Don't parade our flag about after you just threw my belts, and are stealing my moment. Don't promote yourself as a huminatarian by whoring out our country
A mistake is forgetting to pick up the milk on the way home from work. Throwing a man's belts out of the ring and going on a childish rant is willful misconduct and disgraceful.
Were u dropped on your head as a baby? A mistake is anything you regret, whether great or small, he didnt throw the belts thinking about usyk, it was his way of saying "f the belts I'm pissed" he gave usyk great credit and childish rant do mean speaking his heart? You people are so sinless it's incredible
Why are you more offended than Usyk, his manager and his team. Even most Ukrainians watching were giving credit to AJ for holding the Ukrainian flag, praising Usyk and his greatness. How are Brits pretending to be more upset with AJ's action than Usyk and the Ukrainians he supposedly offended. 😂
i mean, to win the heavyweight championship of the world, surely it takes some level of ego and entitlement. Not to say these aren't bad qualities, but it they are prevalent in many champions, and often its what makes them great
You’re supposed to have that ego, you know what sugar ray said, “to prove you can beat me, you have to do it twice”. Uysk did that and history changed forever
Think Joshua had a complete breakdown and it was embarrassing to see, full credit to Usyk for keeping calm while his moment was stolen, Usyk is a class man as well as a class fighter
@@mitchsanderson8206 So if someone assualts you and the gives you a half-assed apology will you immediately "get over it"? Joshua acted like a complete muppet, and not for the first time. Your hero is a very deeply flawed human being. Deal with it.
@@smokemeakipper1076 look on sporting icons channel all suporting aj but I'd expect nothing different from a matchroom fanboy channel like his pricks blocked me because is boxing knowledge is pizz poor
Yes it was bloody embarrassing. The sign of a true sportsman is to be dignified in defeat and show respect to the competition that has outclassed them. To throw the belts was bad enough but to storm off and then return to steel Usyk’s thunder was unforgivable. Look how Lewis Hamilton came up and shook Verstappen by the hand even though he felt he had been cheated. He gained respect from fans who probably didn’t support him because he was sporting. Joshua has lost fans through being un sporting. He was out boxed end of.
The biggest cringe………”what’s going on in Ukraine, isn’t nice!” Jesus, I cringe for Joshua every time I think about that line, as it was, delivered in the company of a lad who actually served his country in military uniform. Such an ignorant fool!
Usyk is a real man. He's not going to get triggered. If anything he probably partially understood that AJ was having a meltdown, like humans do at times, and probably pitied him. Throwing the belts was too far though, even during a meltdown
Usyk's mind is somewhere else - focused on a way more serious matters than this silly "kindergarten". He could not care less about some narcissistic cry-baby when his country is being annihilated and his friends are being killed at the front line!
Let's get this straightened out, he lost the fight, stormed out the ring, threw out uysk's belts, then stole the mic from Usyk to speak first to talk about himself.... Yea let's all get behind him.
Exactly. And if you aren’t an AJ fan you are a low-life scum. Matchroom tried that narrative last night. It will be interesting to see what spin they put on it this week.
Yep, it's that overwhelming sense of Entitlement that's taught from Birth & becomes embedded in the DNA!!!🙄 Remember what he said right in Usyks face when he went on his rant AFTER the Verdict was announced!!! How did you beat ME! You're not strong!!! I.e Meaninig you're a white boy!!!
You racists hate on him either way so he doesn’t give a crap about what you think now 🤡 damned if he does damned if he doesn’t. If this was fury you’d be goating him
Its such a breath of fresh air listening to this guy , the only presenter on Talksport who speaks the truth. This is an example of a bully being put in his place by a smaller man, he is that used to his sycophants blowing smoke up his arse that he thinks he is better than he is, and a split decision give me a break he is lucky if he won 3 rounds, and then the post fight press conference where Spencer Oliver was telling him he was outboxing Usyk, really he must have been watching a different fight and the talksport boxing team were an embarrassment on the night with their fawning over Joshua.
I think this is a strange one because everyone keeps talking about 'the pressure' that AJ has been under. Usyk was fighting in a war. Left his homeland and some of his family and friends behind, to fight for a world championship, while his country is still being invaded. One of those scenarios sounds like pressure to me, the other scenario sounds like someone who believed their own hype for too long (eg: his corner telling him he won rounds when he did not) and finally getting a reality check. AJ can box, he just met a man who is a far superior boxer to him and should learn from this, that he is a good boxer and NOT a great boxer.
He is overhyped for years! He got talent I give him that. But he lost against a small fatty tequilla named Ruiz. I am honestly surprised that people still took him seriously. This guy has totally not a KO power in his hands. If you do this in kickbox he wont survive a second in one round. People around him made him bigger and they need him to make money for them. All these promotors are the same.
They've known for years. It's common knowledge that Joshua and his team have dodged Wilder, Fury and a host of super credible US fights for literal years in favour of fighting nobody's at home in the 02 - happy to take the money and let him be the poster boy because they all knew once he gets in with an actual elite fighter its all over. His record is the definition of padded, the only recognisable name on there is Klitschkow and he was like 80 when AJ bravely stepped into the ring and made a fucking meal out of that as well.
The mask slipped as whyte said . Anyone apart from Aj done that on sat night would have been fed to the wolves this morning FACTS . And the statement he’s made is not real from him it’s from a voice in his ear called Eddie Hearn , to save the DAZN backing , the sponsors etc etc . Keeping the gravy train running 👍
Fed to the wolves? Said he is stronger than Usyk and Usyk out-skilled him. Chucked some belts out of the ring that really mean nothing. Paid respect to Usyk and his win. If it was anyone else less would’ve been said but he’s meant to be this clean ambassador of the sport. Made a rod for his own back, his name has been built as a business so people are upset to see him be annoyed because he should only be an upstanding citizen at all times. Fuck that, it’s better that then a press conference “I tried my hardest in their tonight, me and the team will go back to the drawing board and try and come back better” That’s boring as f***, if you feel a certain way, express it, he didn’t start punching people up.
@@jarviswest4888 The reason why so many more people favoured AJ instead of clearly superior boxers like Tyson Fury and Usyk, was boxer AJ was indeed an ambassador for boxing who has a calm charismatic persona that makes snowflakes and casual fans becoming more comfortable with the thought of getting more involved with the boxing world. The seeing AJ get upset in public has clearly spooked them, hence the overreaction from fans. No one bats an eye when Tyson Fury tells Wilder to crawl back up his mother's womb, because Tyson Fury has always been a distasteful person and does not hide it.
So true, i,v been saying that for years, frustration, concussion, self centered narrsacism.......spoilt brat syndrome......finaly exposed for what he really is, a shallow hollow empty man with no character.......
@@glovesup5735 Hardly a good CV as todays heavyweights are a joke compared to the past.He is way too rigid and upright, just about zero head movement and where were any combinations against Usyk?? Over hyped definitely fits the bill, just like Deontay Wilder.
He's absolutely bang on the button, He's been told he's the greatest and what he said about the other fighters is correct, Eddie hearn talks about resume but look at the standard of those fighters and age.... well done Simon
I am deeply traumatised by AJ'S action. I think there should be a criminal investigation. The belts could have hurt someone. This totally unacceptable I am deeply upset by this outburst.
Not sure it’s unforgivable throwing belts out of the ring apart from the Ring Magazine belt. The boxing governing bodies are as corrupt as a banana republic or shall we say the “kingdom” where the fight took place on Saturday night. Please don’t attach any respect to one of the world boxing governing bodies because they are mostly run by charlatans and the biggest crooks this side of Medellin!
He should have came back.. and if he felt the need to take the mic, congratulate usyk, apologise for throwing the belts, goback to the changing room and let usyk enjoy his moment. If he had more to say use the post match news conference.
When he's not being told what to say, his real weird personality and self entitlement comes out. His rant was unhinged and he got a boxing lesson because he's an average fighter
Jeez, Joshua has just lost the respect of millions of boxing fans around the World, throwing those belts out of the ring, was the most disrespectful thing that he could have done, especially to the champion Usyk, but also to the sport of boxing, i am glad that he got beat, & its the result that i expected. In the sport of boxing the belts are the prize, & that was Usyk,s moment, but selfish Joshua made it all about him. As for him retiring, that is NOT going to happen, as long as "shyester" Eddie knows that there is money to be made, he will NOT let him, but his behaviour was embarrassing, & shameful.
Like the previous people who commented said, keep your foking respect for yourself. You will make a judgement call on Joshua like those three stooges (including Graeme Souness who's had more scandals than you can count your fingers, check back when he was coaching Blackburn. If memory serves me well, he was even called a racist. What about that Simon Jordan? Don't get me started) and hold an ever changing, lying Fury in high estime. The same guy who said he would fight for free, and now is asking for 500 millions for a title fight. The same guy who said he would give his purse money to charity, and the charity never saw a dime...... Just shove your foking respect where the sun doesn't shine
The thing I disagree with is: “Give him credit for taking the fight. Most fighters would have taken an easier fight then got back in to things and fought Usyk” For clarification, this is not how boxing works. Most fighters, when given the opportunity to fight for five belts, JUMP at the opportunity. To turn down a shot at the belts is literally unheard of. Additionally, had he taken another easier fight, it could have been years before he had another shot at them. So taking the fight was expected…not an act of bravery IMO.
Not really.....AJ didnt have to fight Usyk in the first place he could have avoided him and ducked him and chose easier options....he welcomed the challenge came up short....tried to rebuild and come back stronger....ultimatley came up short again.....but alot of boxers in his position would not do the same thing for example Mayweather.
This is not true. Wilder and Ortiz turned down shots at multiple belts when they ducked AJ for years. It happens more than you think due to promotor and network disputes.
It's a harsh reality when you find out there is someone who is simply better than you, no matter how much work you put in, how much you think you've improved and changed trainers to become better, how much you want to win, and they still have your number. That's what the rant and histrionics came down to for AJ, an emotional realisation that his best isn't better than this guy's best.
Simon Jordan the only man with the balls to tell the truth. All these people defending AJ's behaviour are part of the problem. I hope AJ really learns from this and comes back stronger.
@@microfarming8583 we like to see a bit of fight and edge to fighters. He made adjustments from their last fight so clearly they told him the truth after that fight
Too many "Yes" men around him, nobody dare tell him the truth. He caused an embarrassment on Saturday night and yet all the yes men are still defending him
It just seems that Usyk’s brain is sharp and works on another level. That sharpness transfers to all of his movements that are just so slick. Even his speech has a sharpness to it. It’s probably a gift that helps him think faster than opponents.
AJ disgraced his entire career by throwing this temper tantrum. I don’t see how anyone can be a fan of his anymore. Prior to this I was ambivalent, but now I just cannot bring myself to root for him. I have no hatred toward him, but won’t be a fan of his. At least with Fury, you know what you are getting. He doesn’t put on airs and I respect that much more n
I lost respect for him in the BLM aftermath and the 'spend your money etc' .... so bitter and resentful for a man originating 'proudly' no less from Jamaica who actually became a multi millionaire in the land of white supremacy, Britain 🙄 ....
When he had the belts he cherrised and travelled everywhere with them, even to Nigeria and let the president hold them. Now all of a sudden they are "worthless" to him 😂, a body builder he is.
100 percent right mate. I think they should of held the fight in Vegas.....in a country which has no moral or ethical issues what so ever a country which isn't responsible for the death of millions of peoples.
i got called racist for saying i’m supporting Usyk over AJ, as a brit. AJ isn’t relatable to the working class in britain, he’s arrogant, racist and a just a bully. happy for usyk 🇬🇧
Usyk - Free my country it's being bombed and there's bloodshed. But, still managed to do a full camp and defend 3 Heavyweight Titles. AJ - I went to prison once for selling drugs!
If AJ was in Ukraine.. He'd come here, claim asylum, get a free flat and then claim asylum.. By the way he'd still hate white people, sad immature fella
You know what, Simon Jordan might actually be the most on the nose sports pundit out there. Doesn't shy away from saying what can be taken the wrong way, and has his integrity in tact because of it.
LOL they are praising AJs bravery for taking the fight. He's 3" taller and 2 stone heavier. USYK is the warrior, the winner and the champion and just plain THE BETTER MAN who won.
Much love and respect to Usyk for being a hero to his country. AJ went into full Femi mode over the fight, he tried but Usyk was always a step ahead of him. Usyk is an all time great and is up there with Mayweather and Ward. As one of the best fighters that's come out of the past 20 years.
@@trublu72lewis77 he is probably referring to the first Kovalev fight, it was a close fight 3 of us watched at home, two of us wanted Ward to win, the other wanted Kovalev, all three of us had Ward by one round, same as the judges. Had it gone to Kovalev by the same score nobody could argue, one thing is for sure it wasn't a robbery.
The Joshua project was the biggest scam in boxing, Joshua deep down is a decent person but thankfully his project is now washed and his cheerleaders contributed towards that. Are the boxing fans allowed back in the boxing media now?
How exactly is he a decent person deep down if it's the biggest scam in boxing? Decent people aren't street thugs a drug dealers, regardless of whether they're poor or not!
Trying to take the centre of the ring was Joshua's downfall, he should have dragged him to the corners and leaned on him and roughed him up, but he gave a supreme boxer space to move around. Simon is absolutely spot on here.
@@saidesimon3144 Only one way to beat Usyk, Fury will negate him and basically tie him up, and wear him down, he's too small to handle the size of Fury.
I agree with this, he needed to do a kronk, and bully the crap out of the smaller man, scrag him like a Pitbull with a rabbit otherwise he's carrying around 4 stone for nothing.
He took over like a bully and pissed on Usyk's parade whilst subtly mocking and patronising him...absolutely classless and distasteful...it was embarrasing to watch 🤦♂️
Never lost a fight in his career Tyson Fury the gypsy king so they can all talk about the greatest there will never ever be another Tyson Fury he will retire at champion after his next fight piece of coola boola
Anyone can seem nice when they’re winning but this losing spree has shown us the real Anthony Joshua. He simply can’t accept he was beaten by a smaller but much more talented man who let’s not forget spent half of last year running around with a rifle while AJ was at the gym. He was simply outclassed both during and after the fight.
As soon as the bell rang at the end of the twelfth, he’d gained a lot more respect from me. After the schooling he’d gotten in the first fight I was shocked by how much he’d closed the gap and gave a really good account of himself. He was just beaten by a better boxer, and there’s no shame in losing to someone with the quality Usyk possesses. Everything after that completely took away all the respect I had for him. I’d already grown weary of his virtue signalling nonsense prior, with all the BLM stuff, etc, but was still a fan of his. I judged him on his performance. After his petulant, arrogant, embarrassing outburst I’ve lost all respect. He embarrassed the entire country. To be so condescending towards a guy who’s handily beaten him twice and calling for “hip hip hoorays” afterwards was just cringeworthy beyond belief. I was actually blushing with second hand embarrassment. I could feel my cheeks flushing. I saw a man who’d put the best version of himself, as a boxer, in the ring and still coming up short. Still not good enough. Then the crushing realisation that he’s probably never getting to where he was in the sport ever again. Must be difficult to stomach but it’s no excuse to show the level of condescension, disrespect and contempt for his opponent and the sport.
Stanetti Els, absolutely spot on. Aj did embarrass the entire country. Me personally, I could never show AJ an ounce of respect after that. You have to earn respect. AJ somehow thinks he is entitled to it. My dad taught me something when I was young. He said "you can do good things all your life, but if you do something wrong, that is what people will remember and you will lose any respect people have for you!" Someone should have told AJ that!
Absolutely spot on here from Simon! The racist, BLM virtue signalling from Joshua, and his clear contempt for the good people of this beautiful country (85% of which are white) damaged his reputation irreparably. He showed us his true colours there and continues to do so with every public statement he makes. The mask continues to slip. To unfairly accuse this tolerant country of discrimination whilst repeatedly fighting in Saudi Arabia and saying sweet FA about the horrendous discrimination there is pretty rich. The majority of British boxing fans dislike Joshua, and it's not hard to see why. His speech on Saturday just reinforced this...
If Joshua had rightly been arrested and charged with hate speech two years ago, maybe that was kick in the back side he desperately needed and been a better person for it.
In a way one can feel sorry for Joshua but let's not forget this is the guy labeled as suppose to have been one of the all time greats not to mention the huge amount of money he's made,since Ruz loss whats ge really done.He got demolished in the first Ruiz fight and looked pathetic in the rematch,nothing to substantiate an all time great by any means so let's hope Usyk exposed not only JOSHUA but the dismally state the heavyweight division has become in the last 20 years.
Bruce, I understand your sentiment, but let’s consider a few things. AJ is an international superstar. He gets pretty much what he wants when he wants it. Never has to worry about money again, and does what he wants. Then you have the real world. I lost my wife of 30 years and 17 year old daughter in the span of months. People are truly suffering around the world, and here is AJ throwing a childish fit, acting like a prima-Donna pretty much demanding everyone feel sorry for him. Essentially he has lost touch with reality IMO. I have no hatred toward the man, but simply cannot bring my self to feel sorry for him, in any way, shape, or form. Especially when you consider all the talk he’s done in the past about “staying humble” and “accepting life’s challenges with dignity”. He obviously doesn’t practice what he preaches and that is the true disappointment here. I hope that makes sense as to why some people find it hard to feel sorry for him. I see no point in kicking anyone when they are down (regardless of how trivial it is) but feeling sympathy for them is a bit much from my perspective. To each is own, however. I’m just giving another side of the equation. Thx
Also, you mentioned AJ’s abilities. I agree completely with you he is a good heavyweight…at best. Certainly not this generational hall of fame fighter Hearns made him out to be. Go back to the Ruiz loss. Watch AJ in the ring grab the mic right out of Ruiz’s hands, and walk around the the ring making it all about him. Up until that point I was ambivalent toward AJ. However at that moment I realized he is not what he claims to be.
Imagine giving a boxer props for taking a hard fight. Wow, can't believe I heard that. How can you want a fighter to swerve tough fights and then be taken seriously when you mention his resume? They should ONLY take the toughest fights.
@Boxing Truth Avoided Ortiz and offered him $7m to replace Jarell Miller avoided Wilder yet offered him $120m for 2 fights? So many casuals in boxing🤣🤣🤣
@Boxing Truth Avoided Chisora??? Joshua has already beaten numerous guys who have beaten or are better than Chisora, such as Klitshko, Whyte, Povetkin, and Parker. Whyte and Parker both beat Chisora twice in the last few years (maybe look up their records?). Also, Ortiz is overrated by Wilder fans. He only got to the amateur World Championship quarter finals in 2004, whilst Povetkin whom Joshua TKO'd, won Olympic and World Championship gold in 2002 and 2003. Povetkin also has a better resume than Ortiz as a pro. Wilder and Fury tied each other up for the last few years with their 3 fight trilogy, and purposely locked Joshua out of fighting them. Wilder himself said that he chose to fight Fury for less money, rather than take a higher offer to fight Joshua. Before that Wilder was fighting people outside of the top 20 for his title defences, like Washington, Molina, Spizka, an unranked fat retired Stiverne, etc, and avoiding anyone good like Klitchko. And Fury was serving an 18 month drugs ban and was out of the sport. Wilder's team mainly chose to fight Fury because they thought the man was broken by his 18 month lay off. Fury had drug problems, severe depression, and ballooned up to over 400lbs. However, to Wilder's surprise, a below 100% Fury completely outboxed him. Then after Fury had a bit more time to get back to his best, Wilder found that he had no chance, and he was battered around the ring for the next 2 fights. You should change your name to Boxing Biased, because I'm not even a Joshua fan, but I have to be fair to him and say that his resume is decent, and he has fought a lot more top 10 fighters than Wilder, whose resume was truly awful before the Fury trilogy. Wilder gets some props for those 3 fights, because Fury is No1, but like I said, I think that he first picked Fury because the guy was not 100% from his lay off and health issues. Then he had to keep rematching him because Fury was beating him, and he wanted to reclaim his title.
His expectations were so cut off. His always been pretending and that is exactly what Dillian Wythe has been trying to tell the whole world that AJ is not real and is fake. I'm so upset and disappointed in him. No excuses. He should just call it a day. He tried to give reasons for his wayward behavior but messed it up more. I believe it was a complete mental breakdown.
After another one sided mismatch, the night will be remembered for Washua screaming that he had an ASBO when he was 17, then crying mental health and all his cheerleaders who are scared to lose the pay cheque cheering him wtf.
AJ is a very fortunate guy, he’s made a ton of money in this average era, 70’s/80’s and he wouldn’t stand a chance. AJ needs to learn to hit the opponent and not thin air👍.. good luck to him but unfortunately for him, he is very limited..
@@NOBODY-cn6fj Lewis and mcall are totally different levels to aj his best wins was klich who was 41 m8 aj only did ok with matchroom in house fights Parker always been a 12 rounder taken I thought was stopped to early ruiz beat him convincingly rematch was pants and usyk only 4 fights at hw schooled him twice
He said something very uncomplintary about Marciano....Joshua could not have lived with that man marciano would have brutalised him...he's an over rated no body and he will never beat fury or anyone else who I's at the top flight and his reaction shows him up for what he is....he should have taken the legendary Joe Lewis advice...when you lose say little when u win say less that man had true character Joshua is simply a character pathetic.....
You're absolutely correct sir, Joshua couldn't carry Marciano's Jock Strap!!! He would have shit his little black panties if he'd been facing "the Brockton Blockbuster!" over the old championship distance of 15rnds wearing 8oz horse hair gloves!!!🤔🤨🧐👍
When you have fan boys like Simon Jordan defending Joshua when for when he goes out threatening break students jaw, his ego is going to reach a level when he thinks it's always about him Jordan still defending him😂🤣😅 He took the fight because he had nowhere else to go. And, no, he couldn't have gone back in at a later stage, as Usyk would not be contractual obliged to give him a fight, and would go on to fight Tyson Fury. Also he took the fight as Usyk was at his weakest, fighting a war back in his home country.
You just contradicted yourself, if he had to take the fight because usyk was obligated to take it then and didn't want to miss his chance then aj didn't take the fight when usyk was at his weakest it just happened that way, the fight was going to take place months ago but was put back so usyk could fight for his country so stopping chatting shite.
@@staytrue5307 Nope, he had the option not to take the rematch. The loser has option to trigger the clause. And he couldn't beat Usyk at his weakest. And Usyk was fighting for his country, but was told that he could go back and fight to represent his nation and bring his people something to rally around.
I'm reading alot of things around Usyk not actually fighting in the war and being allowed to train etc, but his family still must be fighting and potentially dieing in this war. Mentality this guy has is incredibly strong, AJ shouldn't had tried to take the limelight from him, that ultimately was such poor taste..
@@2HatHudders He was deployed around Kiev, so not on the front lines, but still not in training camp and also not fully focused on this fight He was also not required to be there as he has 3 children How Joshua tried to use the Ukraine flag as a prop for PR, really shows you want he is about.
@@bl4ckkn1g8t5 thanks for the info! Yeah proper virtue signalling, hold the flag but take those photos after the speeches, and give Usyk is moment.. he thoroughly deserves after 24 rounds.
He never created “his hype” it’s Mr Hearn that’s responsible for that. Unfortunately much of the public also believe the hype. AJ has nothing to be ashamed of , he fought his heart out and has always tried his best, there’s nothing else a man can do.
I wrote a comment the other day saying I am beginning to like him. Well now I love him.. he has the Bollox to say what others won't... Proper journalism in an industry of yes men and social justice warrior. God bless Simon Jordan greetings from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪
AJ believed Hearns hype, its back to reality, lost 3 times and hasn’t even yet fought Wilder or Fury… AJ is over rated!! TWO fights outside the UK and lost both, beat Klitschko who was old and past his best. JOSHUA is a modern day media/Social media hyped boxer who fell into the trap of believing it…
It's embarrassing the excuses made by his media mates. We see through your BS guys. That entitled behaviour is unacceptable and the criticism is acceptable
Imagine wining about your hardluck story while being a multi millionaire and the other bloke just returned from fighting in a war. Usyk is ten times the man Joshua thinks he is.
‘Walk down to the ATM and look at you’re £40million.. that’s respect’ No, you have to earn respect, it’s not given. And after that display from AJ.. think everybody had just lost respect for him. That was pathetic and unclassy for a guy with his status.
@@ChrisMetaFootballTV Forget the fights.. I’m literally just talking about how he’s handled that whole situation after his 2nd loss. That was like watching a baby in a man’s body..
Disgusting things in the ring: 1) Joshua taking the limelight 2) sucker punching the winner 3) “don’t brag about my side piece!!” 4) ear bite 5) mcall loses his head
I thought Joshua for a little while after the fight, was the real Joshua not the contrived PR creation, he acted like the street thug & bully he was and is!, then he made a real fool of himself with the speech and disrespected Usyk's moment. As to the fight, he was very ineffective for the first 6 rounds, gave Usyk a lot of trouble in the 9th and gassed himself out in the 10th.....my observation is if you're not a 12 round fighter, you shouldn't be taking 12 round fights!
I’ll keep this simple, Jordan does talk a lot of sense and none more so than here.. can be said better and it needs to be said by all because it’s the simple truth
I couldn't agree more with Simon Jordan. He put everything about AJ succinctly into context. AJ is a PR dictated, E Hearn guided fighter off the Matchroom conveyor belt. Most of what he says is rehearsed and premeditated.
After his first defeat to Usyk, I stated many times that AJ taking a rematch immediately after it was one of the biggest management and marketing mistakes of all time. AJ needed to fight Wilder, Fury and then come back to Usyk as the "mandatory" after having honed his skills more. Getting spanked back-to-back like this has hurt him in many ways (besides his cringe meltdown). AJ's management failed him; his trainer's failed him and AJ failed his fans who wanted to see the Fury/Joshua fight more.
Totally agree with all above 👏👏 He needs to get back in the ring ASAP & arrange any of these for December wilder or even otto wallin Joe Joyce Michael hunter.. Daniel Dubois But I'm guessing management & Eddie hearne want easy pickings now 🤔
@@mannazee the damage is done- he needs to stay in the elite fights or he might as well retire. Going down in quality will only set him up for bigger devastation.
Again the disrespect towards Joshua is still continuing, people saying he's "no good" or he was "overhyped" what a load of nonsense.. You're all acting like he's fought bums his entire career and then suddenly fought an elite fighter and lost.. That's not the case whatsoever. He has beaten PLENTY of Top 15 ranked boxers, so quite clearly he IS a very good boxer, is he the elite of the elite? No of course not but he's probably the 3rd best Heavyweight of his era and there's no shame in that. Deontay Wilder is the perfect example of someone who had fought bums his entire career and then got found out at the elite level. Wilder hasn't beaten the likes of Klitschko, Povetkin, Whyte, Ruiz, Parker etc.. Give Joshua the credit he deserves.
Klitchko,, over 40... povetkin,, over 40.. whyte, , most overatted hw contender since Audley... ruiz,, 6 inches shorter and fat as a pig... Parker,, ref wouldn't let em get near each other....
His only proper performance was against an ageing Klitschko. If these opponents were top ranked or not, isn’t relevant. They weren’t elite whatsoever. He’s come up against his first “elite” opponent and lost. Simple.
At first I was pissed when i saw that post fight speech from AJ. Now days, i still don't like it but I think he genuinely had a breakdown. Training and putting all that work in and still not coming out with a win. He made other comments where he alluded to the fact that Usyk isn't strong but has skill. I don't think he's saying that he's weak but more that he doesn't rely on strength but rather technique, footwork, angles, etc. I think Joshua was frustrated that no matter how hard he works he cant match the skill level of Usyk no shorten that gap with strength. In the end i still don't like his behavior after the fight but I've come to understand it better --Boxing fan from the US
Funniest bit was when Usyk went up to him and took the Ukraine flag back - kind of like don't associate our country with your shite.
Yeah I noticed that 😂👍🏻
A country not yet swamped by the third world. Usyk spent time in London and was like…..Net.
Don't parade our flag about after you just threw my belts, and are stealing my moment. Don't promote yourself as a huminatarian by whoring out our country
Yep, class.. 😉
That too was my initial thought when I saw that. I bet Usyk thought Joshua was full of shit.
A mistake is forgetting to pick up the milk on the way home from work. Throwing a man's belts out of the ring and going on a childish rant is willful misconduct and disgraceful.
Were u dropped on your head as a baby? A mistake is anything you regret, whether great or small, he didnt throw the belts thinking about usyk, it was his way of saying "f the belts I'm pissed" he gave usyk great credit and childish rant do mean speaking his heart? You people are so sinless it's incredible
Lol too true
Why are you more offended than Usyk, his manager and his team. Even most Ukrainians watching were giving credit to AJ for holding the Ukrainian flag, praising Usyk and his greatness. How are Brits pretending to be more upset with AJ's action than Usyk and the Ukrainians he supposedly offended. 😂
Speaks someone who clearly has never faced anything relative to what AJ was facing.
@@jmcc8718 what Joshua did was very wrong but there was no excuse for it! All worked out well in the end 😎
He may as well have said "He must be great to beat me!" It was some sort of ego, entitlement meltdown.
i mean, to win the heavyweight championship of the world, surely it takes some level of ego and entitlement. Not to say these aren't bad qualities, but it they are prevalent in many champions, and often its what makes them great
Yeah, pretty close to what he did say.
Lee Ingram. If you watch the recent video by sky sports you'll hear exactly what AJ said to usyk in the ring afterwards.
He did say that 😂😂
You’re supposed to have that ego, you know what sugar ray said, “to prove you can beat me, you have to do it twice”. Uysk did that and history changed forever
Think Joshua had a complete breakdown and it was embarrassing to see, full credit to Usyk for keeping calm while his moment was stolen, Usyk is a class man as well as a class fighter
Was embarrassing but I feel for him too.

@@mitchsanderson8206 So if someone assualts you and the gives you a half-assed apology will you immediately "get over it"? Joshua acted like a complete muppet, and not for the first time. Your hero is a very deeply flawed human being. Deal with it.

Racist
The Ukrainian warrior versus the spoilt London boy. Joshua antics were cringe worthy. He should hang his gloves up.

Stormed out

I cringe every time I hear Joshua saying "hip hip hooray" 🤣
I cringe every time I see him or hear his voice
Yes it was bloody embarrassing. The sign of a true sportsman is to be dignified in defeat and show respect to the competition that has outclassed them. To throw the belts was bad enough but to storm off and then return to steel Usyk’s thunder was unforgivable. Look how Lewis Hamilton came up and shook Verstappen by the hand even though he felt he had been cheated. He gained respect from fans who probably didn’t support him because he was sporting. Joshua has lost fans through being un sporting. He was out boxed end of.
Well to be fair Joshua doesn't know the words to 'for he's a jolly good fellow' 😂
The biggest cringe………”what’s going on in Ukraine, isn’t nice!”
Jesus, I cringe for Joshua every time I think about that line, as it was, delivered in the company of a lad who actually served his country in military uniform.
Such an ignorant fool!
I actually cringe in every bit of his speech there.
Throwing the belts, was seriously out of order, how usyk kept his cool was everything.
Usyk is a real man. He's not going to get triggered. If anything he probably partially understood that AJ was having a meltdown, like humans do at times, and probably pitied him. Throwing the belts was too far though, even during a meltdown
@@GoGetYourShinebox very well said.
@@GoGetYourShinebox He probably just felt sorry for him.
Usyk's mind is somewhere else - focused on a way more serious matters than this silly "kindergarten". He could not care less about some narcissistic cry-baby when his country is being annihilated and his friends are being killed at the front line!
Disgraceful attitude from Joshua. Shows entitlement, narcissism and poor sportsmanship.
Let's get this straightened out, he lost the fight, stormed out the ring, threw out uysk's belts, then stole the mic from Usyk to speak first to talk about himself.... Yea let's all get behind him.
Exactly. And if you aren’t an AJ fan you are a low-life scum. Matchroom tried that narrative last night. It will be interesting to see what spin they put on it this week.
Yep, it's that overwhelming sense of Entitlement that's taught from Birth & becomes embedded in the DNA!!!🙄
Remember what he said right in Usyks face when he went on his rant AFTER the Verdict was announced!!! How did you beat ME! You're not strong!!! I.e Meaninig you're a white boy!!!
Exactly. It’s disgusting behaviour. If someone like Adrian Broner did that the world would be lambasting him.
You racists hate on him either way so he doesn’t give a crap about what you think now 🤡 damned if he does damned if he doesn’t. If this was fury you’d be goating him
Its such a breath of fresh air listening to this guy , the only presenter on Talksport who speaks the truth. This is an example of a bully being put in his place by a smaller man, he is that used to his sycophants blowing smoke up his arse that he thinks he is better than he is, and a split decision give me a break he is lucky if he won 3 rounds, and then the post fight press conference where Spencer Oliver was telling him he was outboxing Usyk, really he must have been watching a different fight and the talksport boxing team were an embarrassment on the night with their fawning over Joshua.
Jeez, Oliver is another one who just loves "sucking up" to Joshua, he can,t help himself.

LMAO 🤣🤣🤣
I saw this comment half an hour ago, and I'm still laughing my head off.
‘Started his own podcast’ cracked me up 🤣😂😂😂
I think this is a strange one because everyone keeps talking about 'the pressure' that AJ has been under. Usyk was fighting in a war. Left his homeland and some of his family and friends behind, to fight for a world championship, while his country is still being invaded. One of those scenarios sounds like pressure to me, the other scenario sounds like someone who believed their own hype for too long (eg: his corner telling him he won rounds when he did not) and finally getting a reality check. AJ can box, he just met a man who is a far superior boxer to him and should learn from this, that he is a good boxer and NOT a great boxer.
👌
Usyk was NOT on the frontline you believe that PR stunt. He was supporting but not on the frontline you gullible fool.
I doubt he shot a single bullet
@@marcusbennett93 Maybe, maybe not but his home is still being invaded and loved ones being killed

AJ just isn't as good as all the ppl around him have been telling him. The grim realisation hit home once the scorecards came in and he lost it.
He is overhyped for years! He got talent I give him that. But he lost against a small fatty tequilla named Ruiz. I am honestly surprised that people still took him seriously. This guy has totally not a KO power in his hands. If you do this in kickbox he wont survive a second in one round. People around him made him bigger and they need him to make money for them. All these promotors are the same.
They've known for years. It's common knowledge that Joshua and his team have dodged Wilder, Fury and a host of super credible US fights for literal years in favour of fighting nobody's at home in the 02 - happy to take the money and let him be the poster boy because they all knew once he gets in with an actual elite fighter its all over. His record is the definition of padded, the only recognisable name on there is Klitschkow and he was like 80 when AJ bravely stepped into the ring and made a fucking meal out of that as well.

Fed to the wolves?
Said he is stronger than Usyk and Usyk out-skilled him. Chucked some belts out of the ring that really mean nothing. Paid respect to Usyk and his win. If it was anyone else less would’ve been said but he’s meant to be this clean ambassador of the sport. Made a rod for his own back, his name has been built as a business so people are upset to see him be annoyed because he should only be an upstanding citizen at all times. Fuck that, it’s better that then a press conference “I tried my hardest in their tonight, me and the team will go back to the drawing board and try and come back better” That’s boring as f***, if you feel a certain way, express it, he didn’t start punching people up.
Exactly his mask dropped
@@jarviswest4888 The reason why so many more people favoured AJ instead of clearly superior boxers like Tyson Fury and Usyk, was boxer AJ was indeed an ambassador for boxing who has a calm charismatic persona that makes snowflakes and casual fans becoming more comfortable with the thought of getting more involved with the boxing world.
The seeing AJ get upset in public has clearly spooked them, hence the overreaction from fans.
No one bats an eye when Tyson Fury tells Wilder to crawl back up his mother's womb, because Tyson Fury has always been a distasteful person and does not hide it.

I am deeply traumatised by AJ'S action. I think there should be a criminal investigation. The belts could have hurt someone. This totally unacceptable I am deeply upset by this outburst.
Not sure it’s unforgivable throwing belts out of the ring apart from the Ring Magazine belt. The boxing governing bodies are as corrupt as a banana republic or shall we say the “kingdom” where the fight took place on Saturday night. Please don’t attach any respect to one of the world boxing governing bodies because they are mostly run by charlatans and the biggest crooks this side of Medellin!
He should have came back.. and if he felt the need to take the mic, congratulate usyk, apologise for throwing the belts, goback to the changing room and let usyk enjoy his moment. If he had more to say use the post match news conference.
Simon Jordan, absolutely right on his assessment of Joshua
He hates AJ!
AJ, throwing the belts out of the ring, is ironically the nearest he'll EVER get closer to them, ever again!
Possibly the belts might get split again. Usyk is 35 and he's made it known he is considering retirement. to a certain degree.
The belts will be unified for all of 10 minutes, too many mandatories for either fighter. AJ will, 100%, be fighting for a belt again

In the sport of boxing the belts are the prize, & that was Usyk,s moment, but selfish Joshua made it all about him.
As for him retiring, that is NOT going to happen, as long as "shyester" Eddie knows that there is money to be made, he will NOT let him, but his behaviour was embarrassing, & shameful.
keep your respect to yourself. thank you
I still respect him so speak for yourself lad bet you was a fan years ago now. You’ve flipped flopped
Who would pay to see thuis chump fight now ? !!
He has also gained millions of fans
Like the previous people who commented said, keep your foking respect for yourself. You will make a judgement call on Joshua like those three stooges (including Graeme Souness who's had more scandals than you can count your fingers, check back when he was coaching Blackburn. If memory serves me well, he was even called a racist. What about that Simon Jordan? Don't get me started) and hold an ever changing, lying Fury in high estime. The same guy who said he would fight for free, and now is asking for 500 millions for a title fight. The same guy who said he would give his purse money to charity, and the charity never saw a dime...... Just shove your foking respect where the sun doesn't shine
The thing I disagree with is: “Give him credit for taking the fight. Most fighters would have taken an easier fight then got back in to things and fought Usyk”
For clarification, this is not how boxing works. Most fighters, when given the opportunity to fight for five belts, JUMP at the opportunity. To turn down a shot at the belts is literally unheard of. Additionally, had he taken another easier fight, it could have been years before he had another shot at them. So taking the fight was expected…not an act of bravery IMO.
Not really.....AJ didnt have to fight Usyk in the first place he could have avoided him and ducked him and chose easier options....he welcomed the challenge came up short....tried to rebuild and come back stronger....ultimatley came up short again.....but alot of boxers in his position would not do the same thing for example Mayweather.
You are right. Bravery is a man who comes across a burning house with children at the window and just cannot walk past.
@@alarmactionukalarmactionuk893 Calm down.
The immediate rematch is one of the worst things to happen in boxing.
This is not true. Wilder and Ortiz turned down shots at multiple belts when they ducked AJ for years. It happens more than you think due to promotor and network disputes.
It's a harsh reality when you find out there is someone who is simply better than you, no matter how much work you put in, how much you think you've improved and changed trainers to become better, how much you want to win, and they still have your number. That's what the rant and histrionics came down to for AJ, an emotional realisation that his best isn't better than this guy's best.
Nice to pocket £40 million. Wish I could have that to fall back on the next time I am humbled!
It’s was weird to watch … like a total meltdown. He must be embarrassed looking back. Best of luck to him though

@@Armed-Forever conspiracy theory
Twice on a Sunday 😂
Anyone can seem nice when they’re winning but this losing spree has shown us the real Anthony Joshua. He simply can’t accept he was beaten by a smaller but much more talented man who let’s not forget spent half of last year running around with a rifle while AJ was at the gym. He was simply outclassed both during and after the fight.
As soon as the bell rang at the end of the twelfth, he’d gained a lot more respect from me. After the schooling he’d gotten in the first fight I was shocked by how much he’d closed the gap and gave a really good account of himself. He was just beaten by a better boxer, and there’s no shame in losing to someone with the quality Usyk possesses.
Everything after that completely took away all the respect I had for him. I’d already grown weary of his virtue signalling nonsense prior, with all the BLM stuff, etc, but was still a fan of his. I judged him on his performance. After his petulant, arrogant, embarrassing outburst I’ve lost all respect. He embarrassed the entire country.
To be so condescending towards a guy who’s handily beaten him twice and calling for “hip hip hoorays” afterwards was just cringeworthy beyond belief. I was actually blushing with second hand embarrassment. I could feel my cheeks flushing.
I saw a man who’d put the best version of himself, as a boxer, in the ring and still coming up short. Still not good enough. Then the crushing realisation that he’s probably never getting to where he was in the sport ever again. Must be difficult to stomach but it’s no excuse to show the level of condescension, disrespect and contempt for his opponent and the sport.
Will somebody please give this man a column!
Stanetti Els, absolutely spot on. Aj did embarrass the entire country. Me personally, I could never show AJ an ounce of respect after that. You have to earn respect. AJ somehow thinks he is entitled to it. My dad taught me something when I was young. He said "you can do good things all your life, but if you do something wrong, that is what people will remember and you will lose any respect people have for you!" Someone should have told AJ that!
Absolutely spot on here from Simon! The racist, BLM virtue signalling from Joshua, and his clear contempt for the good people of this beautiful country (85% of which are white) damaged his reputation irreparably. He showed us his true colours there and continues to do so with every public statement he makes. The mask continues to slip. To unfairly accuse this tolerant country of discrimination whilst repeatedly fighting in Saudi Arabia and saying sweet FA about the horrendous discrimination there is pretty rich. The majority of British boxing fans dislike Joshua, and it's not hard to see why. His speech on Saturday just reinforced this...
hater
Spot on mate
True story 👍
85% white? So what dips*it??
If Joshua had rightly been arrested and charged with hate speech two years ago, maybe that was kick in the back side he desperately needed and been a better person for it.
In a way one can feel sorry for Joshua but let's not forget this is the guy labeled as suppose to have been one of the all time greats not to mention the huge amount of money he's made,since Ruz loss whats ge really done.He got demolished in the first Ruiz fight and looked pathetic in the rematch,nothing to substantiate an all time great by any means so let's hope Usyk exposed not only JOSHUA but the dismally state the heavyweight division has become in the last 20 years.
100% 👍
Bruce, I understand your sentiment, but let’s consider a few things. AJ is an international superstar. He gets pretty much what he wants when he wants it. Never has to worry about money again, and does what he wants. Then you have the real world. I lost my wife of 30 years and 17 year old daughter in the span of months. People are truly suffering around the world, and here is AJ throwing a childish fit, acting like a prima-Donna pretty much demanding everyone feel sorry for him.
Essentially he has lost touch with reality IMO. I have no hatred toward the man, but simply cannot bring my self to feel sorry for him, in any way, shape, or form.
Especially when you consider all the talk he’s done in the past about “staying humble” and “accepting life’s challenges with dignity”. He obviously doesn’t practice what he preaches and that is the true disappointment here.
I hope that makes sense as to why some people find it hard to feel sorry for him. I see no point in kicking anyone when they are down (regardless of how trivial it is) but feeling sympathy for them is a bit much from my perspective. To each is own, however. I’m just giving another side of the equation. Thx
Also, you mentioned AJ’s abilities. I agree completely with you he is a good heavyweight…at best. Certainly not this generational hall of fame fighter Hearns made him out to be.
Go back to the Ruiz loss. Watch AJ in the ring grab the mic right out of Ruiz’s hands, and walk around the the ring making it all about him. Up until that point I was ambivalent toward AJ. However at that moment I realized he is not what he claims to be.
Wake up if you claim the title you don't say the fat boy beat Me . The fighter beat the commercial robot
Finally an honest assessment. Thank you
Odd how AJ hasnt apologised for disrespecting the belts….
i don't think he's apologised to to usyk either has he?
Imagine giving a boxer props for taking a hard fight. Wow, can't believe I heard that.
How can you want a fighter to swerve tough fights and then be taken seriously when you mention his resume?
They should ONLY take the toughest fights.
@Boxing Truth hater
@@beautyty7857 Aj haters are the majority now after he revealed himself to be a big spoiled child. Cry about it.
Because tough fights are a rarity in boxing. Fights are fixed to keep the golden goose making money
@Boxing Truth Avoided Ortiz and offered him $7m to replace Jarell Miller avoided Wilder yet offered him $120m for 2 fights? So many casuals in boxing🤣🤣🤣
@Boxing Truth Avoided Chisora??? Joshua has already beaten numerous guys who have beaten or are better than Chisora, such as Klitshko, Whyte, Povetkin, and Parker. Whyte and Parker both beat Chisora twice in the last few years (maybe look up their records?). Also, Ortiz is overrated by Wilder fans. He only got to the amateur World Championship quarter finals in 2004, whilst Povetkin whom Joshua TKO'd, won Olympic and World Championship gold in 2002 and 2003. Povetkin also has a better resume than Ortiz as a pro.
Wilder and Fury tied each other up for the last few years with their 3 fight trilogy, and purposely locked Joshua out of fighting them. Wilder himself said that he chose to fight Fury for less money, rather than take a higher offer to fight Joshua. Before that Wilder was fighting people outside of the top 20 for his title defences, like Washington, Molina, Spizka, an unranked fat retired Stiverne, etc, and avoiding anyone good like Klitchko. And Fury was serving an 18 month drugs ban and was out of the sport. Wilder's team mainly chose to fight Fury because they thought the man was broken by his 18 month lay off. Fury had drug problems, severe depression, and ballooned up to over 400lbs. However, to Wilder's surprise, a below 100% Fury completely outboxed him. Then after Fury had a bit more time to get back to his best, Wilder found that he had no chance, and he was battered around the ring for the next 2 fights.
You should change your name to Boxing Biased, because I'm not even a Joshua fan, but I have to be fair to him and say that his resume is decent, and he has fought a lot more top 10 fighters than Wilder, whose resume was truly awful before the Fury trilogy. Wilder gets some props for those 3 fights, because Fury is No1, but like I said, I think that he first picked Fury because the guy was not 100% from his lay off and health issues. Then he had to keep rematching him because Fury was beating him, and he wanted to reclaim his title.
His expectations were so cut off. His always been pretending and that is exactly what Dillian Wythe has been trying to tell the whole world that AJ is not real and is fake. I'm so upset and disappointed in him. No excuses. He should just call it a day. He tried to give reasons for his wayward behavior but messed it up more. I believe it was a complete mental breakdown.
Simon summed up the reality. AJ needs to get that point
AJ is what Rashford thinks he is for Man United
No cause aj has actually done it he's been with the best won the titles people need to stop the disrespect
@@Gdgoat222nah racists don't deserve respect sorry.
@@Gdgoat222 he beat no one. Found out by anyone better than average in their prime
@@Gdgoat222 won is title of bums who only were champions coz fury was stripped
Why you bringing in united for ? 😭
Simon Spot on!
Simon Jordan 👏, cutting through all the crap brilliantly, refreshing to hear!
Simon Jordan spot on. 100% on point!
After another one sided mismatch, the night will be remembered for Washua screaming that he had an ASBO when he was 17, then crying mental health and all his cheerleaders who are scared to lose the pay cheque cheering him wtf.
Showed his true colors during and after the fight
AJ is a very fortunate guy, he’s made a ton of money in this average era, 70’s/80’s and he wouldn’t stand a chance. AJ needs to learn to hit the opponent and not thin air👍.. good luck to him but unfortunately for him, he is very limited..
Absolutely. Then he throws jabs at the heavyweight greats in the past…neglecting to mention they fought 15+ rounds.
Joshua doesn't even know what the term "Civil war" means 😂😂😂
Ajs ego couldn't handle been beat by a cruiser weight that melt down will go down in history as cringe
Kinda like the Lewis v McCall!
@@NOBODY-cn6fj Lewis and mcall are totally different levels to aj his best wins was klich who was 41 m8 aj only did ok with matchroom in house fights Parker always been a 12 rounder taken I thought was stopped to early ruiz beat him convincingly rematch was pants and usyk only 4 fights at hw schooled him twice
He said something very uncomplintary about Marciano....Joshua could not have lived with that man marciano would have brutalised him...he's an over rated no body and he will never beat fury or anyone else who I's at the top flight and his reaction shows him up for what he is....he should have taken the legendary Joe Lewis advice...when you lose say little when u win say less that man had true character Joshua is simply a character pathetic.....
You're absolutely correct sir, Joshua couldn't carry Marciano's Jock Strap!!!
He would have shit his little black panties if he'd been facing "the Brockton Blockbuster!" over the old championship distance of 15rnds wearing 8oz horse hair gloves!!!🤔🤨🧐👍
When you have fan boys like Simon Jordan defending Joshua when for when he goes out threatening break students jaw, his ego is going to reach a level when he thinks it's always about him
Jordan still defending him😂🤣😅
He took the fight because he had nowhere else to go.
And, no, he couldn't have gone back in at a later stage, as Usyk would not be contractual obliged to give him a fight, and would go on to fight Tyson Fury.
Also he took the fight as Usyk was at his weakest, fighting a war back in his home country.
You just contradicted yourself, if he had to take the fight because usyk was obligated to take it then and didn't want to miss his chance then aj didn't take the fight when usyk was at his weakest it just happened that way, the fight was going to take place months ago but was put back so usyk could fight for his country so stopping chatting shite.
@@staytrue5307
Nope, he had the option not to take the rematch.
The loser has option to trigger the clause.
And he couldn't beat Usyk at his weakest.
And Usyk was fighting for his country, but was told that he could go back and fight to represent his nation and bring his people something to rally around.
I'm reading alot of things around Usyk not actually fighting in the war and being allowed to train etc, but his family still must be fighting and potentially dieing in this war. Mentality this guy has is incredibly strong, AJ shouldn't had tried to take the limelight from him, that ultimately was such poor taste..
@@2HatHudders
He was deployed around Kiev, so not on the front lines, but still not in training camp and also not fully focused on this fight
He was also not required to be there as he has 3 children
How Joshua tried to use the Ukraine flag as a prop for PR, really shows you want he is about.
@@bl4ckkn1g8t5 thanks for the info!
Yeah proper virtue signalling, hold the flag but take those photos after the speeches, and give Usyk is moment.. he thoroughly deserves after 24 rounds.
AJ is an eight round fighter always take a a break midway and always fades past ten FACT
And it lost him his belts
@@sr2340 and I think his mind
@@jasonharryphotog his fault lol. 12 rounds is the sport. Why muscle men don’t make great boxers.
@@sr2340 naturally AJ needs to loose a bit of size , and loosen up , seems to be scared of burnout ie not sure how much he can actually push himself ,
"Fury will clean Usyk's clock", says Jordon. It is amazing how many people in the sports media know so little about boxing.
Love how Graham Souness managed to compare AJ to Pogba
Everything the Jordan says is 100% true. RESPECT!!!!!!
I wish Joshua showed the post fight aggression from round 1
Fighting is more than feminine emotions.
He never created “his hype” it’s Mr Hearn that’s responsible for that. Unfortunately much of the public also believe the hype. AJ has nothing to be ashamed of , he fought his heart out and has always tried his best, there’s nothing else a man can do.
I can remember souness planting that flag down,was slightly worried for his safety at the time lol
I'd have been more worried for any Fenerbahce fan that challenged him. 😂😂
I wrote a comment the other day saying I am beginning to like him. Well now I love him.. he has the Bollox to say what others won't... Proper journalism in an industry of yes men and social justice warrior. God bless Simon Jordan greetings from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪
Usyk woulda beaten Klitschko in his prime
As a English man I’m deeply saddened by aj behaviour & I am more than happy with usyk behaviour
Why, AJ isn’t English, British or even European. He’s said this himself plenty of times
Beat usyk and Joshua on the same night u say Simon?
The line caught my attention too😂😂😂
AJ believed Hearns hype, its back to reality, lost 3 times and hasn’t even yet fought Wilder or Fury… AJ is over rated!!
TWO fights outside the UK and lost both, beat Klitschko who was old and past his best. JOSHUA is a modern day media/Social media hyped boxer who fell into the trap of believing it…
Well said the whole night too was a zio fest
He won the 2nd Ruiz fight in Saudi. A true boxing fan would know that. 🤡😂
@@Redman680 ok won one fight outside UK defeating a overweight Mexican hooked on TACOS😂
That really puts AJ on a par with the greats…😅😂🤣
It's embarrassing the excuses made by his media mates. We see through your BS guys. That entitled behaviour is unacceptable and the criticism is acceptable
Imagine wining about your hardluck story while being a multi millionaire and the other bloke just returned from fighting in a war.
Usyk is ten times the man Joshua thinks he is.
‘Walk down to the ATM and look at you’re £40million.. that’s respect’
No, you have to earn respect, it’s not given. And after that display from AJ.. think everybody had just lost respect for him. That was pathetic and unclassy for a guy with his status.
The bout has nothing to do with a reaction no one knew would happen, not even AJ.
YES,it was incorrect, but he has earnt respect and still has credit.
@@ChrisMetaFootballTV Forget the fights.. I’m literally just talking about how he’s handled that whole situation after his 2nd loss. That was like watching a baby in a man’s body..
@@jjw4646 if you can't assess the issue as whole, then OK
Disgusting things in the ring:
1) Joshua taking the limelight
2) sucker punching the winner
3) “don’t brag about my side piece!!”
4) ear bite
5) mcall loses his head
8:12 Happy New Year Simon !
Wow ,,no holding back here, good to see someone say exactly what he thinks,
I thought Joshua for a little while after the fight, was the real Joshua not the contrived PR creation, he acted like the street thug & bully he was and is!, then he made a real fool of himself with the speech and disrespected Usyk's moment. As to the fight, he was very ineffective for the first 6 rounds, gave Usyk a lot of trouble in the 9th and gassed himself out in the 10th.....my observation is if you're not a 12 round fighter, you shouldn't be taking 12 round fights!
@Jack Dominiak , 100% spot on mate, AJ is a disgrace to British boxing
hater
@@davesmith4804 hater
I’ll keep this simple, Jordan does talk a lot of sense and none more so than here.. can be said better and it needs to be said by all because it’s the simple truth
First time AJ has lost without knowing he’s entitled to a rematch. Couldn’t handle losing like a man. Boring childish behaviour.
AJ gave himself his ultimate shame that night
I couldn't agree more with Simon Jordan. He put everything about AJ succinctly into context. AJ is a PR dictated, E Hearn guided fighter off the Matchroom conveyor belt. Most of what he says is rehearsed and premeditated.
Hopefully get to see wilder flat line AJ now a Ruiz rematch plenty out there but I think he has finally been found out .
After his first defeat to Usyk, I stated many times that AJ taking a rematch immediately after it was one of the biggest management and marketing mistakes of all time. AJ needed to fight Wilder, Fury and then come back to Usyk as the "mandatory" after having honed his skills more. Getting spanked back-to-back like this has hurt him in many ways (besides his cringe meltdown).
AJ's management failed him; his trainer's failed him and AJ failed his fans who wanted to see the Fury/Joshua fight more.
Totally agree with all above 👏👏
He needs to get back in the ring ASAP & arrange any of these for December
wilder or even otto wallin Joe Joyce Michael hunter.. Daniel Dubois
But I'm guessing management & Eddie hearne want easy pickings now 🤔
😂😂 fight Wilder and Fury and get spanked again!!!
He needs to come down a level and fight Whyte, Joyce, someone like that. Then come back again
@@mannazee the damage is done- he needs to stay in the elite fights or he might as well retire. Going down in quality will only set him up for bigger devastation.
AJ would be seriously hurt by a wilder punch.. have some mercy.
He couldn't stand with Fury or Wilder
Again the disrespect towards Joshua is still continuing, people saying he's "no good" or he was "overhyped" what a load of nonsense.. You're all acting like he's fought bums his entire career and then suddenly fought an elite fighter and lost.. That's not the case whatsoever. He has beaten PLENTY of Top 15 ranked boxers, so quite clearly he IS a very good boxer, is he the elite of the elite? No of course not but he's probably the 3rd best Heavyweight of his era and there's no shame in that.
Deontay Wilder is the perfect example of someone who had fought bums his entire career and then got found out at the elite level. Wilder hasn't beaten the likes of Klitschko, Povetkin, Whyte, Ruiz, Parker etc.. Give Joshua the credit he deserves.
Well said I agree
Klitchko,, over 40... povetkin,, over 40.. whyte, , most overatted hw contender since Audley... ruiz,, 6 inches shorter and fat as a pig... Parker,, ref wouldn't let em get near each other....
Thanks you!! Finally someone with a bit of sense.
Yh, but let's be honest...Wilder would smoke AJ
His only proper performance was against an ageing Klitschko. If these opponents were top ranked or not, isn’t relevant. They weren’t elite whatsoever. He’s come up against his first “elite” opponent and lost. Simple.
At first I was pissed when i saw that post fight speech from AJ. Now days, i still don't like it but I think he genuinely had a breakdown. Training and putting all that work in and still not coming out with a win. He made other comments where he alluded to the fact that Usyk isn't strong but has skill. I don't think he's saying that he's weak but more that he doesn't rely on strength but rather technique, footwork, angles, etc. I think Joshua was frustrated that no matter how hard he works he cant match the skill level of Usyk no shorten that gap with strength. In the end i still don't like his behavior after the fight but I've come to understand it better
