Deserved victory for usyk.

Joshua was better than the last time but still disappointing.
 
Joshua completely gassed at the end, which was a shame as Usyk was clearly very tired too. AJ just can't keep up the pace required to beat him.

I'd back Fury to beat either of these guys, he's got the skills and fitness to match Usyk but with the physical advantages of Joshua.
 
Great to see the respect at the end from both fighters
 
Go for what?

There is no one there for him to go for when the opportunity would usually come. It is not a lack of will or effort.
Throw everything he has, most of it won't land but that's was his last chance and he didn't take it instead he clinched half the time.
 
Usyk is a great boxer but I'm not a fan of his fights

He fights a posers fight has the look of brute but is a technical sound boxer great footwork. Usyk really fights like a welter. I'd like to see him with a Ruiz / Fury.
 
Not sure why folk are disappointed in Joshua. Usyk is a different class, and given that's the case Joshua performed pretty darned well.
 
It was the American judge that gave it to AJ too. Even the British judge knew Usyk won this.
 
Yeah, dunno how you can give AJ 7 rounds. St most, being generous, you could give him 6...
