    Good fight, not too much in it but right result. Better from Joshua who looked fit and rocked Usyk a few times but just not enough. Not reading much into the end of the fight scenes. Tired, emotional people can react badly at the end of an event.
    Looking forward to a unification fight with Fury now.

    Sorry to repeat, but if you know, then you know.

    If you have competed for serious events in any physical discipline, then you know you HAVE to show respect for your opponent, regardless of your feelings for the outome.

    I have lost bouts where I genuinely disagreed with desicisions, but I also have total respect for those more experienced than I am. That is why they are judges. So if I don't win, I don't win. Final. No tantrums.

    And yes, I might not be AJ, but I have fought for England in the European Championships. So yes, I do know what ot is like.

    i know about fighting and I also know about showing redpect for your opponent

    AJ just embarrassed himself.

    I didn’t respect Joshua before the fight but now he’s just a class a dick.

    Totally lacking in any class.

    He is finished. He can now go back to his mama house and count his pay check because this is hopefully the last time we see him.

    P.S Fury will best Usyk.

    How the **** did someone score that 115-113 AJ? What a disgrace.

    Luckily the only bet I put on the night was on Zhang Zhelei to knock Hrgovic down in the first 3 rounds. Won £60!!!!!

    Smart betting.

    ALL HAIL ZHANG! ALL HAIL ZHANG!

    Your lucky then because it wasn’t a proper knockout. He hit him on the back of the head.

    But them two where proper cloggers. Lol

    Smart bet all the same. Everyone was betting on Usyk KO, Joshua KO, Usyk UD, Hrgovic to KO zhang early etc, and none of them won.

    I feel like a smug ****er.

    Joshua showed his true colours last night and told the world he was a manufacturered champion that didn't know how to box .

    I’d question Zheng’s DOB, guy looks about 64 but claims to be 39……he definitely beat Hrgovic by a couple of rounds imo.
