Nice body work by Joshua. He really broke Usyk's rhythm by continuing to to press the attack after hurting him to the body.
Joshua's BEST Round of Either Fight...Has He CRACKED Usyk's Code???... Usyk's MOVING, ABSORBING Shots for Most of the Round... 5-4 Usyk, After 9... REED
Joshua landed a peach of a right hand in the tenth, but otherwise got the shit punched out of him. Big Usyk round. Some turnaround from the ninth. MTF
Usyk BUZZED Joshua for Sure, Probably Even HURT Him...Joshua RESPONDS w/a Hurtful Shot of His Own... Usyk Back's Joshua Up... Excellent Action Round, but Usyk Whupped Joshua's Ass the Last 60 Seconds... 6-4 Usyk After 10... REED
Joshua is still landing good body shots but he's getting tagged now in between them. A lot. He needs a stoppage to win now. MTF
Joshua is punching from the wrong distance and Usyk is tagging him. Joshua landed a good shot but couldn't follow up.
Excellent effort from Joshua, but Usyk put it on him in rounds 10 - 12. Joshua had some good moments but the much better fighter won. MTF
Tough Round to Score... Even or Usyk's Round...Let's Call it 6-4-1...Joshua Needs a KO for Certain, Hearn, Saudi Arabia or Not.... REED
I had it 8-4 Usyk. Some of you blokes need to start scoring effective, rather than flashy, punches. MTF
I think both guys fought as well as they could have . Joshua was clinicked in the 10th,11th,12th.....the 8nly thing I'd say is he took the shots far better.
He wasn't early on, though. Usyk landed very little of note in the first five rounds. Later on, he really put his shots together nicely. MTF
Another 3 rounds like that and he was done..he can't do 15 rounds of that stuff. It was tattoo parlour stuff in the last quarter.
I only gave Joshua 3 or 4 rounds. He won the 9th clearly but the others were close. This feels like a 117-111 or 116-112 decision if you were very generous to Joshua.
