A strangely impressive performance by both men. Crucially, AJ is getting to him with the single heavier blows.
I still fancy AJ to wear him down now. He's getting every closer and landing to the body. He's having more effect. Usyk fights like he has to.
Joshua is only still in this because he is so big that Usyk can't really hurt him and because AJ needs just one shot to win it. He's been comprehensively outboxed throughout imo. MTF
AJ hurt him BIG to the body there, and if that round had a bit more in it......... Still, AJ lost the 9th. He needs a stoppage now or multiple KD's
Joshua cant fight moving right/anti-clockwise...commented on it before but its killing hin vs a mobile southpaw
AJ's face. Can't see the straight lefts. He's got to fuckin GAMBLE when this guy steps in to take him out nail him!
Discrepancy in skill levels is massive. An absolute chasm. It's like watching a novice against a seasoned pro. Joshua has been absolutely schooled. MTF
SO FAR. But yes, if Josh pulls it out, it will require commendable praise on our behalf, but it won't change a jot the fact that he has been utterly fucking schooled.
This would be the robbery of the decade of they somehow give this to Joshua. He got absolutely brayed. Brilliant performance by a brilliant fighter. MTF
