If it happens Joshua has to go for the knockout and as you say that leaves him susceptible to being knocked out.Sounds like he will go for the rematch, i can't see anything other than an Usyk win in that, most likely via knockout if AJ goes nore aggressively. Id prefer to see AJ fight a couple of others before going after Usyk again but i don't think he will go that route. Would love to see Usyk v Fury once he's battered Wilder again.

I just don’t see how Joshua beats Usyk based on last nights performance and I know I’m a bit of a Fury fanboy but he would embarrass Joshua.
Where does Joshua go from here?
scoring always a lottery. Always here commentators going on that different judges like different things (eg number of punches vs quality of punches vs types of punch etc). Shouldn't be so subjective. American liked Joshua for the 2nd too, only Ukrainian gave Joshua 4th - I thought he lost all 4.The fix was on until those last 4 rounds...
Foster should be investigated, how on earth anyone could give AJ the first 2 rounds is ridiculous.

It’s an amazing place isn’t it. Felt completely different to what it does to football.Great article by Bunce below. I’m struggling to see how AJ wins a rematch (if it happens) unless he fights to his strengths….even then it’s a long shot. I thought before the fight it was a 50/50 and wasn’t overly surprised with his fight went apart from I thought AJ might just go for it after 4-5 round - I wonder if Ruiz 1 defeat is still stuck in the back of his mind though ??
Still had a great time. Amazing stadium !
He was gifted that gold medal at the Olympics, watch the fight again and tell me he won it. He was a business project at a time when Heavyweight boxing was at it's lowest. Nothing but a hype machine and a cash cow for his promoters. He won his Word title against Charles Martin ffs!!I don’t like all this fraud bollocks. He’s an Olympic gold medalist, won various belts and beaten a load decent heavyweights after taking up the sport at 18 ! Yeah, he’s maybe made more than his skills/ability warranted but good luck to him.

Glad he's been figured out and the boxing casuals can stop wanking over him.
He’s not a fraud but he’s been majorly overhyped by the media - the idea of him even having a chance about Fury has always been a joke.
Usyk will be a massive favourite in any rematch. Joshua might have a chance if he puts his bulk back on and imposes himself more effectively, but that's a tall order against someone as good as Usyk. Assuming Joshua loses any rematch and Wilder gets smashed I really hope we see Fury v Usyk as that could be something special.Will be beat him?

I think that since the Ruiz fight he has become too reluctant to let his hands go, he was too concerned about getting countered to really try and boss Usyk around and use his extra weight to full advantage. It seems like he just didn't listen to all the advice he got from people that had already fought Usyk and it will be interesting to see what changes in the rematch.Usyk is very technical boxer who has as much pedigree as anyone competing today. However, he was cut up worse than Joshua despite having our boxed him.
Joshua has become too conservative (since around the Parker fight) and is seemingly more content to outbox someone and win via decision than to KO someone. Against Usyk, he needed to land more adventurous combos than the ‘1-2’ he tried to throw all fight, even when it was obvious he was losing badly on the scorecard. If he tags Usyk with some hooks or uppercuts, he has a good chance of winning. He should be too too big and powerful than Usyk.
I will admit that I am a casual and someone who wants to see KOs so my opinion is limited.

Agreed.
Joshua was roundly bested by Usyk. But, there was a few shots that did hurt OU and his face suggested as much. If AJ loosens his inhibitions a bit and throws dangerous combos, his chances improve.
The clock on the screen might have been a bit out of sync with the clock ringside? But I prefer the thought that Eddie bribed someone so his cart horse didn't get stopped again.Anybody else notice the bell went early in the last round when AJ was on the ropes not guarding?

That's Eddie with his top off.Look at my video above, someone in AJ's corner was waving the towel.

Towel has to get thrown in
