well Ali was 195 pounds Usik is 220, but yes i think people mistake is to believe Usik is small! 6.3 and 220 is no small man ! ofcourse next to Fury 6.9 and 277 he issmall but like everyone i guess
What I will say about AJ, he's great at learning from fights. He'll have learnt a lot from this fight, and it'll be interesting to see how he responds when he truly lost to the better man.
I think TTG is underestimating how much of an impact a world class trainer can have on a boxer. If McCracken is replaced by a technically brilliant trainer, AJ will adapt for the reasons you've mentioned. There will be loopholes to exploit in terms of Usyk's technical skill... Usyk can't solve being a natural cruiserweight.
@curio he’s not even slow lmfao he got where he is by being fast as well an absolute battering ram unit. If he didn’t have the speed which he has he would be the same level as someone like chisora or pulev. He’s just lost his confidence after than Ruiz fight and doesn’t fight with the same aggression now
@@Ytremz usyk beats aj everything they fight.... there is no shame in that .... he's better than aj in every aspect of boxing .... aj is a good man but don't fake the rematch
@@Ytremz heavyweight starts from 92kg. Usyk was a small heavyweight in the olympic around 94kg along with Joe Joyce around 97kg in 2012. While AJ was a superheavyweight over 100kg. Deontay Wilder fights at 97, 98kg. Mike Tyson at 20 Years old was 95kg and became champ. Then reach 100kg for 5ft11 in his 30's. So usyk is now 100kg 6ft4. He is a proper heavyweight. After the olympic he decided to fight at 91kg in cruiserweight but really and truly he walked around at 95kg just 4kg to lose before a fight. Now kept his natural Weight, took on 5kg extra that's all. Babic the savage is a small heavyweight 95kg still carries power
It would be but it'd never happen as AJ v Wilder will always be a massive PPV stadium fight on its own. Even with no belts the public would love that one.
Ffs that would be boxingmania. They should actually do that have a huge boxingmania event like wrestlemania. Fury v usyk AJ v wilder Whyte v ruiz Canelo v Taylor (And a joke fight thrown in for novelty Paul V Tommy Fury)
@@cdwilson12 it will be a boring fight, AJ is flat footed and he's gonna get his face shattered like a piece of fine china getting a cannonball shot through it.
@@cdwilson12 I honestly hope the fight never gets made because I anticipate AJ would be very very very badly hurt by Deontay. Wilder is nothing to fuck with.
Usyk has cemented his legacy as one of the best cruiser weights of all time, he will most become undisputed in the division, the rematch should be interesting
No way AJ was ill. It was actually one of his most impressive performances in terms of stamina and head movement. His mistake was trying to outbox Usyk. Should have done what Chisora did and went in hard and heavy. If he tries to outbox him in the rematch he's going to lose again. Needs to find the same kind of fire and aggression as AJ showed vs Whyte.
I think that was AJs best performance. I have never seen him maintain concentration like that. But I'm not sure what more he can do. If he fights more aggressively and Usyk just angles out and counters him every time, he's going to look stupid until he gets knocked out. Is love to see him make real adjustments and win the rematch. I think he has the determination to do that but it seems like Usyk will always be a step ahead in game plan and skill.
@@michaelbassey1993 bollocks of course he does. Chisora has been KOd in worse fashion than AJ. Fact is AJ should and could have put the heavy pressure on early. Chisora put on a better display cause he went for it, AJ has a better skillset just not mentally where he used to be
I love how Joshua has been a champion for years and now everyone acts like it means nothing.. and he clearly knew usyk would be a hard fight but never ducked it, then now he has lost everyone’s against him and acting like he’s done.. it’s boxing you either win or lose. Imagine the criticism if he had dropped the belt and avoided the usyk fight
Thank you! But he isn't wrong though and trust me am not a fan of Geordie. Am a massive AJ fan but the only way i see him winning the rematch is by trying to bully Usyk and be able to take a punch. He doesn't have a chin and is used to bullying opponents. Ever since the Andy fight he got way too cautious for his own good. The two people who can probably beat Usyk easily are Wilder and Fury.
But this isn't a fickle, 'wise after the event' analysis. It's a fair, considered, even-handed and intelligent breakdown. Fair play if you're an AJ fan (as I am) and you're gutted he lost and want him to come back and regain the belts. But watch this again and be completely honest with yourself. Is anything he's said unfair or untrue?
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!
I see Fury Wilder and Dillian Whyte beating usyk. Maybe he goes 12rounds with Wilder. Loses a 12rounds decision to usyk. But Whyte will press him to a proper fight
To be a great heavyweight, he needs to sit down on his punches sometimes, and throw explosive power. Because basically, to be a heavyweight, you have to have power to knock your opponent out, given a clean combination. He can box, which I love to see. It is refreshing to see boxing champions that can actually box, but he needs strength training and to develop more power once he is inside. This can be done with technique and positioning in addition to weight training. Not every punch mind you, but the power must be there should the opportunity present itself.
@@ironmikehallowween u don’t need to knock someone out in the heavyweight division to be a great champion. Usyk has power. He could’ve easily knocked Aj out in that fight. He wobbled him 2/3 times but his game plan what to outbox him over 12 rounds.
It's been a long while since I heard someone so honestly and knowledgeably say something I felt like they didn't, deep down, really want to say about a boxer. Thank you for being realistic and straightforward and commonsense.
Aj biggest weakness is his chin every time he is hit clean his legs give out and aj knows this and this is why he panics when under attack and uses a lot of nervous energy then he fatigues late
Spot on, his chin seems more fallable every time I see him. I think Rob wanted aj to be more aggressive and expressive, but aj was too scared of getting countered
I agree with what you said but usyk seriously knocked AJ about the place I don't think he should take the rematch if he does and wins then it will really prove to everyone that AJ is a great I still think aj is a great but usyk was levels above
Boxing fans are wild! One minute you love the guy and the next minute you hate the guy but guarantee all the people who hate him will tune in to watch the rematch lol
@@negusibe9232 lol this has nothing to do with wilder or fury. Usyk just put on a masterclass in boxing and AJ couldn't do anything about it. Also, the mental tactics that Usyk did before the fight e.g. acting friendly definitely played a part too.
I remember watching Brian commentate the first KSI fight and thinking "this guy doesn't know what he's on about". Fast forward to now and I can't say I've ever disagreed with anything he's said regarding fighters or combat sports in general... Actually he points out things that a lot of people don't see or think about and I often find myself saying "YES THAT'S RIGHT DAMMIT"
Like when he made fun of Mayweather for doing exabitions as saying "you didn't see people like Ali doing exabitions" He's a casual in every sense of the word
@@LegendInThaMakin A. Not bullied, but beaten by a couple of points B. It's a boxing match, you win some, you lose some, just because he lost does not mean his boxing is not beautiful.
Usyk proved himself to be a pound for pound great and I’m hoping AJ inspires younger fighters and current fighters to take hard fights and not care about loosing that 0 on their records and take great fights like the Tysons Ali’s and Paquiaos
Fighters like Fury and Wilder bother me because they rarely fight ! AJ fights everyone. Now Fury is crying because the fight with AJ won’t bring the same money !
@@southwestadventures5508 yeah but he fights the hardest people, nd before fury cam back it was like 3 times a year but then he spent all his time trying to secure a fight with Wilder or Fury and failing at that, so then he only really fought mandatories
You're right to be fair. I'm not his biggest fan, but he does take the risky ones and this last fight was a complete shutdown. Feel kinda bad but it's definitely not the end for him if he wants to bounce back.
@@williamtell3124 Same for most though. We should have seen Fury vs AJ already. Fury is partly responsible as he had years off, but it'll be criminal not to see that fight.
@@warrengeew i mean i still favour AJ in fury fight and ik people will call me mad but im just a big fan of aj i love the guy i think he beats fury and bum wilder but the rematch with usym is gunna be difficult
I didn't see the trademark fast hand speed and combinations from AJ in that fight and that's why Usyk is so good AJ looked gun-shy in that fight cus every punch he threw got countered. His only chance was to try take a couple shots and land a killer combo with his extra power but I don't think Usyk would've let it happen if he had gone for it. AJ is gonna have to get lucky in the rematch without a massive increase in IQ.
It looked like he was trying to change his style. I don't understand it. Why is he trying to fight a technical game against a fighter that is better than him technically?
His hand speed just seemed slower cause he was in there with Usyk. He clocked Usyks chin clean with a nasty right hand multiple times and obviously it hurt Usyk but it wasn’t enough like it normally is. Usyk is legit.
Was some what relived to see Aj lose. Usyk put his name on the lips of everyone that night not just boxing fans and it’s nice to see him get the recognition he deserves
I'm glad to see the demise of AJ he literally come out during covid and said only shop at black businesses, guys a prick imo glad he got ruined doesn't even deserve that fight with fury wouldn't even beat wilder, AJ will go down as a protected fighter when he retires and he's history
im glad AJ lost, we can now see the best fight the best. AJ v Usyk rematch will be the same, the guy is a robot, the only way i can see him winning is if he puts a lot of weight on and trys to walk thro Usyk. fury v Usyk. fury wins every round.
@@stokey24 why was he reading it out then whether it was his words or someone else who wrote it down why preach only shop at black businesses he did say it, typical aj bum sniffer got brown in your nostrils
I think Bruno was the better boxer. His jab was certainly superior. Right cross probably better. Faster footwork and better pivots. Both have dodgy chins. Both European style lacking a bit of fluidity. Joshua hits harder and is stronger. Right uppercut, left hook superior to Bruno's. The way Joshua sets up and throws those punches is predictable though. That would be a competitive fight. A very competitive fight.
If you think Frank Bruno (stiff as a board, goes to sleep if you tag his chin, lost his world title on first defence) is better than AJ you officially DKSAB. But I wouldn’t expect anything different from the patronage of this channel. Also LOL at the peeps saying Usyk is better than Holyfield. 😂
@@randomcontentguy2521 Of course he didn't...he was fighting a southpaw! What was he supposed to do? Being a southpaw should be illegal! Also, it's his trainer fault... Also, if you consider that his first loss came straight from the gods, we can basically say that AJ is still unbeaten to this day. Simple as that.
Nope ..fight him like Chisora did .....Usyk might find it hard with White and Dubios ....but ....I still think AJ is still stuck in the past .....he needs to go to the next level ..starting with cleaning out his corner .....get somebody who's not a yes man ...like McKracken ..AJ can improve in leaps and bounds now it's time to ...Usyk's had tons more experience than AJ ...and I never underestimate Ukrainians and Russians ..Usyk knew what to do, stronger mind ..as those breed have ....Tyson was like that ....until he lost mental strength
AJ fan here. It is exactly what I have said after watching the fight too. I don’t see a way out of this for AJ. I think the only way he will have the slimmest of chances is if he goes up in weight brings the power and just tries to crush Usyk in round 1 or 2.
That's a gamble, even at his lighter weight Anthony was struggling to tag Usyk. Anthony was big when he fought Any Ruiz and tried to take Ruizs head off and Ruiz caught Anthony for being wreck less. Usyk is a great boxer and remains undefeated because people under estimate him
Yes I agree, go back up in weight and just put it on him like Derick Chisora did. He can't win on points, so needs to try and brock him up within 4 rounds. He also needs to fight dirty I think.
@@kimjongun2540 You know it's funny, people said th e same thing in the ruiz rematch, you do realise usyk wasnt unbeatable, he got caught pretty well, and not even by jas most powerful or known shots, Anything can change the tide, it's not like aj looked like a noob compared, usyk was more active and precise with his punches
I agree with you on AJs weaknesses. AJ expects his corner to read the rounds for him and advice him when to switch plans. I don't think his corner were watching the fight critically as I expected a drastic change in style in the middle rounds.
Hmmm…I don’t know about AJ being back…..even if he gets past Usyk in rematch (I doubt that he will), he’s got monsters waiting for him in Fury and Wilder….I suspect AJ’s days at the top are gone.
@@delroygardner8325 Both fighters had damage, AJ hit him, didn't even slow Usyk down, Usyk is just better. Better give him some respect. All this talk about a about brawling with him, Usyk will not allow it, thats why he is the champ.
@@zacknorris7863 More like the Bronze medal, as he also lost against Savon of Cuba aswell as the Italian athlete in the final. Femi was just given the home decision.
The best thing I love about USYK, QUOTE, I'm not here for the fame I'm not here for the money; I am here for the prize, what a legend, True hearts win as they say he's just taken all of the corrupt bastards in boxings pants down and its long overdue , fair play to that man
@@delroygardner8325 I saw usyk live in the olympics in london and he won gold. But you would be lying if you followed him before he beat Huck a few years ago.
I love usyk he's a funny guy and a great boxer his movement and hand speed great boxer i see the same result in the rematch usyk nearly had him at the end
I like how AJ fights all the top guys and when he loses he s nobody but every body else can fight bums their entire career and still get all the credit of the world...
Which top guys? The only guys worth it at HW are Fury, Wilder and now Usyk. AJ has been fighting bums including Ruiz that put him to sleep. Credit to him he hasn’t ducked anyone but he hasn’t fought the best either
AJ fought the wrong fight but the reason he didn't fight the right fight is because Usyk negated what AJ wanted to do 👍 I don't think Usyk can beat Fury though, Fury has the skills to match Usyk and he's much much bigger than Usyk.
Fury can’t match Usyk in ability. Usyk will always be faster, and more skilful. However, cuz Fury’s a giant of a man, he will use his size to his advantage and make it a scruffy big man fight.
Fury has great ability, he's not got to where he is just by being the size he is, he has good foot work and skills to pay the bills. I find his skills more impressive than Usyk, the speed and skill he has while being 6 foot 9 is immense.
Usyk is on a completely different level technically to any other heavyweight. No shame in losing to him. Fury will only beat him because he’s 3 stone heavier and much taller
True , Usyk is a Great boxer , Medium sized guy ( at Hw standards ) Fury is a Great boxer ,huge guy. Very hard to beat Fury . But I think Usyk has the better IQ, and it wouldn't surprise me to see him put in a tremendous fight .
You think Usyk is technically far better than Fury who is clearly a well established technically superior fighter with a very good boxing IQ 😳 Not sure I agree with that but I agree Tyson's size would help him win
@@barrybergisch1 I only see one winner Tyson will bully the guy. He slapped 6ft7 16.5 stone Wilder about like a rag doll and he is a very big guy with a punch like a sledge hammer! I dont see 6ft 3 inch 16st Usyk doing much better even if he can box in pretty pictures
@@divbody i agree completely. i also see Tyson keeping him on the end of the jab all night. slowly picking him apart. look at how they both fought Chisora. Fury played with him and Usyk got bullied by him.
Same thing happened to Joe Frazier-one & done. Foreman was too big, too strong, hit too hard & Ali in the last two fights was just too fast, too slick. To have to overcome not just one, but two better-than-Joe-at-what-Joe-does opponents was impossible.
Nah Frazier was a totally different situation. 1) Frazier beat Ali to become undisputed, whilst AJ never achieved this 2) Frazier’s body was never the same after that fight, whilst AJ is still in his physical prime and instead has mental issues.
AJ has to make some substantial mental adjustments. The champ cannot play a nice guy in the ring. That's what went wrong the other night. Sasha outsmarted AJ from the weigh in on.
Ajs fans were unbearable. Aj boxed a 21st man and they thought he's the new Ali, all he had to do was walk around ruiz, it was one of the easiest fights in boxing history and he still made it look hard.
Only problem with this theory is that it’s hard to keep all those belts, even as the best. With every ‘Body’ wanting their own mandatory, I can see at least one if not two of those belts being vacated, and I reckon that’s AJ’s route back. Be interesting to see what comes next.
AJ can still win the rematch if he dominates him in the beginning and is the aggressor rather than trying to outbox him but he'll have to work out on his stamina to makesure he doesn't gas out😏
The issue AJ has got now is that he doesn't have the power he had when he had more muscle. Being leaner gives him more stamina but he isn't a great boxer especially with less power. He should be advised to increase his muscle mass again its his only way back
Much easier said than done. He needs a dominant jab and a chin to walk through his shots, neither of which he possesses. Usyk is also way to sharp and skillful for a bigger boxer with just a good jab and no chin. If AJ tries to wrestle, he gets in close and knocked out, all too easy.
Spot on, honest and respectful recap mate. Subscribed 👍 I don’t know enough about boxing to really judge it to the extent that most people seem to freely do but agree that AJ has been an exceptional champion and a great role model during his career. Shame he has grown so many new haters over this weekend. I would like to see how the rematch goes if he comes in with the old hunger/attack levels from prior to the Ruiz defeat. Whether the result would be any different I do not know but I think it would certainly make for a good fight! Cheers
Not respectful to Ruiz at all, to call him a fat f*ck then say no offense is pathetic and unwarranted. Also Brian is on the bigger side, just a distasteful comment
Exceptional champion??? Exceptional when compared to whom exactly? If he's exceptional what was Muhammed Ali? What were Lennox Lewis, the Klitschkos, Joe Louis, Marciano, Holyfield, Foreman, Holmes...? And what is Tyson Fury? And what about Usyk? Don't be ridiculous....the only exceptional thing about that guy, is the way he quit against Ruiz. That was indeed quite unique, to see a champion give up his belts like that, without any serious injury. Another exceptional aspect about him is his look of pure panic and dismay whenever he gets hit even moderately hard. Also the way he didn't show any will to win, nor bravery whatsoever against Usyk, was something quite remarkable...
Part of AJ's character seem fake to me, he seems like he's pretending to be humble and a nice guy. He had a long, slow, boastful walkout and saying "after Usyk" "the next fight", he seems like a posterboy, someone who believes his own hype while not being a great boxer, he's got the power and size to hide his lack of technical ability. Plus his fans are mostly 13 year olds who know more about his brands than boxing
AJ's style involves taking the first couple of rounds to figure out his opponent and then walking him down and hurting him. That's an extremely one-dimensional style and still worked well against the majority of his opponents as modern heavyweights don't have good head movement or footwork. The problem with fighting Usyk is that he's not just extremely fast, agile and technical but can also hurt AJ badly.
It was 5 seconds left in the 12th and final round when the bell rang to save Anthony Joshua from a knockout; go back and listen for the bell and count down and you will see
Exactly let’s look at mike tyson or ali they both lost a lot of times but they’ll go down in as the greatest not comparing aj to them 2 just using it as an example
@@djdjd1485 its the trend to glorify the old who still lost but when the new generation loses, theyre done for and the hate begins. It really is just a trend now.
I would be gutted if I was fury because that was an easy meal. It would have been one of his easiest fights and he would have unified. Their camp fucked it.
Listen, he could still win rematch. I'm fury fan, and still wanna see AJ vs fury fight. He jus needs to go all out. If usyk ends up winning again and fury beat wilder and whyte I'm happy for the usyk vs fury fight.
Agree i have a strong feeling Aj is still dangerous with his shots and can ko someone even if he fights a skilled fighter therefore i think Aj will win rematch😊
Couldn't disagree with your AJ assessment more. Usyk was absolutely the better boxer but AJ did not turn up, he looked like a shell of his former self. He was gun shy, little to do with Usyks movement AJ was frightened to committing to engage. I think AJ could and should have had Usysk out in 8 but he did not play to his strengths. Usyk absolutely did not walk through everything AJ offered, AJ hurt Usysk a couple of time but AJ did not maintain the pressure. Not fanboying at all, just my personal assessment. AJ needs to work on his mental fortitude. He needs people / trainers that can bring out that aggression that won't tell him he's brilliant every minute. I'd love to see AJ with that Kronk style!
I recon he has more of a chance than everyone is saying. Still very unlikely, but if he goes full on ‘fuck it’. I’m talking elbows, head buts, low blows at times. Rough him up like you hate his soul. For me, that’s AJs only path to victory. However, the fact that they were taking pictures before and after the fight and being really nice to each other, don’t think AJ has that in him.
Many things wrong with AJ -Head Hunter: AJ in many fights could’ve finished fights early if he went for the body more, especially in the Pulev fight. He has power and he has so many opportunities to finish the fight if he went to the body more. -Weight: 240 is his best weight, 270 is way too big, all those muscles are the reason for the decrease in stamina, muscles that big need a lot of oxygen. -Waiting for an opportunity/Too patient: Earlier in AJ’s fights he’d let his hands go, after that Ruiz fight, he switched to being patient and the finish will come, if he ever fought Wilder, I think Wilder would’ve bested him because he puts the pressure on his opponents.
I think wilder would beat him now. Not that he's a technically superior boxer because he isn't however AJs chin is so suspect all it would take is one wilder shot and he'd be rocking all over the shop. Now that wilder is improving his technique I'd have wilder to beat AJ.
Thank you so much. Didn't realise what happened in the fight until this video thanks for your insight. Also, you're not an interviewer. You're a TH-camr. Just be that
He probably meant from the 7th to the 9th, I'm sure he's not delusional enough to mean from round 1 to 9. That's Fury-level "I can beat them all with one arm behind me back", Wilder "costume was the reason I lost" level of delusion.
It started being one sided from round 8. You all like hyping thing way too much than they are. It was even up to the 7th. He lost all rounds after that
@@John-wu4rc are you joking? Out of the whole 12 rounds I’d say AJ only won about 4. It was an undeniable clear as day unanimous decision beat down and masterclass. Fury would kill AJ at this rate.
@@jamiestevens3074 Lolz. This is why i hate arguing with people online bacause some of you have brains but do not use them. If i said it was a draw till 8 and started being one sided after doesn't that mean that AJ had at least four of those first 8 rounds? Did i also not say he lost every round after the 8th? So what are you aruging about now? I only commented because of your first post where AJ himself said the same thing and you are screaming in the comment section over nothing. Some people man.
1:26 "Thirty more seconds" are you kidding me! They literally rang the bell 6 seconds early to save him from getting knocked out. Luckily, the judges had no choice but to give it to Usyk, it was simply too obvious who won.
as a AJ fan this was hard to hear but every thing he said was true, but AJ deserves another crack at Usyk who btw is the most likeable dude ever, great job Usyk - masterclass edit: I think AJ has become gun shy, no dog in him anymore, if he doesn't learn, he'll never be champ again
Big AJ fan here and I agree. AJ has even lost his power. How will he win the rematch? It seems impossible. No power, no stamina, no mental. Usyk is not Ruiz.
Nice to see the respect from Geordie to AJ , no hate or maliciousness (for which there shouldn't need to be ) and the recognition of the skill of Usyk . In any given fight on any given day (or more usually a night ) anything can happen ....which makes boxing so unpredictable (for certain). I know nothing about boxing but surely they need to move away from these automatic rematches or even third fights until the "right" result is achieved - just blocks anyone else getting a look-in for many months...
Beautiful and honest analysis my brother. And yes you are correct in very way. We would LOVE to see Usyk vs Fury and hope this Beautiful fight happens late 2022?
Saying AJ will never be champion again is just indicative of Bryan’s total lack of boxing knowledge, he just regurgitates what he reads online, look at all other champions, people said Ali, lennox, Holyfield, Bruno etc would never be champions again, nobody knows whether or not if he will be, the heavyweight landscape is far too unpredictable to predict
@@shushshush4039 no. I get your point and I know the saying but AJ is a boxer with power, he isn’t an all out brawler. Same way Frank Bruno was a boxer.
@@ivanjulian2532 I don't think AJ is signed to DAZN even though he is with Matchroom. AJ vs Usyk was on DAZN except for in the UK when it was on Sky Sports.
@@Beans360 thank you for replying. Being Australian I can testify the DAZN streaming service to watch the AJ Usyk fight was excellent in every way. And really REALLY good value.
I’m a AJ super fan and it was a very difficult thing to watch on Saturday. AJ can do so much better than that and his strongest attributes is his straight right / upper cut and left hook all of which were not thrown on Saturday. Can he win the rematch, yes with the right gameplan and using his natural advantages. If he try’s to box Usyk again forget about it.
True. I picked Usky also in the first match & the rematch. Usky said he was surprised with AJ's performance, because he had trained for someone that was going to use their size & strenght, so that tells us that Usyk was ready no matter what AJ did, also he said knocking AJ out wasn't the plan. When asked is this the best Usyk, he replied I can be much better & I believe him as he showed as that in rounds 11 & 12, what tricks he has up his sleeve for AJ. No matter what AJ does, Usyk will adapt to the situation if he's losing rounds. I know Usyk can beat Tyson also.
This wasn’t the AJ we all loved watching , the wrecking ball who went for the jugular…this one has started talking about the sweet science, chess, and trying to sound like a fucking philosopher…it doesn’t suit him and he isn’t good enough. His only choice, stick a stone on /‘d go and bully the bloke ,
His arsehole has gone. Anyone with eyes and a small amount of interest in boxing knows this. Ruiz stole something from him. It's a almost unmeasurable, but it was there now it's gone. He loses the rematch. If they fight 10 times. He has been great. But not the top, top, level. Never was. Never will be.

What I will say about AJ, he's great at learning from fights. He'll have learnt a lot from this fight, and it'll be interesting to see how he responds when he truly lost to the better man.
I think TTG is underestimating how much of an impact a world class trainer can have on a boxer. If McCracken is replaced by a technically brilliant trainer, AJ will adapt for the reasons you've mentioned. There will be loopholes to exploit in terms of Usyk's technical skill... Usyk can't solve being a natural cruiserweight.

@curio he’s not even slow lmfao he got where he is by being fast as well an absolute battering ram unit. If he didn’t have the speed which he has he would be the same level as someone like chisora or pulev. He’s just lost his confidence after than Ruiz fight and doesn’t fight with the same aggression now
@@Ytremz usyk beats aj everything they fight.... there is no shame in that .... he's better than aj in every aspect of boxing .... aj is a good man but don't fake the rematch
@@Ytremz heavyweight starts from 92kg. Usyk was a small heavyweight in the olympic around 94kg along with Joe Joyce around 97kg in 2012. While AJ was a superheavyweight over 100kg. Deontay Wilder fights at 97, 98kg. Mike Tyson at 20 Years old was 95kg and became champ. Then reach 100kg for 5ft11 in his 30's. So usyk is now 100kg 6ft4. He is a proper heavyweight. After the olympic he decided to fight at 91kg in cruiserweight but really and truly he walked around at 95kg just 4kg to lose before a fight. Now kept his natural Weight, took on 5kg extra that's all. Babic the savage is a small heavyweight 95kg still carries power
If Fury beats Wilder I would love to see a huge stadium fight, Fury vs Usyk and Wilder vs Joshua on the same card. That would be insane!
It would be but it'd never happen as AJ v Wilder will always be a massive PPV stadium fight on its own.
Even with no belts the public would love that one.
Ffs that would be boxingmania. They should actually do that have a huge boxingmania event like wrestlemania.

Usyk has cemented his legacy as one of the best cruiser weights of all time, he will most become undisputed in the division, the rematch should be interesting
he's already unified it
@@JA-jo7bl Not the heavyweight division. Fury has the WBC and Lineal belt.

@@crimsond4210 correct. if you have 2+ belts then you've unified the division
No way AJ was ill. It was actually one of his most impressive performances in terms of stamina and head movement. His mistake was trying to outbox Usyk. Should have done what Chisora did and went in hard and heavy. If he tries to outbox him in the rematch he's going to lose again. Needs to find the same kind of fire and aggression as AJ showed vs Whyte.
AJ doesn’t have the chin to do a Chisora on Usyk…..he will get clipped and stopped early…..AJ’s best chance is a puncher’s one.
I think that was AJs best performance. I have never seen him maintain concentration like that. But I'm not sure what more he can do.
If he fights more aggressively and Usyk just angles out and counters him every time, he's going to look stupid until he gets knocked out.
Is love to see him make real adjustments and win the rematch. I think he has the determination to do that but it seems like Usyk will always be a step ahead in game plan and skill.
people were talking about him almost being TKOd at the end but he was getting out of the way of most of the punches.
I still doubt if that will work. I so love AJ cox am a Nigerian, but I don't see him beating USYK honestly
@@michaelbassey1993 bollocks of course he does. Chisora has been KOd in worse fashion than AJ. Fact is AJ should and could have put the heavy pressure on early. Chisora put on a better display cause he went for it, AJ has a better skillset just not mentally where he used to be
For me Mccracken shouting brilliant AJ every 5 seconds was a clear sign that he needs to change trainer.
Yep If I was AJ even I would tell him to shut the fook up !

@@BIGFREAKYMAN well whoever it was he was clearly on Drugs as he was seeing something the rest of the world didn't .

McCracken can’t make AJ take a better shot. If AJ opened up and let his hands go he would have got himself knocked out
I love how Joshua has been a champion for years and now everyone acts like it means nothing.. and he clearly knew usyk would be a hard fight but never ducked it, then now he has lost everyone’s against him and acting like he’s done.. it’s boxing you either win or lose. Imagine the criticism if he had dropped the belt and avoided the usyk fight
Fact! People are so fickle and that's what pisses me off. Let's not forget that people also thought Klitschko was out of his league.
You can’t win in this life. Humans are beyond fickle
Thank you! But he isn't wrong though and trust me am not a fan of Geordie. Am a massive AJ fan but the only way i see him winning the rematch is by trying to bully Usyk and be able to take a punch. He doesn't have a chin and is used to bullying opponents. Ever since the Andy fight he got way too cautious for his own good. The two people who can probably beat Usyk easily are Wilder and Fury.
But this isn't a fickle, 'wise after the event' analysis. It's a fair, considered, even-handed and intelligent breakdown. Fair play if you're an AJ fan (as I am) and you're gutted he lost and want him to come back and regain the belts. But watch this again and be completely honest with yourself. Is anything he's said unfair or untrue?
AJ’s endless ducking of wilder and fury - didn’t win me over
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!
Every boxing fans dream
I'm really happy for you man
This is big because no one cares...
You’re being wholesome and sensible on the internet… prepare for hate😂 nice comment tho…
doubt he would have felt the same if he lost xD
Every time Joshua gets tagged, he's like a new born giraffe
That was a good one, so true! 😂

Shades of Bruno….another guy who froze when he got clipped.
how did u come up with this!! hilarious but accurate.
Usyk is on course to have an all time great Heavyweight/P4P career. I was seriously impressed with him in this matchup
I see Fury Wilder and Dillian Whyte beating usyk. Maybe he goes 12rounds with Wilder. Loses a 12rounds decision to usyk. But Whyte will press him to a proper fight
He’s already an all time great. He’s done this to many boxers on the same level as Aj in cruiserweight.
his performance reminded me of when he beat gassiev for the cruiser undisputed...just made him look ordinary
To be a great heavyweight, he needs to sit down on his punches sometimes, and throw explosive power. Because basically, to be a heavyweight, you have to have power to knock your opponent out, given a clean combination. He can box, which I love to see. It is refreshing to see boxing champions that can actually box, but he needs strength training and to develop more power once he is inside. This can be done with technique and positioning in addition to weight training. Not every punch mind you, but the power must be there should the opportunity present itself.
@@ironmikehallowween u don’t need to knock someone out in the heavyweight division to be a great champion. Usyk has power. He could’ve easily knocked Aj out in that fight. He wobbled him 2/3 times but his game plan what to outbox him over 12 rounds.
Pure USYK! He came for the belts as he does! He will come to your house, smile and take your steak home to eat. Much Respect!
It's been a long while since I heard someone so honestly and knowledgeably say something I felt like they didn't, deep down, really want to say about a boxer.
Thank you for being realistic and straightforward and commonsense.
Usyk was playing advanced level Chess, AJ was playing Connect Four.

Probably cos he has spent too much time taking the knee.
Aj biggest weakness is his chin every time he is hit clean his legs give out and aj knows this and this is why he panics when under attack and uses a lot of nervous energy then he fatigues late
Spot on, his chin seems more fallable every time I see him. I think Rob wanted aj to be more aggressive and expressive, but aj was too scared of getting countered
@@joshuaepsteintasgal4517 ruiz took his soul

He has no chin dude letting a cruiserweight check that chin...what you think Wilder or Fury would do🤔
@@negusibe9232 lol this has nothing to do with wilder or fury. Usyk just put on a masterclass in boxing and AJ couldn't do anything about it. Also, the mental tactics that Usyk did before the fight e.g. acting friendly definitely played a part too.
I remember watching Brian commentate the first KSI fight and thinking "this guy doesn't know what he's on about". Fast forward to now and I can't say I've ever disagreed with anything he's said regarding fighters or combat sports in general... Actually he points out things that a lot of people don't see or think about and I often find myself saying "YES THAT'S RIGHT DAMMIT"

Absolutely spot on analysis. Great stuff, Brian! 👏
incredible breakdown. Literally everything i couldnt articulate. full respect, nail on the head.
I didn't see the trademark fast hand speed and combinations from AJ in that fight and that's why Usyk is so good AJ looked gun-shy in that fight cus every punch he threw got countered. His only chance was to try take a couple shots and land a killer combo with his extra power but I don't think Usyk would've let it happen if he had gone for it. AJ is gonna have to get lucky in the rematch without a massive increase in IQ.
AJ doesn't like to get hit and won't bully a smaller opponent.
It looked like he was trying to change his style. I don't understand it. Why is he trying to fight a technical game against a fighter that is better than him technically?
His hand speed just seemed slower cause he was in there with Usyk. He clocked Usyks chin clean with a nasty right hand multiple times and obviously it hurt Usyk but it wasn’t enough like it normally is. Usyk is legit.
I agree..usyk made aj look amateur'ish
@@stourleykracklite7663 Not one as skillfull and tough as USYK because he'll be caught with too money shots.

@@tobishonubi8327 frank bruno mate not bruno fernandes
I think Bruno was the better boxer. His jab was certainly superior. Right cross probably better. Faster footwork and better pivots.
Both have dodgy chins. Both European style lacking a bit of fluidity. Joshua hits harder and is stronger. Right uppercut, left hook superior to Bruno's. The way Joshua sets up and throws those punches is predictable though.
That would be a competitive fight. A very competitive fight.
If you think Frank Bruno (stiff as a board, goes to sleep if you tag his chin, lost his world title on first defence) is better than AJ you officially DKSAB. But I wouldn’t expect anything different from the patronage of this channel. Also LOL at the peeps saying Usyk is better than Holyfield. 😂

@jack tyler say that again!
AJ fan here. It is exactly what I have said after watching the fight too. I don’t see a way out of this for AJ. I think the only way he will have the slimmest of chances is if he goes up in weight brings the power and just tries to crush Usyk in round 1 or 2.
Sausage
That's a gamble, even at his lighter weight Anthony was struggling to tag Usyk. Anthony was big when he fought Any Ruiz and tried to take Ruizs head off and Ruiz caught Anthony for being wreck less. Usyk is a great boxer and remains undefeated because people under estimate him
Yes I agree, go back up in weight and just put it on him like Derick Chisora did. He can't win on points, so needs to try and brock him up within 4 rounds. He also needs to fight dirty I think.
Gotta laugh
He doesn’t need to go up in weight. It’s the lack of confidence to bully his opponent into fighting AJs kind of fight

Disappointed when AJ stood up at that BLM rally and read out the speech telling folk to only support black businesses.
AJ fought the wrong fight but the reason he didn't fight the right fight is because Usyk negated what AJ wanted to do 👍 I don't think Usyk can beat Fury though, Fury has the skills to match Usyk and he's much much bigger than Usyk.
Need to say usyk and fury next to eachother. Think usyk is better p4p but fury is just so so much bigger, different weight class
Fury can’t match Usyk in ability. Usyk will always be faster, and more skilful. However, cuz Fury’s a giant of a man, he will use his size to his advantage and make it a scruffy big man fight.
Nah Usyk is much better ability wise. It's just that the size difference and Tysons stamina is going to be hard to win against
Fury has great ability, he's not got to where he is just by being the size he is, he has good foot work and skills to pay the bills. I find his skills more impressive than Usyk, the speed and skill he has while being 6 foot 9 is immense.
He'll use skill as well as his size
Usyk is on a completely different level technically to any other heavyweight. No shame in losing to him. Fury will only beat him because he’s 3 stone heavier and much taller

What gets me is there saying aj had a bad night ,the fact is he wasn't good enough and never will be
Nice analysis and perspective... With you 100%
Same thing happened to Joe Frazier-one & done. Foreman was too big, too strong, hit too hard & Ali in the last two fights was just too fast, too slick. To have to overcome not just one, but two better-than-Joe-at-what-Joe-does opponents was impossible.
Nah Frazier was a totally different situation. 1) Frazier beat Ali to become undisputed, whilst AJ never achieved this 2) Frazier’s body was never the same after that fight, whilst AJ is still in his physical prime and instead has mental issues.
AJ has to make some substantial mental adjustments. The champ cannot play a nice guy in the ring. That's what went wrong the other night. Sasha outsmarted AJ from the weigh in on.
i always said AJ was overrated, he's looked weak in a lot of his recent fights
Ajs fans were unbearable. Aj boxed a 21st man and they thought he's the new Ali, all he had to do was walk around ruiz, it was one of the easiest fights in boxing history and he still made it look hard.
Only problem with this theory is that it’s hard to keep all those belts, even as the best. With every ‘Body’ wanting their own mandatory, I can see at least one if not two of those belts being vacated, and I reckon that’s AJ’s route back. Be interesting to see what comes next.
AJ can still win the rematch if he dominates him in the beginning and is the aggressor rather than trying to outbox him but he'll have to work out on his stamina to makesure he doesn't gas out😏
Good dream
It’s actually a shame to see soo many Brits happy of his downfall
The issue AJ has got now is that he doesn't have the power he had when he had more muscle. Being leaner gives him more stamina but he isn't a great boxer especially with less power. He should be advised to increase his muscle mass again its his only way back
Hahahahahaahha what do you took?
Much easier said than done. He needs a dominant jab and a chin to walk through his shots, neither of which he possesses. Usyk is also way to sharp and skillful for a bigger boxer with just a good jab and no chin. If AJ tries to wrestle, he gets in close and knocked out, all too easy.
Some ukranian guy shouted " aj no good" at eddie in that clip and that's what made him go mental! It was funny

Just because Usyk beat him doesn’t mean fury beats him….. but it’s looks highly unlikely

I don’t know enough about boxing to really judge it to the extent that most people seem to freely do but agree that AJ has been an exceptional champion and a great role model during his career. Shame he has grown so many new haters over this weekend.
I would like to see how the rematch goes if he comes in with the old hunger/attack levels from prior to the Ruiz defeat. Whether the result would be any different I do not know but I think it would certainly make for a good fight!
Cheers
Not respectful to Ruiz at all, to call him a fat f*ck then say no offense is pathetic and unwarranted. Also Brian is on the bigger side, just a distasteful comment
Exceptional champion???
Exceptional when compared to whom exactly?
If he's exceptional what was Muhammed Ali? What were Lennox Lewis, the Klitschkos, Joe Louis, Marciano, Holyfield, Foreman, Holmes...?
And what is Tyson Fury? And what about Usyk?
Don't be ridiculous....the only exceptional thing about that guy, is the way he quit against Ruiz.
That was indeed quite unique, to see a champion give up his belts like that, without any serious injury.
Another exceptional aspect about him is his look of pure panic and dismay whenever he gets hit even moderately hard.
Also the way he didn't show any will to win, nor bravery whatsoever against Usyk, was something quite remarkable...
Part of AJ's character seem fake to me, he seems like he's pretending to be humble and a nice guy. He had a long, slow, boastful walkout and saying "after Usyk" "the next fight", he seems like a posterboy, someone who believes his own hype while not being a great boxer, he's got the power and size to hide his lack of technical ability.
Plus his fans are mostly 13 year olds who know more about his brands than boxing
Nailed it.
AJ's style involves taking the first couple of rounds to figure out his opponent and then walking him down and hurting him. That's an extremely one-dimensional style and still worked well against the majority of his opponents as modern heavyweights don't have good head movement or footwork. The problem with fighting Usyk is that he's not just extremely fast, agile and technical but can also hurt AJ badly.
AJ needs to somehow find the KO, wish we didn't have to wait 6 months for the rematch x
I can see usyk taking a few months off and than saying I’m ready to start training again.
He wont ever find the ko !!
Not interested in the rematch. I wanna see him fight Fury.
Usyk was told by his corner don't go for the knockout. Come rematch time he may put some combinations together and actually k.o him this time
Think the way to beat Usyk is to be nasty and rough him up.. Even then its a massive task! I don't think AJ has that nastyness in him.
Never truer words spoken. Awesome post!
It was 5 seconds left in the 12th and final round when the bell rang to save Anthony Joshua from a knockout; go back and listen for the bell and count down and you will see
It’s rubbish. The tv graphic just wasn’t synced with the actual fight clock.
Yeah. Go and time it mate. You will see it was out of sync
Loving the videos Brian keep it up
2 losses and you're written off. Madness.
look at mma ... mcgregor comes back.. geordie jumps on and he has double the loses
Exactly let’s look at mike tyson or ali they both lost a lot of times but they’ll go down in as the greatest not comparing aj to them 2 just using it as an example
@@djdjd1485 its the trend to glorify the old who still lost but when the new generation loses, theyre done for and the hate begins.
It really is just a trend now.
Not written off - just not the best heavyweight in the world. There's no shame in that

fury must be rolling in his seat knowing he would've rolled the aj that fought usyk. regardless, i like aj and won't be giving up hope on him
I would be gutted if I was fury because that was an easy meal. It would have been one of his easiest fights and he would have unified. Their camp fucked it.
Listen, he could still win rematch. I'm fury fan, and still wanna see AJ vs fury fight. He jus needs to go all out. If usyk ends up winning again and fury beat wilder and whyte I'm happy for the usyk vs fury fight.
Fury will be pissed off,he not getting his easy 100mil fight 😂
Agree i have a strong feeling Aj is still dangerous with his shots and can ko someone even if he fights a skilled fighter therefore i think Aj will win rematch😊
Couldn't disagree with your AJ assessment more. Usyk was absolutely the better boxer but AJ did not turn up, he looked like a shell of his former self. He was gun shy, little to do with Usyks movement AJ was frightened to committing to engage. I think AJ could and should have had Usysk out in 8 but he did not play to his strengths.
Usyk absolutely did not walk through everything AJ offered, AJ hurt Usysk a couple of time but AJ did not maintain the pressure.
Not fanboying at all, just my personal assessment. AJ needs to work on his mental fortitude.
He needs people / trainers that can bring out that aggression that won't tell him he's brilliant every minute. I'd love to see AJ with that Kronk style!
Love your analysis. Very honest and down to earth. Keep it up 👍
I recon he has more of a chance than everyone is saying. Still very unlikely, but if he goes full on ‘fuck it’. I’m talking elbows, head buts, low blows at times. Rough him up like you hate his soul. For me, that’s AJs only path to victory. However, the fact that they were taking pictures before and after the fight and being really nice to each other, don’t think AJ has that in him.
I don’t think AJ could sustain that for over 2 rounds
@@fjfhrhrrurhrb7421 yeah there’s that too
Agreed. He has to go for a KO early!
Nice way to get a DQ
Many things wrong with AJ
-Head Hunter: AJ in many fights could’ve finished fights early if he went for the body more, especially in the Pulev fight. He has power and he has so many opportunities to finish the fight if he went to the body more.
-Weight: 240 is his best weight, 270 is way too big, all those muscles are the reason for the decrease in stamina, muscles that big need a lot of oxygen.
-Waiting for an opportunity/Too patient: Earlier in AJ’s fights he’d let his hands go, after that Ruiz fight, he switched to being patient and the finish will come, if he ever fought Wilder, I think Wilder would’ve bested him because he puts the pressure on his opponents.
About his weight he weighed exactly 240 pounds for this fight and he still had stamina issues
Oh piss off you wannabe expert. Usyk won because he's had 300 more fights
I think wilder would beat him now. Not that he's a technically superior boxer because he isn't however AJs chin is so suspect all it would take is one wilder shot and he'd be rocking all over the shop.
Now that wilder is improving his technique I'd have wilder to beat AJ.
@@k7tch who said I was an expert? So keep your mouth shut
@@Azad_2024_ yea I think so too
Wow this is just a superb analysis! Brilliant!
Thank you so much. Didn't realise what happened in the fight until this video thanks for your insight. Also, you're not an interviewer. You're a TH-camr. Just be that
An 11 month old prediction stands true, another dominant Usyk win and AJ's mental has broken completely
I reckon you're wrong to write him off completely Geordie. He's still pretty young. Give him a chance mate.
☝️
Hopefully I’m wrong!
@@TrueGeordie You're picks have been legendary recently though so we'll see 👊
Ruiz ruined AJ's career 😶
@@masungulodabigg6832 the ghost of that 1st fight has ruined his confidence big time, has’nt looked the same since..
The biggest joke was after the fight AJ said “it was going well up until the 9th round where my eye closed up”
WHAT? Going well??
Yeah
He probably meant from the 7th to the 9th, I'm sure he's not delusional enough to mean from round 1 to 9. That's Fury-level "I can beat them all with one arm behind me back", Wilder "costume was the reason I lost" level of delusion.
It started being one sided from round 8. You all like hyping thing way too much than they are. It was even up to the 7th. He lost all rounds after that
@@John-wu4rc are you joking? Out of the whole 12 rounds I’d say AJ only won about 4. It was an undeniable clear as day unanimous decision beat down and masterclass. Fury would kill AJ at this rate.
@@jamiestevens3074 Lolz. This is why i hate arguing with people online bacause some of you have brains but do not use them. If i said it was a draw till 8 and started being one sided after doesn't that mean that AJ had at least four of those first 8 rounds? Did i also not say he lost every round after the 8th? So what are you aruging about now? I only commented because of your first post where AJ himself said the same thing and you are screaming in the comment section over nothing. Some people man.
Usyks and Lomachenkos footwork are phenomenal
Nice one fella, for your honest and realistic opinions and your funny humour I'm going to like and subscribe.
Blimey - never watched this channel before but credit where credit is due.....Geordie bang on in your resumé... no nonsense plainly spoke truth..
1:26 "Thirty more seconds" are you kidding me! They literally rang the bell 6 seconds early to save him from getting knocked out. Luckily, the judges had no choice but to give it to Usyk, it was simply too obvious who won.
The ring side bell can be off from the tv timer version if you knew boxing you’d know this
@@JWAL-cu4gt why is it off
@@JWAL-cu4gt aj fan boy
@@willspencer8694 literally can’t stand AJ 😂
@@smichastine why or why
you can hear the cutoff of freetrade in the intro, top shithousery
as a AJ fan this was hard to hear but every thing he said was true, but AJ deserves another crack at Usyk who btw is the most likeable dude ever, great job Usyk - masterclass
edit: I think AJ has become gun shy, no dog in him anymore, if he doesn't learn, he'll never be champ again
Big AJ fan here and I agree. AJ has even lost his power. How will he win the rematch? It seems impossible. No power, no stamina, no mental. Usyk is not Ruiz.
Nice to see the respect from Geordie to AJ , no hate or maliciousness (for which there shouldn't need to be ) and the recognition of the skill of Usyk . In any given fight on any given day (or more usually a night ) anything can happen ....which makes boxing so unpredictable (for certain). I know nothing about boxing but surely they need to move away from these automatic rematches or even third fights until the "right" result is achieved - just blocks anyone else getting a look-in for many months...
Beautiful and honest analysis my brother. And yes you are correct in very way. We would LOVE to see Usyk vs Fury and hope this Beautiful fight happens late 2022?
I doubt that fight will happen. I don't think the build up is there for that fight as it would be for AJ V Tyson Fury
Man ! unbelievable description, analysis and predictions all together!! The only thing u missed worthy a mention is AJ chin. It is definitely thin.
Saying AJ will never be champion again is just indicative of Bryan’s total lack of boxing knowledge, he just regurgitates what he reads online, look at all other champions, people said Ali, lennox, Holyfield, Bruno etc would never be champions again, nobody knows whether or not if he will be, the heavyweight landscape is far too unpredictable to predict
Something about opinions and assholes?
Aj is a class fighter though you can’t take it away from him
Agreed
Yeah just not an all time great
Fighter not boxer he’s not a good boxer
@@shushshush4039 no. I get your point and I know the saying but AJ is a boxer with power, he isn’t an all out brawler. Same way Frank Bruno was a boxer.
Good against 40 year olds only
Why is this man not an official commentator for boxing yet?
EXPLAIN!!
Spot on as usual Brian ✊🏼
Eddie trying his hardest to sign Usyk to DAZN ASAP
Isn't Usyk signed to Matchroom? Shouldn't take long for him to sign Usyk to DAZN.
@@Beans360 yeah you’d think so
Forgive a (possibly) dumb question on my part? But is it not the case if you're signed to Matchroom you're aslo signed to DAZN by default?
@@ivanjulian2532 I don't think AJ is signed to DAZN even though he is with Matchroom. AJ vs Usyk was on DAZN except for in the UK when it was on Sky Sports.
@@Beans360 thank you for replying. Being Australian I can testify the DAZN streaming service to watch the AJ Usyk fight was excellent in every way. And really REALLY good value.
Ruiz kill his heart after that 1st fight he has change his fighting style.
.
Thats to much big statement
Spot on
So cringe this statement
I’m a AJ super fan and it was a very difficult thing to watch on Saturday. AJ can do so much better than that and his strongest attributes is his straight right / upper cut and left hook all of which were not thrown on Saturday. Can he win the rematch, yes with the right gameplan and using his natural advantages. If he try’s to box Usyk again forget about it.
I mean Usyk didn't come out of the match unscathed, but if AJ doesn't lose his team m8 he ain't gonna get another chance till 2024.
True. I picked Usky also in the first match & the rematch. Usky said he was surprised with AJ's performance, because he had trained for someone that was going to use their size & strenght, so that tells us that Usyk was ready no matter what AJ did, also he said knocking AJ out wasn't the plan. When asked is this the best Usyk, he replied I can be much better & I believe him as he showed as that in rounds 11 & 12, what tricks he has up his sleeve for AJ. No matter what AJ does, Usyk will adapt to the situation if he's losing rounds. I know Usyk can beat Tyson also.
Good analysis Brian
Great analysis & review with potential AJ pathways to victory (or not!) - fab content Geordie 👌🏼
This wasn’t the AJ we all loved watching , the wrecking ball who went for the jugular…this one has started talking about the sweet science, chess, and trying to sound like a fucking philosopher…it doesn’t suit him and he isn’t good enough. His only choice, stick a stone on /‘d go and bully the bloke ,
His arsehole has gone. Anyone with eyes and a small amount of interest in boxing knows this. Ruiz stole something from him. It's a almost unmeasurable, but it was there now it's gone. He loses the rematch. If they fight 10 times. He has been great. But not the top, top, level. Never was. Never will be.
It’s haunting him that 1st fight, I wonder if he’s had scares sparring since to add to his woes
I will come back here when Aj win the rematch. Don't change your words then.
The fact that there's even a rematch clause for a mandatory is crazy in true re-matchroom style.
