Usyk is very, very classy and that was an amazing performance but I think he gets beat by Tyson Fury in the most boring fight in heavyweight history which is 90% Fury hugging and smothering him

Waiting for the decision I was tense. Worried that they were going to give it to Joshua or perhaps hedge their bets with a draw.
Relieved that it went the way it did 4/5 round victory is spot on. Had it gone the other way I am not sure I would have bothered watching anything in the future.

Fury is a far cleverer boxer than AJ.
And will come in about 3 stone heavier than usyk... you can't dance around with 19.5 stone on your back

AJ has a great physique and is strong but is technically very limited - Usyk completely outclassed him in the last few rounds and made him look very ordinary.

Agreed, fury beats aj all day every day
But fury for how great of a boxer he is, would get himself involved in a firefight with Joshua. Just how fury is.
The only person I see beating fury is fury himself.

Not sure what AJ does now - the fear factor has certainly gone.

At least against Ruiz AJ could say he got caught with a lucky punch.
What can he say to this? Other than he's just not as good as Usyk.
Joshua got beaten up by Ruiz throwing and landing combinations nothing to do with luck, he fucked him up over a few rounds, a bad beating
I'm over the moon for Oleksander Usyk truly great boxer and has done it the hard way and showed up every single one of Joshuas limitations, I gave Joshua 1 round and think the scoring was still too close but at least they didn't conjure up a draw or a Joshua win

Yes but the media spin was 'unmotivated', 'he caught me behind the ear so I lost equilibrium'.
There's nothing with this one. Just got handily beat over 12 rounds by a better boxer.

A lot of it is about timing - AJ came to the fore when there weren't many decent heavyweights about. Once he fights somebody with a decent technique he's in trouble...
Chisora showed how to at least make Usyk uncomfortable, rough him up, use natural strength and size and swing in brutal hooks. Usyk could see Joshuas predictable jab coming all night

Glad Usyk wasn't screwed over on the scores, deserved it ny a mile from what I saw - different class of boxer to Joshua.
Joshua looked so sluggish.
Relieved that it went the way it did 4/5 round victory is spot on. Had it gone the other way I am not sure I would have bothered watching anything in the future.

I think Fury beats him fairly easily though. But what a beautiful fight that will be.

Half true, but the issue is Usyk will likely be even better and more confident in any rematch.
Problem is (as mentioned already) he's really not as good as he thinks he is.
