Everyone talking about what AJ did wrong, blah blah blah, Usyk was just too good.
Exactly💯
Usyk Was outstanding and is still criminally underrated
@@fredw3425 only by non boxing fans.
Exactly. Usyk’s a far superior fighter.
@@MT-rz7py Agreed, establish what!! Impose what!! Jab what!! Usyk made everything hard for AJ, AJ new what to do, his corner told him what to do, But Usyk negated it all, simply, an elite boxer AJ lost to the grand master boxer Usyk. Fury and AJ is still 50-50, Usyk beats them all, period...
I think his coach and corner should also take a fair share of the blame for tactics. McCracken/Joby was shouting "Brilliant AJ, Brilliant, for all 10 rounds"
12, he was even shouting it right before Usyk almost took Joshua out. Was very annoying.
He was just trying to get Joshua to the final bell and put the rest in the hands of corrupt judges. Joshua had no chance no matter what he did, he was outclassed so their only hope was to fool the public into thinking he was doing well. If Usyk hadn’t have turned up the pressure in the last few rounds and hurt Joshua multiple times we would have seen a robbery. I think Usyk might need to knock Joshua out in the rematch to get the win. Hearn will do anything to get those belts back.
Joshuas finished. Careers over. He can hire a million trainers, it doesn’t matter. He’s weak minded and has limited skills. He’s finished.
He needs a new trainer to many people round him but he won't hasn't got time to do that needs the return said himself "get back on the gravy train "can't take a warm up fight case he gets flopped needs tony bellew on the firm told him what to do he did the opposite
@@garywheeley5108 Joshua is 32 years old, and very limited technically. A new trainer won’t change a thing. He’s not getting better and he’s mentally weak since the Ruiz loss. He fights scared now. A new trainer can’t change that.
Eddie’s pound for pound number 1 is always who ever fits his narrative best 🤣
Same as Warren
Nah, Usyk is just that good. He's probably the best cruiserweight of all time.
"AJ beats Fury"😄 Fury would have literally killed AJ this weekend.
Agree,,,! Fury has same style as Usyk but much bigger and more power. Work the ring with good foot work, duck ,weave, jab blah blah blah ..Its obvious for those that know =) So looking forward to the day Fury meets Joshua. Eddie Hearn would be a good second hand car salesman selling you a a car with lots of power but dodgy engine bearings and a soft suspension.
@Jay Jose let’s catch up after the fury AJ fight haha
Sometimes people need to just congratulate Usyk on the great performance rather than trying to pick out what AJ did wrong.. Usyk was just too good on the night.
Not just too good on the night, too good for AJ overall - he will drop him in the 2nd fight, he stunned him like 3-4 times on Saturday 😂 AJ is not beating him in a million years
Joshua just hasn’t got the skill set - he never has, just look at who he’s boxed up to Usyk.
@@vladutene599 I’ve noticed that too. People just don’t understand how good Usyk is.
You are right there. I already knew AJ ain't what Eddie says he is. He needs a slow pace to win. He's an on top fighter, once he's faced with resistance he crumbles!
AJ is a good but Usyk is better skilled boxer. AJ was simply outboxed.
Almost took Eddie seriously there until he named Charles Martin as a hard fight 😂
It was a hard fight... for Charles Martin.
I walk this earth like a Cod 🐟
Charles Martin still has a better boxing CV than Tyson Fury
That Charles Martin came for a payday. Charles Martin now is a tough fight for anyone outside Fury, Uysk and AJ level.
@@psychopaul508 🤣🤣🤣 dont talk utter shyte
"he can box twenty times better than that" No, he can't.
ahahahah finally aj is done couldnt box his way out a paper bag jfc
@@ForzaNapolI1875 coming from a nobody good one
@@ForzaNapolI1875 AJ is a world and Olympic finalist......an Olympic gold medalist....he can obviously box...and probably outbox most heavyweights in the world....he cannot out box a master boxer in Usyk.....he tried to beat him at his own game.....it was a mistake from the start.....
AJ can box better and he can fight better.....he should not be trying to outbox Usyk....
@@thebomber5028 AJ is stink as bro

Of course he’s going to be devastated? Wouldn’t you be. Doesn’t mean he’s sulking does it
@@amymaria3860 you can’t be devastated without sulking they go hand in hand
@@amymaria3860 by the way I wanted Aj to win
@@geordiebomber69 lol, such a stupid comment
@@geordiebomber69 Well that's just not true...
The tactics AJ and his team used was the equivalent of a UFC fighter deciding to try wrestle khabib and win.
this is a cracking take fella
No its not you absolute casual haha. Usyk is a master technician and controlled the pace of the fight with excellent movement and feints. He kept AJ thinking at all times and boxed the head off him. Simple as that. This is not mixed martial arts. Its BOXING.
@@johnmccormack2046 /whooooosshhh!!
@@johnmccormack2046 it's gone over your head.
Absolutely true... Nobody can out wrestle khabib in MMA similarly nobody can out box usyk in boxing..Even khabib said Fury and usyk are the best boxers of this era. The only way to beat them is to KO them(Mike Tyson's style)
Hello I'm from Ukraine. When I watched the fight, I was in the mood for good boxing, and thought that Usyk might lose. I think AJ was not ready for this speed and pace. In Ukraine, they are discussing that the American judge was more accurate in calculations. Usyk danced the "Ukrainian hopak" at the end. So he still had a reserve of strength...
Usyk won by 8-4/9-3. English judge Howard Foster was way off with 115-113
You have a very, very special athlete representing your country. Enjoy him and his talent. 🇺🇦 🇬🇧 🤝
I rate Ukrainain fighters so much but I’ve seen Usyk win in a more difficult fight than this and I thought that AJ gon hurt him even tho I know what Usyk has done but this fight was disappointing because none of them had to show their top skills
Congratulations to the Ukraine and your champ. The Ukraine has put out a number of really excellent boxers in recent history, it's good to see. As a Brit I went to see Loma Vs Campbell and was happy to clap Lomas win (despite dominating our guy).
@@chrishealey9303 115-113 is only one round off 8-4 so how can it be way off😂
Eddie again avoiding the bleeding obvious, the judging of the Hatton fight was dodgy as fuck.
Eddie was lying out of he teeth then. He thought Usyk would be a walk over after the Sissora fight.
Campbell Hatton fight was a evil robbery.
LOUDER
Disgusting. That's what people should be talking about.
Money talks. Always has and always will
Campbell Hatton got battered the poor lad, don’t want to be too harsh on him but he doesn’t look like he’ll be good enough to even win an area title.
Well he is from Manny, its one thing to plaster a loudmouth near the printworks on a Saturday night after a few and another to go in a boxing ring and fight pros and win convincingly. He might as well just stick to the former.
I literally heard Rob Mckraken saying to AJ in the second half of the fight “Great stuff great stuff AJ, keep him behind the jab, don’t worry about the right hand that will come.” I have never heard such awful advice in all my life. How can all these highly paid boxing brains get wrong what even the dumbest casual fan can get right. Did AJ seriously think he was the better boxer?? He may be a better fighter but everyone except his own camp knew he wasn’t the better boxer!! Shockingly bad game plan from AJ and his camp. Shocking. His team need to be sacked.
That wasn’t rob McCracken shouting
The man with his keyboard in his hand. Get a life you loser. It's the game. People win. People lose. Life. Maybe make a comment when you have actually got the minerals to go in a ring toe to toe.
Yes men just like Wilder's camp. AJ also seems to nice to fire them all or blame them.
@@rickin2g You must be new to this,,, lol
It was rob Mckraken telling him to stick behind the jab when AJ was 5 rounds behind, it was mckraken who offered no plan b, no call to throw caution to the wind in the championship rounds. Corner advice and gameplan could not have been more wrong.However Usyk was immense, thats what we should all be talking about but because of all this its actually taking away from usyk here which is wrong
Eddie clinging onto the dodgy scorecard here of there being just two rounds in it. The gap was far wider, but that’s always a worry in a rematch as fuck knows how someone whose opinion counts saw that masterclass as a close fight.
He said 8-4 after the fight and now he changes his opinion again🤣
Until round 9 it was pretty level. I had Usyk up by 1 end of 8th, or level as the 2nd round could have went either way, with AJ coming into the fight. 9th onwards Usyk won.
The fight was close to the ninth round.....I think 7-5...8-4 was a fair score......AJ boxed the wrong fight......he should be better in the rematch.....play to his strengths,,,,and do what he is best at.....he cannot outbox Usyk......he must box and fight him.....
@@Nyasalands_Finest 7-5.....8-4....which is what two of the Judges scored.....
@@Pawl250 I agree,,,,,,
The snake lost his bite. No venom. The power AJ possesses has been ludicrously left dormant. His trainers crazily made him try to box for an entire fight against a natural boxer. Joshua's jab was so predictable. Surely AJ could have learned something from Chisora's approach from his last fight with Usyk. But credit to Usyk he bossed it.
Exactly. Trying to outbox Usyk was the dumbest strategy I've ever seen in boxing... He needs to come into this second fight strong with his power tweaked and maxed out and not worry about out pointing Usyk. He needs to worry about hitting Usyk with fight changing power punches. Even if he doesn't KO him, just one well landed power shot in an early round can totally changed the way the rest of the fight will go. He needs to say to hell with punch stats and all that BS and go in there with bad intentions trying to hurt Usyk with every punch.
@@CornPopWazABadDude Exactly!!
Greetings from Germany. It was a great fight, great atmosphere, fair judges and Usyk wrote History. Joshua showed the right attitude after the fight and thats what counts. BOXING WON that night. It's not about being undefeated, it's about the willingness to fight the best and to become undisputed.
Finally, somebody talking sense! An undefeated fighter is a fighter who chose his opponents wisely! All the biggest legends of the sport have Ls on their records, as long as you fight the best that’s all us fans can ask for.
Exactly!
100%
Both Usyk and Joshua are class. Usyk was the better man but all credit to Joshua.
The first non childish comment I've seen.
Why didn't Eddie get the Campbell Hatton judges to do the AJ fight...he would still be champion with a 12 round shut out
There weren't judges in that fight, just one Matchroom referee who scored it.

Charles Martin a tough fight. Come on at this point your now mocking us.
Based on what I saw from Usyk, I just don’t see how AJ wins. Too fast, unreal stamina (UNREAL!), far too skilful. I think if AJ opens up, he gets countered with something he doesn’t see.
@And Pais fury will never take that fight. Say what you want about Joshua but at least he took the mandatory. Wouldn't surprise me if fury fought haye. People would still bang on about how that's a good fight for fury

Great interview & it was a great show on Saturday, to be fair to Eddie, he did say all the way through the build up that it was going to be AJ hardest fight, can’t wait for the rematch 🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊
AJ going to be 16-time world heavyweight champion by the end of his career 🤣🤣🤣
Birdie num num

Still gotta catch the real deal on 5!
Cena and Flair levels
🤣🤣🤣 the matchroom masterplan
I love Eddie, he’s clutching at straws here. Making out that three time heavyweight champion is a great thing - it’s because he’s lost em all twice!
@Shaun Osborne it's right though. It's silly use of language. Canelo, Crawford etc can use that 3 time thing and it means more
Very few fighters remain undefeated. It's how you come back from defeat and adversity that defines how great a fighter is in many cases. Learning from mistakes and having the courage and heart to get back in the ring and right the wrongs. How many boxing greats went undefeated their whole careers?
Yes and how many one hit wonders have there been who couldn't win the belts back? Rahman, McCall, Douglas etc etc
@@MMA_Content Ali was stripped of his title 1st time, the 2nd time he lost his title (Leon spinks), he was an older fighter.
You can go undefeated if you never fight decent opponents
When Callum Smith is on AJ's undercard, AJ losses, as soon as I saw Callum on the undercard and that AJ is not wearing white gloves, I knew he's gonna lose.
i heard he was wearing different diapers as well. It's definitely it.
I hear he had black sock on He never wins with black socks 🤦♂️ Ffs 😂🤡
Muppet
He should of had a cod piece like the singer out of Cameo . . . Right then I knew he would lose . . 😂
I like this interview Kugan asking the difficult questions well in
"Give him the respect of taking Usyk" He was literally mandatory. The damage control here is ridiculous.
Have you ever seen Wilder and Fury fights they're mandetories lol. Mandetories are harder fights... Because these people have been watching you for so long. Unknown fight Otto Wallin smaahed Fury up. So yeah a true champ if the one that take Mandetories.
Exactly. But the thing is, AJ fans are just casuals so they won’t know any better
These clowns still think Charles Martin was a great win.
Wilder has made 10 successful defenses, almost as many as Ali. Fury has never held a belt long enought to have a mandatory, so what the hell are you on about.
Absolutely rubbish mandatory are not always the highest rank dillion whyte was ranked number 1 and wasn't made mandatory for wilder for a long ass time
Almost took Eddie seriously until he said “it was a close fight up until the 8 round”, Joshua won 3 rounds if any, was a usyk total domination
Agreed
Definitely! 9 rounds to 3!
@Joe BARWICK so they WERE looking to rob usyk then! But the beating was TOO GOOD! They could never, ever say Joshua won that! What I found strange was that when they read out the scorecards, watch AJ- he actually expected to get the decision! It was like ‘damn it I thought I won that!’ Lol
So until the 8th round, that'd make it 4 - 3 to Usyk?
Considering Usyk definitively won rounds 9, 10, 11 and 12, if AJ won three rounds, saying it was close up until the 8th surely makes sense?
That was the best of AJ on saturday. That’s exactly how he boxed in all his big fights. He’s done at the elite level
Your thick he never tried to box and move he stayed flat footed and tried to out point usyk and that's just not going to happen, he needs to adopt a similar style to Mike Tyson go at usyk like a bull in a china shop just go straight at him with head movement and nasty combos he will win the rematch handy aswell and whoever said Ali fought spinks when spinks was older, Ali was older than spinks and he still won you fool and nearly 10 years in age difference so who should of really won that fight based on the age and still Ali won
@@SAYITHOWITISMMA You're * thick Oh the irony.😄
If he can't make adjustments on his own when fighting he can't hang at this level... Floyd is an example of this... If plan A doesn't work, have a plan B or C that relies on your natural instincts as a fighter... That's what AJ is missing. His trainers can't throw punches for him
@@SAYITHOWITISMMA lol dont mention Tyson and Ali with Aj
You are talking rubbish.....the AJ that knocked out Klitchko...knocked out Whyte....knocked out Povetkin.....knocked out Pulev....beats Usyk.......he needs to fight his way and not try to beat Usyk at his own game.......
I’ve watched it back 5 times now and rob said to josh at the end of the 10th that he was two rounds up. Worse advice than tundes “Empty the tank” to yarde when fighting kovalev.
Another brilliant night
Howard Foster one of the judges nearly had that on his card.
Better off shouting lions in the camp

Gotta say: Respect to AJ doing post press even though he must have felt devastated. & respect to Eddie not punching that 'fan' in the windpipe after just seeing a zillion riyals & a free suntan go down the toilet 😏❤
Eddie Hearn is spot on his analysis about not "over thinking in life....keep it simple'!
Ok, but what happens if Usyk catches AJ in the rematch and sparks him clean out because he tries to 'Keep It simple', Usyk is a clever boxer and you just know he will cover all bases in the rematch.
If your a simpleton.. What ever works for you. I'm not judging X
It was 9/3 Eddie, come on mate.
And I'm thinking hearn is very vocal, so when they watched the fight back he must of said to aj u only lost by one round, so aj may think there aren't many improvements to make.
It was 11-1. 10-2 at best. No way did Joshua win 3 rounds.
@@blazemkds what round did u give him for 11-1
@@Kieran-jq5kk Round 5 or 6 can't remember which. They were his best two rounds by far.
At the very beginning AJ was more concerned with waving, turning round and even at one point going up to a lady and planting a kiss on her cheek. Then that fiasco with the fireworks. He should have been more focused, like Usyk was. He thought he already had it in the bag.
Agree it was like Rocky 3
That was aunt Betty bro he had to stop by and have a quick cuppa.
Tyson fury esque
Fury done the same. Some like the show there’s nothing wrong with it he just wasn’t good enough on the night nothing else matters… some like the showman stuff some don’t some are relaxed some are not their all different
He did the same thing in previous fights that he went on to win - including the Klitschko fight. Let our criticisms be objective.
Really like Hearn, done great things for the sport but doesn’t half talk bollocks when about AJ!
He's just thinking money,hel acts as if there friends
Great things for the sport??! Ffs

Omg I'm sick of hearing Ruiz 2. AJ gets all the credit for executing a perfect gameplan. But Eddie seems to forget Ruiz didn't train, was partying non stop after winning the titles. So Ruiz gave it away as much as AJ won
They signed the contract. It's Ruiz own fault. Same as Duran in the second Leonard fight. Both have to live knowing they blew their own chance to rewrite history.
Even do it is Ruiz fault for not training. Aj still didn’t want no part of him. He was on his toes all night

Big up iFLTV
As if it is that easy to just “Give it to him”, has everyone forgotten that AJ has a gas tank issue and an issue with recovery? We have seen it multiple times now. If AJ goes in to the rematch to just “throw” it could back fire spectacularly, leaving himself spent after 3 rounds and get Ko’d in the 4th or 5th. Is it a risk he needs to take? Maybe. But I just feel that fans are so quick to remedy a situation without really considering what happened and considering the true strengths and weaknesses of both guys.
Ive said the same thing. If aj fails to get him out of there in 3/4 rounds usyk will most likely stop him
If AJ just tries to give it him he gets stopped like he did against Andy Ruiz Jr
@@winstonsworld9236 I had a bet on Usyk stopping AJ between rounds 7-12.. would of had Usyk winning on points but thought he would get robbed if it did but it was so one sided they couldn't
I disagree. His stamina has massively improved over the last few fights. He was still looking good late in the fight. He was moving way better than he was earlier in his career.
In his fight against Usky Aj got tired yet he was too hesitant to let his hands go the entire fight. He wasn't doing stuff that would have made him win. His performance was found wanting in every aspect of it. He under performed. Boxing Usky will not make Aj win the rematch. Aj lacked tenacity yet it is that plus power that would make him win against Usky. Boxing Usky would be suicidal for the second time.
Eddie still speaking like this was a close fight. Honestly he got battered start to finish. Two rounds at most and that’s cos usyk coasted through them
Yeah I had Joshua winning rounds 4-6. Anyone with a working pair of eyes knows that usyk won every other round.
@@papafoundry5537 Joshua was ahead on the score cards until round 9, which is a joke. Had Usyk not been so dominant in the later rounds I think they would have robbed him of the win.

AJ needs to know this is a war you can die in that ring. Usky is good fellow and stealthy boxer. Niceness comes afterwards. Only AJ can correct his mistakes, not his fans boys.
I'd seriously consider sacking off the entrance where he is stood on some sort of podium with fireworks etc all going off around him. I'm no expert but I can't imagine having to do all of that just before a fight is the last thing you need to keep yourself in that headspace. Sure have the insane production, but I'd much prefer to see him have a ring walk with his team surrounding him and its straight from the dressing room into the ring no bullshitting around with fans or anything like that.
yeah too much of a commercial guy with commercial. unlike the Jedi warrior usyk. At this point though I'm getting suspicious AJ might just like betting against himself when the odds are massive, losing, then just coming back in rematch with a not ridiculous fight plan.
Does my nut in. Stop the circus!
@Captain Danger True but he said himself in the Ruiz rematch he actually preferred coming into the ring first to assert his dominance and make the other fighter feel like they are "walking into my ring". So whether or not that holds any merit I don't know, perhaps it was just mind games. He is but he also said I think to M J Phelps (can't remember her channel name) that he finds the crowd a bit of burden with all of that pressure on him. It won't take much to have the thought of "yeah all these people are here to see me knock this guy out!!" to "Oh god there are 70,000 people here seeing me get hit a lot..." and that instant of a change in mindset can be quite problmatic, no doubt it would cause you to tighten up, be naturally more cautious because despite what you might be trying to think, your bodies adrenaline will be flying around and that'll do to you whatever it wants to do. Good or Bad. Personally I think its best left to what AJ feels is best for him. Like forget what the "fans" want. Its about him, what he needs, if he feels like the podium being on fire etc is what gets him in the right mindset etc, cool keep it. If not, and he would rather have a straight to ring no nonsense walk and then save all the party time for afterwards, then do that instead.
You know when you lie to yourself so much you end up believing your own lie? That's exactly what Hearn is doing here.

@@trsbsportspodcast2105 usyk. He’s just too good and AJ isn’t that good a boxer. Let’s face it. Always said it a brawler he’s excellent too much power but as a boxer he isn’t great and will lose most times against a true boxing man like Usyk
When was rob McCracken going to tell aj he was losing the fight. Never seen such poor advise given when I fighter has his heavyweight world championship disappearing.
Totally agree! No urgency, no reality check like “your losing” “you need a knockout to win” 🤷🏻♂️
He probably won't even tell him when they get back to the gym
If his plan was to outbox Usyk, where was the voice of reason to tell him that wasn't a great idea?
“He can box 20x better than that” Eddie, he needs to start FIGHTING 20x better, you won’t outbox Oleksandr Usyk. AJ is a good boxer but he needed to use his strengths and turn it into a dog fight. His size and power could have won him that fight but the game plan was all wrong.
Ruiz ruined AJ, he will never throw down for a dogfight again as he is too scared to get clipped on the side of the head.
Hasn’t got the engine or the whiskers for a dog fight
AJ has no heart for a "dog fight"
@@Bennett2142 AJ never had heart, he was never down for a dog fight.
Any you lot watch the AJ Klitschko fight? He wasn't scared of getting clipped back then. Silk pyjamas ruined him.
Eddie "AJ just had a bad day at the office" Me " He is in the office ONCE a year!!!"
😁👌
LOL SO TRUE!😂😂
I've only just, actually, watched the fight and was surprised at how much better Joshua has become. I've never been a Joshua fan but thought it was his best fight by a mile. It's just that Usyk was even better, that's it, really. Hearn is having himself on that Joshua had some kind of "off night".
Don’t overthink it
No dummy he boxed a boxer like an idiot. He should have forced himself on Usyk being the bigger man and threw way more power punches. Chisora really gave USyk big problem with his size because he used it that the way he should have fought. If he lost like that at least he would know he did everything correct and it would of been an incredibly close fight. Probably one of Joshua’s worst tactical performances ever.
@@MrOasis316 No, I'm afraid he hasn't the chin for that. If he tried that, Usyk would have put him down in 1 or 2. It's boxing 101. You casuals, lol.
@@felixfedre518 lol shut up moron you obviously don’t have a clue what your talking about 😂😂
@@MrOasis316 Your man is a looooooser, like you, ha ha.
I find it utterly unbelievable that AJ and his entire team spent months and months training for Usyk and made the conscious decision to attempt to out skill him. How did they come to that decision? EVERYONE knew Usyk’s strengths prior to the fight yet AJ and his entire team of experts thought that trying to outbox Usyk was the tactic to use to beat him? From not being aggressive, throwing single punches to being told by his corner that he was winning and constantly telling AJ how good he was doing even when he obviously needed to start landing punches. Something really isn’t right here…
And casuals think AJ could beat Fury 🤦♂️😂
Enjoying your retirement khabib
Yea AJ fans are all shit they all vanished from comments and r now claiming to be Usyk fans😂😂
Can you imagine what Fury would've done to him on that performance
AJ would destroy Fury... AJ overestimated Usyk, which probably killed his confidence to some levels
@@bruxtonfitness9880 , Joshua doesn't destroy anyone unless they're 40-odd years old (Wlad, Povetkin) or simply bang average (Martin, Brezeale etc.). Anyone half decent and with a pulse he either loses or looks average himself.
Eddie: Not sure I haven’t watched the fight back Also Eddie: I’ve watched the fight back it was level after 8
Also 'AJ can box 20x better than that' but next time they are not going to box him.
@@Spartans-bm9vd also AJ tough 13 fight run including Molina and Breazale....but Wilder never beat anybody apart from Ortiz.... 🤣
Hearn the best BS artist in Britain.
Level after 8? Hahaha...the only thing that was close to being leveled was AJ
"I haven't watched the fight back TO LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED IN THE CORNER" .... you're worse than a journalist for twisting words around aren't you ? 7:53
They understermated usyk I'm so glad he won absolutely deserved 👏
The best man on the night won.....Joshua can win the rematch......
No one questions AJ’s guts. He doesnt dodge opponents. Maybe the thing to question is why did he fight with those tactics? Why wait until afterwards to say. Hm that was wrong. Usyk isn’t an idiot. Ruiz just went away and ate his way through the world. Usyk wont be stupid.
Hearn clutching to the scorecards of 7 5? Joshua was lucky to have won 3 rounds and thats being generous.
The UK judge who is probably in his pocket. I was there and yes 3 rounds tops to Joshua
Lovely to hear Harry Kane leaping out of his comfort zone and hosting interviews…
😂 underrated comment
Faughten 😅 add that to the Oxford dictionary!
Yea ,,, cuz all he do is lie
"sack the trainer" McCracken was saying to him double up the jab, he couldn't even follow that basic instruction, what could the trainer do more
AJ doesnt listen and goes into some weird head space not focused
@@Midnightwhiskeymassacre he clearly wasn't seeing what the corner can, he has one chance in the rematch, chase him down and batter him, if he doesn't let his hands go , he's done
@@callyourbullshit trouble for AJ there is though that is a very one dimensional way to fight and real obvious to Usyk that is his only hope so predictable and assuming Usyk is just going to let him do that as well, cant see it myself
Very brave of hearn confronting a fan behind all the security guards. Tough guy
After Aj beat ruiz the press acted like it was the second coming of Ali
LMAO I hated that shit. Then again Ali lost 5 times.
The movement was brilliant
I’m an Usyk fan since he won the Olympics. I was really happy he did the semi-pros after and felt like ages until he became pro. I was always buying his t-shirts and always believed in him, and knew that the day will come that he’ll show the world that he’s the best. After the superseries I knew he’s meant for great things, and was delighted when he beat Bellew and everybody recognised his value. Almost ten years later, right before the AJ fight, I doubted him for the first time, I thought that there are not many chances to win for various reasons. I was wrong, and I’ve never been happier to be wrong. I know that nobody cares but just wanted to say that this time it happened my guy to be the best, but if you are an AJ fun or whosever keep being their fan, it took 10 years of patience to see my favourite boxer to become heavyweight champion, and would have been the exact same even if he had lost!
Hello from Ukraine!) We are so proud and happy too) I still believe Aj will back. He is still so young.
Lol seen this post twice now
Congratulations on your achievements. Following a fighter for 10 years and buying t-shirts is no mean feat. You most be really proud of yourself. Thanks for sharing!
👌
Yeah course you would pal
Eddie desperately wants it back in UK so he can get his favourite judges all in there just nicely waiting to give Usyk the rob. Usyk needs to stay away and insist this one goes to Kiev.
I thought he lost comprehensively 9 rounds to 3 and i'm not alone thinking that. Unlike the Ruiz fight i cant see Joshua doing anything different in a re-match.
You might not see it, and thats why you are where you are in life, and AJ is where he is at in life
@@knockout4121 This is boxing not a motivational speaking seminar.
@@AlTarif It doesnt have to be a motivational seminar to tell a casual that a champions see what casuals cant see
The only thing Joshua can do in the rematch is work on power power power during camp and go in with bad intentions. Forget the points system - he can only win by stoppage and needs to fight that way from the opening bell
Hearn acting like he's surprised AJ got carried away with the "sweet science" narrative but he's also responsible for it. Watched an interview of Hearn just before the fight where he said Joshua was very close to Usyk in terms of boxing skills (hand speed, foot speed, ring IQ etc). He got over excited with the style AJ showed against Ruiz, as did AJs whole team
Ruiz was overweight and couldn't chase AJ down. If Ruiz was at a reasonable fighting shape, we wouldn't even be having this conversation as AJ would have lost again...
@@DIVISIONINCISION absolutely right.
@@DIVISIONINCISION facts 💯
Bullshit Eddie knew he was screwed. AJ's ego made this fight.
@@DIVISIONINCISION Parker is a slick guy quick hands tough guy too... if AJ fought Parker 10 times who wouldn't ko Parker in 10 chances. Just too slick for AJ like Usyk was Usyk was just too good special
Eddie is the king of spin. It was a 9-3 beat down
Good score bro
Its was I had . At worst 8-4
some people had it a draw LOL
I had it 8 - 4 but the 8 Usyk won were clear rounds.
True bro 8 _ 4 worst ,haha draw they are crazy
I really doubt Eddie Usyk “gonna do what Andy Ruiz done” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Eddie contradicted himself massively here, he said early in the interview ‘do you want us to keep giving him easy fight and he’ll never lose’ but then later says he’s had 13 hard fights 🤔
Not really contradicting himself......he's saying he's had 13 hard fights out of the 24 total fights. You don't start having tough fights early on in your pro career, as they're "learning fights" ......once you step up though, you won't be able to reduce the quality of the opponent without being chastised by the boxing public.
@@jamalshehadeh7588 yeah I get that but even the 13 fights weren’t hard fights either, Takam, Martin, Molina, Brezeale, even Ruiz everyone thought it would be a walkover and he slipped up. The only tough one is Klitch who was way past it when they got together. But I must say I am in the camp that AJ has been massively overhyped because of his marketability. To be honest AJ is probably a victim of how poor heavyweight boxing is currently versus previous decades as any fight that isn’t Usyk/Fury/Wilder looks an easy win
Eddie trying to convince himself as he can see his cash cow losing credibility. Second fight AJ will be more aggressive and be stopped by the quicker slicker man
Precisely, this ends very poorly for Joshua if he comes in all guns blazing. I see very little that could be done by AJ to beat Usyk, barring a lucky punch. Also I don't buy this bad tactics scenario that led to the defeat - regardless of what Joshua was told he was bamboozled by a slicker more intelligent boxer. Aj is as dumb as a bag of rocks, there in lies the problem
He lost enough money when AJ went all Joseph goebbels and told ‘his’ people to boycott white stores
@@radekashah2099 AJ is a racist and the British public know this
Eddie naming his top 4 heavyweights was hilarious hahaha Christ!!!!
Looooooool
Cba to watch it, what were they
Whyte above wilder😂 wilder has only lost to fury and suddenly that makes him useless
@@akaskinz1856 wilder has fought nobodies that's why he doesn't get recognition
@@akaskinz1856 lmfao
Usyk is the only prime fighter he’s been in a ring with
Eddie Hearn could sell me my car back to me even tho its mine. Fucking genius
ahjaha
Eddie Hearn says multiple times AJ was up on cards after 8 rounds 😂😂😂
i know its embarrassing to listen to tbh
Disgraceful judging
Howard foster the cheat
Well he was according to the cards.
@@thecarpetman7687 It was a draw on the cards after 8 rounds. Howard Foster had Joshua winning. Fesechenko had Usyk winning. Steve Weisfeld had it a draw.
Absolutely love how - straight after the AJ loss - Eddie starts talking about Dillian as top 4 heavyweight in the world. Eddie switches position quicker than Usyk.
He is prob 5th
@@ill_be_frank Usyk had a 3 fight deal with Matchroom. Bellew, Witherspoon (Spong) & Chisora. This fight was a joint promotion under his own Usyk17 banner. Eddie hasn't burnt any bridges with Usyk or his team though so I'm sure once the rematch is done he'd be in the running to promote him again 👍
He is top 4 though.
@@marlok4444 Eddie has basically never spoken about a top 4 before. He’s talked about a top 3 and the rest. As much as I’m a fan, he’s barely paid any attention to Dillian for the last 18 months and now he’a changing tack because if AJ loses the rematch (likely), Whyte becomes hugely important to him.
He should have used his weight more but people saying he should have gone out guns swinging are a bit naive. Do you not think Usyk knows how to counter these? You can’t be reckless that’s how Ruiz beat him
It's going to take a few more fights for the muppets to catch up with how good Usyk really is.
He goes in swinging against Usyk, he gets taken out, simple as that. Only one man has shown chin and recovery issues in the past and it isn't Usyk.
when AJ loses the rematch Eddie will drop him so quickly. Loyalty only exists when you are winning.
Exactly. Ask Brook if Hearn still calls him
Win or lose AJ , makes more money for Eddie Hearns cash Cow like Rick Hatton.
"I believe AJ beats Fury." Okay, Mr. Promoter man. Yeah, in a beauty pageant, agreed.
So you expect Eddie to say Fury beats AJ? Are you that naive about business promotion?
Especially when Hearn is now saying even if Usyk wins rematch "we come again." LOL.
Who cares, it's all about usyk v fury now. AJ has the same record as Ruiz, Parker and whyte... But with less wins.
tbf to Eddie he’s supposed to be promoting AJ, it’s just incredibly hard to take it seriously after we just saw him get his arse handed to him
Exactly
“AJ can fight 10x better, 20x better than that”, lmao no he can’t 😂 Usyk is just too good for AJ. Usyk took his speed, footwork and movement from cruiserweight up to heavyweight and now has that extra power that gives him the respect not to bully him around. Usyk wins 10 times out of 10. Only Fury got a chance and even that fight is 50/50 cause we don’t know if he can fight such a technical and fast fighter like Usyk. Hopefully next year in september!
I am not be a big Joshua fan but I do love me some Hearn! this guy is refreshing.
He said whyte beats Fury and Wilder hasn't beaten a single good man and also goes on to take Brazeales name in AJ's good wins. What a fanboy
During this interview I reckon Eddie heard Fury shouting at AJ " YOU BIG DOSSER" at least 10 times 😅
Can’t wait for more boxing
If AJ wants to unleash more next time, and leave himself open. Then good luck with that, Usky knows how to punch back in that situation
Yep, if he tries to bully, Usyk going defense mode for 2-3 rounds, counter REALLY hard on the right time and then step by step stun him and take over the fight in rounds 4-5-6, devastating KO coming in the 8th.
@@poundforpoundboxing8943 he need to do body shots to drive usyk back into the centre for clean connections he barely used any body shots first fight
@@unavailablebbjh8720 💯 how I see it. Wanted AJ to target body from first bell which he clearly didn’t, but in the later rounds when he did target the body it worked well
What a night of boxing won’t forget that one
AJ was hyped English tax
Naming Breazeale as a hard top fight for AJ and then saying Wilder hasnt beaten anyone is laugh out loud funny. The mental gymnastics are elite.
Eddie definitely watched The thick of it, he is a master spin doctor
hes no spin doctor , he would be if we all would believe him . this interview is longer then the fight was and the only thing it does is make him look like the 2nd hand cardealer that he is .
He's a bullshitter mate, a bloody good one though. He's a likeable guy but his reasoning here for AJ's loss is shaky at best and pathetic at worst.
