
