@@eliwood9906 whatever. Usyk has been studying AJ for at least 10 years, watching taking notes while AJ has been fighting mandatories etc. Usyk knows AJ movements well. So while he is very talented, he has had and taken the time to really study all there is to know about AJ. AJ on the other hand hasn't even had a full 6 months to get to know Usyk at. Usyk is not some god; he is very beatable. That is what happens when you are taking back to back championship level fights and taking on everyone. He was a good target for everyone. In hindsight, he should have been more strategic, dropped the WBO belt and let Usyk fight and defend it so he could have more info and see how Usyk fights more. Ofcourse, Usyk didnt want that, they wanted to fight him as it was easier as they knew all about him and more money. It's just sad that after defending those belts for so long, and trying to make undisputed they are taken of him like that. Good luck to him. He had a natural human moment. When he lost to Andy Ruiz people said he didn't care and he was too lackadaisical now he has an adrenaline frustrated episode people are also clowning him.

Agreed that’s why perfecting the fundamentals is probably the first things that should be taught and drilled at grassroot level.

He’s only been there a few times but Usyk thrives in the deep end!

@@theorangewarrior03 society includes women. You probably had a shoulder to cry on whenever needed. When you will cry,the society will listen, no doubt. Your girlfriends probably listen to you. Saw the news the other day, little boy got skipped over in school therapy, a week after his brother commited suic1de bcz a girl wanted therapy before him bcz she got less marks than usual

Why is it when someone shows that their upset, trying to hide their emotions their burdens are always labeled as "showing their true colors"? aren't the true colors shown by this man not enough? Just as Eddie pointed out he gives everyone his time, he inspires the next generation, he dedicated his life to the sport of boxing. THAT is his true colors, being upset doesn't mean you were hiding your true colors, it just means you're a person who feels pressure, who carries responsibilities and burdens. People don't give him enough credit.

[@estainfrank7685]

Nice one bro am with you with this🤜🤜🏿

[@p505c587]

The man showed his true colours. When he threw the belts out of the ring. When he walked back to the dressing room. When he then came back and shouted "how did you beat me. When he then snatched a mic an made an embarrassing speech about himself, stealing the spotlight. Then making a huge fuss over the champ,getting the crowd to cheer him. which was overkill and unnecessary. Someone with class would not act like a spoilt kid not getting their own way. I have respect for the man but after that myself and alot of people will have lost it.

[@rombenjamin]

@@p505c587 clearly you don't feel the pressure that man carries, you're not even a boxer, so how can you understand what that man went through. Who are you to judge what his true colors are?

[@rombenjamin]

@EP He ain't carrying responsibilities like AJ, the man supports both his home country and great britain as well as younger boxer generations.

[@rombenjamin]

@EP which is why I'm telling you how that man must've felt, its easy to comment and sit down on your sofa criticizing this man but it ain't easy being what he is.

[@Dan58711]

I think even after losing aj and everybody else should remember this is the man who brought boxing back to the masses in the uk,especially for the heavyweight division….he still has big fights to come.

[@manofknowledge1000]

He’s human he put his all in to it. He wanted to win and came up just short and was devastated. Hopefully it won’t be long before he sees the good of this 2 fights with usyk as the improvement from the first to the second was outstanding. His head movement, defence everything was great . Other fighters have come back from a lot worse than lose 2 time to usyk , the second time was very close and if Joshua could have landed a few more of them body shots it could’ve been different outcome as usyk couldn’t hide it he was definitely hurt to the body in this fight and believe he was doing his very best to hide it. Brilliant boxing match. Can’t wait to see usyk vs fury and to see Joshua going forward from this

[@Brodie11112]

True but that still doesn’t excuse the reaction he had after the fight. It was embarrassing and disrespectful

[@terro3842]

While you're mostly right it is debatable he can improve his cardio and muscular endurance while retaining his power. People tend to think he didn't capitalize on having Usyk hurt because of some psychological issues. Nonsense. The man was both gassed and his arms were pumped with lactic acid by 10th so badly you can see he didn't throw a proper jab in last two rounds.

A world class performance from Usyk. Well done to him.

[@farhaanmohammed7437]

What happened after the match was a shame but we’ve got to cut him some slack. The emotions were running high and AJ was clearly shook. He gave it his all and yet lost. Must be difficult to cope with. I hope it makes him stronger and wish him all the best. And Kudos to Eddie Hearn, what a gem. With Eddie by his side, AJ will overcome this💪

He's human, we all break at some point especially when you go so high and achieve so much. Fact of how he recovered from this says all you need to know about his character. Decent man, one of the Greats.
