Anyone Gonna Watch The Joshua vs Usyk Rematch?

[smudgersmissingleg]

Looking forward to this one and I really can't call it. Hopefully it'll be a great fight ??

Absolutely going to watch it. Their first fight was good and much closer than has recently been described. Usyk really slowed down in the middle rounds last time but turned it back on to get the decision.
I predict Joshua tries to maul Usyk and keep it close range. If that doesn't work, I doubt he will be able to make the adjustments necessary. Usyk should outbox him again and utilize the jab effectively to maintain space.
Final prediction is Usyk by split decision.

I also want to point out that the next rising star in the heavyweight division is Filip Hrgovic. Nobody wants to fight him right now for good reason

I didn't watch the fight (would have loved to) but by all accounts, Joshua shamed both himself and his nation after the fight.

Hats off to Usyk for an apparently well deserved win.

Tyson Fury next anyone?

Regards,

Jay.

At one time I was a pretty devoted fight fan but as I have gotten older I've kind of lost interest.

@seanv's prediction proved to be spot on!
Nobody could of predicted Joshua's meltdown afterwards though. He's an utter disgrace & deserves to have the book thrown at him. Hopefully we'll never see or hear from him again. No loss to boxing, whatsoever!

Yeah I watched it. Went down pretty much as expected. Joshua made some adjustments in camp and early on it was fairly even. Usyk had him figured out by round 4. Round 9 Joshua laid everything out and failed to hurt the Ukrainian and that was it for him. Usyk tried to go for the KO in round 12 but Joshua was able to counter him and survived. I had it 9 rounds to 3 Usyk.
A man shows his true character in defeat and not in Victory and boy did Joshua reveal himself in defeat. He threw his championship belts on the ground and stormed out of the ring only to come back and grab the Ukrainian flag off of Usyks back and go on a 5 minute tirade to a bunch of bemused Saudis about why he lost. Meanwhile the champion patiently waits and even asks for his flag to be returned off of AJs sweaty back while his corner cowers in the neutral corner.

Yah gee i remember Ali acting like that after a loss.

Some of these fighters are children that throw tantrums and refuse to give credit where do.

"A man shows his true character in defeat and not in Victory..."

How true.

Last fight of John L. Sullivan, "the last bare knuckle champion"
In the 21st round Corbett stunned Sullivan with a combination and knocked him out.
After finally not being able to “lick any man in the house,” John L. took the defeat gracefully. Asking to address the crowd, he said, "Gentlemen, all I have to say is that I came into the ring once too often, and if I had to get licked I'm glad it was by an American.”

Better be careful about your grammar. There is a troll on here that will check you on your internet typing. Haha

First caution. Get straight on your own writing.

Joshua is a dickhead. He does well at putting on his PC fan friendly persona but every so often his true character shows. His tirade after that fight was embarrassing. I was cringing listening to that.
If Joshua wants to continue he should make the Wilder fight happen regardless of the Wilder vs Helanius outcome.
Usyk vs Fury is the fight to make. It will take forever to happen but it needs to happen now.
What did everyone think of Hrgovic vs Zhang? What a slugfest. Hrgovic is still the next big thing in the heavyweight division but it may take longer than I thought for him to fine tune himself.

I hate to say it but it reminds me too much of how good I got at spotting head trauma patients. 75% of time (roughly) when I'd get a stupid tantrum like that I'd look at their bill and see some type of traumatic head injury. Then you compound that with fame and hanger ons. Yeah that's why I can't watch pro fights. Not against it by the way, they're adults who chose to make a living that way.

wait this isn't your first time on the internet is it? For some reason I thought it was. Good I can drop the list of things I was going to warn you about. I got up to Death Threats over pizza topping opinions.

You got death threats over pizza toppings? They got some weirdos out there for sure.

actually just threats over pizza toppings. You know for having the opinion that who cares what people like on their pies unless you're splitting it with them.

 

[smudgersmissingleg]

Joshua's behaviour after the fight was pathetic (dropping the belts) and his speech was cringe on so many levels. Made an embarrassment of himself.

Usyk v Fury would be an interesting match up and I hope it happens.
