Definitely not a surprise. Usyk is top level.
AJ was outclassed so a rematch could be disastrous

Why? He’s still bigger and stronger he just needs to remember that.

Why not?
Right…but he isn’t a good boxer lmao

Why?

I’d agree with that, credit to Usyk fought brilliantly and I think made AJ look ponderous. AJ seemed to be scared to let his hands go, great fight throughly enjoyed it.

Ok so you listen to what fury tells you? General opinion before the fight was that Joshua was to big too strong for him. He fought the wrong fight let’s see what happens in the rematch.problem is he's in a boxing ring with usyk not lifting weights against him in a gym

but Uysk is faster and smarter. Just a better boxer, it's not like he just got lucky tonight. Joshua going again is looking for a lucky KO. He'll have a punchers chance but thats all.
He should probably look for a last big payday but he's done as a top boxer imo. Heavy weigh boxing is generally the lowest quality boxing and big lumps like Joshua and wilder have got by on size but with two boxers like Fury and Uysk in the division they cant compete. Joshua's 3rd or 4th best at this point and is still to really have that big fight.
Go out swinging for one last big payday against a fury/wilder. If he goes again Uysk again he'll be bowing out on a whimper.

By that logic valuev should have been undisputed...
Usyk is probably not matched for boxing ability and tonight outclassed AJ in every dept. AJ has to really be careful about this rematch. Usyk won't pile the weight on

We’ll have to wait and see in the rematch.

It was the general consensus wasn’t it?
look usyk won and deservedly so but so did Ruiz so let’s see what happens.

Usyk outclassed AJ or valuev undisputed because of his size and strength?

Sorry you’ve lost me

I don’t get all the gate going AJs way. Yeah he’s lost but he’s hardly disgraced himself. He lost against the better man. No excuses will be made, he went 12 rounds and lost a decision. He won a gold medal for this country what have you done?

"It was a strange, almost hapless display from Joshua which leaves his legacy as one of the heavyweight greats in ruins"
Agree. Must admit to not having much of an appetite to see a re-match

Alright let’s entertain this then. How is AJ going to use the size and power to actually hit Usyk? Everyone has a punchers chance in the same weight class (we saw that with Ruiz) but it’s not a great game plan. Didn’t work for Wilder against Fury and he punches far harder than AJ.
Nobody is taking his gold medal away from him but that’s a completely different level to where he’s at now.

And bigger pay day next time around! Boxing is an art in more ways than one!
