In my humble opinion Oleksandr Usyk has to be , now at his peak the best physical, mental and psychological boxer-fighter in the HW division. That performance was immense and the best southpaw I have had the privilege to watch in over 30 years. This guy has everything- a real pugilist. He silenced and fed 70 000 with his undisputed skills. A real bad man! Absolutely fabulous.
he hasn't got much power, not saying he isn't great or the best ATM but nobody has it all and he lacks a bit of power to be as entertaining as the true legends. eg Lewis, Ali , Tyson etc.
@@ljs185 I wasn't arguing with him , just throwing my 2 cents in. I boxed heavyweight myself and southpaw heavyweights were are a nightmare to fight in the amateurs coz you never got time to prepare. Joshua does have time to prepare though. He needs some good southpaw sparring, can't think of anybody off hand though ha ha. When you fight these big hard hitting southpaws i found targeting the body was my best way of getting close. Usyk has such good movement that you need to cut the ring off then basically toe to toe him. He moves the head well but won't get the body out the way so easily. A sneaky combination that works v southpaws is a jab ,double right hand, and finish on the left hook. Its a bit awkward but so are those bastards. AJ never doubled up the right hand once.
Usyk is already a legend, he became Undisputed Cruiserweight Champion faster than anyone before in only 15 fights(winning the first-ever Muhammad Ali trophy in the process), then he jumps to the HW division and in only 3 fights he becomes unified HW champion of the world, but even more impressive he took the Road Warrior approach, he won all his titles at both Cruiser and heavyweight at his opponent's home, and he's undefeated. Add to that the Gold medal at the Olympic games, and the World Championship he won at the amateurs.
You have to be happy for Uysk. He's the coolest customer ever. Ironic that Usyk beat AJ in his 19th fight, the same fight that AJ beat Klitshko. Usyk just buried the bridgerweight division.
The number of people calling me "casual" on IFL videos for even suggesting that Usyk could beat Joshua, it's laughable how many people know next to nothing about boxing.

We’ve probably lost the biggest fight in British boxing history now. Massive respect for AJ for at least taking the risks in his career.

Legendary performance from Usyk. First I want to big up AJ for taking on all comers and always fighting the best. As far as Uysk what a performance. From the first bell he had his left hand landing and that made Joshua hesitant. Joshua wasn't leading with any punches early, he was just looking for the big right hand. Later on he tried to let his hands go and at times he had succes but most of the time, Uysk was countering everything beautifully. The way Uysk landed his own jab over Joshuas and the sneaky right hooks over Joshua's lead hand was beautiful. Constant movement, countering, never allowing AJ to set his feet, throwing punches to draw AJ and then counter him. Congratulations to Usyk who once again goes into the lions den and beats the home fighter.
Usyk is very interesting from a psychological point of view. He has never shown any hesitation, any weakness, any doubt about himself. Like a machine. Will go down in history as one of the top 5 fighters of all time. If not as the greatest.
He is probbably the most religious figure (in a right way) in boxing ever. He does not take himself seriously, always dresses like a clown, never talks highly about himself, always speaks highly abot his opponents,he looks weird and crazy but also funny with a great sence of humor even tho he cant speak English. All the doubts in a man come from high egoism, and to me, judging from his post fight actions, it seems Usyk is for real a man fighting for god’s favor (glory) rather than for something personal.
Honestly AJ needs to ditch McCracken asap. Hearn losing Canelo to PBC and AJ losing his belts, someone needs to check on the guy 🤣 congrats to Usyk. A proper road warrior and a modern day legend 🇺🇦
@@calumgallagher2095 Hearn was in the ring after the BJS fight acting like he's Canelo's promoter. Now he has AJ's career hanging by a thread, DAZN pulling out of America because nobody wants to work with him and Sky investing in boxing again in the UK. He's right, someone needs to check on him.
I was quite impressed that AJ lasted to the end. Usyk’s energy and constant movement is a nightmare, especially if you’re carrying the weight of AJ. I can’t see AJ beating Usyk in the rematch unless he manages to catch him early. Also, I saw Carl Frampton’s post fight video - he was savage. Ripped Rob McKraken for his tactics.
McCracken's instructions were terrible, not saying he would have won but he needed to pressure him and put his weight on him, If AJ blows his load by 7 rounds then so be it, but he's not going to outbox Usyk over 12 rounds.
I agree he got to pin him in the corners and ropes and unload to have chance. He cant take center ring all fight and try to box USYK it was bizzare tactics tonight.
i couldn't have said it better myself....in the rematch he must train for 7 not 15 rounds...do a demolition job on this guy from the first bell usyk should end up on the floor or he should... and if i hear the rematch takes place again in London not Kiev i will know at once Joshua is not ready for this guy not physically not psychologically
And people were commenting me today that Usyk can do this only to slow Heavyweights in the WSB but not to Joshua. This wasn't even the best version of Usyk is what he said in the post fight Interview.
Truth is, it was a dismantling. I was struggling to give AJ rounds. I ended up giving him three. But they weren't clear cut. The best thing Usyk did was come out and win the first 3 or 4. That made the judges job impossible to rob him imo
@@sonofabraham4094 I still can't believe the stupidity of it. You shouldn't plan to out box Usyk anymore than you should plan to go toe to toe with Tyson at 22 years old. Just ridiculous.
Great boxing skills from Usyk, but poor tactics by AJ. It looked as if the plan was to out box Usyk. That was never going to happen. Even Chisorsa looked more dangerous. The question is were these tactics from the team? Or has AJ lost his killer instinct? The AJ that fought WK could've won against Usyk (imo), but that AJ hasn't been on show since the Ruiz defeat. Maybe never again!
AJ needs to drop Rob MacCracken and get a new trainer, he definitely needs a better game plan for the rematch. He should have implemented the same long straight right hand to the body that he used against Povetkin. Although I see Usyk winning again, I always knew he would achieve at heavyweight after watching his performances in the Muhammad Ali trophy tournament. I always disagreed with the whole “he’s too small and doesn’t have the power” comments.
I think the key more than anything is the affect of the Ruiz knock out! When usik clipped him in the third, he was panicked more than hurt. That knockout has affected his training and tactics and has changed his whole demeanour in general. I think a decent head doctor could be a good first step
AJ is a solid all-rounder and beats other all-rounders (even Klitschko -- just). But when he comes up against extreme cases in terms of hand speed (Ruiz), boxing ability (Usyk, Fury), and power (Wilder), it causes -- or is likely to cause -- problems.
Hatman has been saying McCracken has got to go for years and he’s 3000% correct I was listening to rob McCrackens instructions in the corner and was thinking what the hell is going on
Congratulations to Usyk, Great performance, i think EVERYONE in the division will have a real hard night against Usyk, don't know if ANYONE can beat Usyk??? But all credit to AJ for taking this fight. 😉👍
Aj needs to get the dog back and dog him. Was never gonna beat a superior boxer in a boxing match. Chisora had more success as he imposed more rough house tactics on a smaller man. With AJs attributes he should be doing the same. Get out there and try blow him out and try not to look pretty. Maybe go upto 250 and try blow him out. Boxing Usyk is oviousley not how you win. Bring back the AJ that went against Brezeale, Whyte, Molena.
In the Heavyweight division you either have to have a ramrod jab eg: Holmes, Lewis, Klitschko or you have tremendous movement and timing like Tyson or Jones Jr in order to sustain your reign as champion. AJ doesn't have neither. He relies on size and power too much. I always thought that Usyk would win. AJ is now in the same position as Wilder where he has to try and beat a technician in a rematch when he has already taught you a lesson. AJ is going to need a Michael Jackson style transformation to have a chance in the rematch and that doesn't happen in 6 months.
I don't think I've ever been so far away from general consensus with my scoring as I am here. (And I had AJ coming from behind against Povetkin) I was that guy who scored Uysk by 2-3 rounds. I had AJ ahead at the end of 9 and had him winning 7,8 and 9 in a row. I didn't see this destruction, at least not until the 12thl. I saw a very competitive matchup where Uysk broke the trend and came out super fast. That backhand he was landing early was beautiful but it stopped landing regularly after 4, AJ made the adjustment and it didn't start landing until after AJ's eye started swelling up in the 9th. He had Uysk swinging and missing wildly at times, Uysk was marked up under both eyes and I felt AJ had great success to the body. Uysk looked uncomfortable to me during the mid rounds. He was moaning about low blows, shaking his head in frustration and hIs body language didn't speak of a one sided route at all. Having said all that, Usyk started fast and finished very strong. His footwork was beautiful, his double left hook late was ultra impressive and the way he finished 10,11 and especially 12, really coloured the fight for me. He boxed out of his skin and at times, I was really wow'd. I'm not sure why AJ abandoned the body work, Uysk had no answer for it and wasn't countering off of it either. I thought it was really entertaining and I'd happily watch the rematch, even if it's likely to play out in a similar fashion. Huge props to both men I know how this comment might be taken and maybe I'll get some shiz for it but that's okay! I've been watching and reading about boxing long enough to feel comfortable in having a different opinion from even the overwhelming majority in this case. It could just be I've got this wildly wrong and maybe rewatching the fight might alter my opinion.
Good points. I didn't see a "one-sided beatdown" at all but Usyk finished very strong and AJ was exhausted in the last 3 rounds, fighting with one eye shut. Usyk managed his energy amazingly. It looked like he was tiring by the 8th round but he got a second wind and came on strong down the stretch. I was actually very impressed with AJ's upper body movement for a lot of that fight. The truth is up until end of round 9, that fight was close, a toss up. It's from round 9 AJ says he could only see out one eye. It was only that final round which was truly one-sided. The first 9 rounds, as a whole, were a lot closer than that. Round 10, 11, Usyk started pulling away. Round 12 was the only one-sided round in the fight. So I'm a bit surprised by Hatman describing it as a "one-sided beatdown" as that's not a true representation of the fight as a whole, it only describes round 12.
I agree with almost everything you say, Joshua was having some success but never capitalised on it, at times it looked like Usyk wasn't happy with the big shots that aj caught him with but he came back stronger each round, the rematch could be interesting.
AJ looked like an amateur against Usyk. They are athletes on totally different levels. If he takes the immediate rematch, he loses again. Rob has to go and AJ has to fix his mind. Once you catch AJ , his flight response is so exaggerated, it’s obvious he has a Ruiz PTSD. AJ should just go and calm down and re-assess his team.
@@simplyballing1592 Usyk beat the guy who held 4 belts and who had the better resume than Fury. If cunningham could rock fury, no need to talk about what Usyk is capable of doing against Fury.
Holy smokes! Congrats to Usyk! I think Joshua should stay away from the rematch and get some fights in, learn his craft just a bit more then challenge again in 2023 or late 2022.
Am still stunned and devastated that Usyk schooled and whooped Aj so bad I felt sorry for him... I still don’t believe Wht I watched damn how did he do that? I thought it was supposed to be an easy night for Aj but boy I was soso wrong as Aj couldn’t even see where usyk’s shots were coming from. 😞👎👎
Joshua sticking his tongue out at the end like he’d been making Usyk miss and hadn’t just been getting smashed with both hands hanging on desperately against the ropes was hilarious 😂
Big for nothing ....Rob Macraken needs sacking.... You beat a slick southpaw with 3s and 4s not singles......no energy no second phase attacks..... Absolute joke....
such anger is justified..i am just as upset about what i saw there really disappointing...who do you recommend as a new coach if such was to happen......me i recommend the Sims brothers or manny robbles or teddy atlas
Yea AJ looked confused as hell out there. You could tell bc he wouldn't commit to any of the punches he was throwing, it's like he was second-guessing his punches mid-punch while he was throwing them. But worst of all it's clear he doesn't have that dawg in him. Congrats to Usyk, really happy for him.
McCracken is bad. I can’t believe he didn’t mention usyk stepping on the outside of AJ lead leg. If he stopped that usyk wouldn’t have been about to reach down the centre to negate AJ’s reach. Foot work lost this fight .
Yep I agree I noticed it time and time again usyk stepping around and landing that left hand or jab. It's one of the main reasons AJ didn't throw the right power hand as much as normal because usyk wouldnt let him set his feet long enough to land on him. Usyks angles and movements were phenomenal
I think Usyk beats Fury because he struggles with smaller more mobile fighters. He beats Wilder because he will exploit his technical limitations. Styles make fights. Funnily enough I think Dillian Whyte is the toughest fight for Usyk. He’s awkward, he’s willing to gamble, take punches to land one and he will work the body every chance he gets. I’m not saying he beats Usyk but I think he’s a nightmare style wise for Usyk.
What? Of course Joshua is elite, look what he's achieved already in his career, unifying 3 world titles in under 20 fights beating a hall of Famer in Wladimir Klitschko along the way! Was Klitschko not an elite fighter in your opinion then? I really don't understand why people are so critical of Anthony Joshua.
@@thetruesquad5059 Thankyou sir!....Of course Joshua is an elite heavyweight! Any professional boxer ranked in the top 20 in the world is by definition an elite boxer!! It baffles me why Id even need to say this to somebody!
@@archangeldesmond5143 bruh look at Wilders resume. I like the brother but he’s got more tomato cans then Mike Tyson and that’s saying ALOT. Wilder was scared to death of Wladimir Klitschko when he was undeafeated wbc champion.Literally the best fighter that Wilder has ever beaten was that old ass Cuban dude
I think Usyk's fight with Chisora was a calculated move, Chisora was a stylistic nightmare for Usyk so Usyk put himself in the deep end in a sense and still came out on top. Perfect sharpening of mettle for the top heavyweights.
When I saw Usyk posting that love letter to his wife I realised : for him this is the moment. The fight of his career. He looked great at the weigh in and he is in his prime. And just like Floyd or Lomachenko he is a great technician but people forget that they are also physically very strong fighters. I knew it was gonna be tough. Usyk is a level above AJ and if there is a rematch AJ will lose again. No one can give you back that long learning years that you get starting in your early teens.
I had wondered already if usyk had purposely not shown his best work against chisora. If he had destroyed chisora maybe he would have never got the aj fight. Usyk was a different animal last night.
‘Hatman strikes again!!’ Great analysis as always sir! 🎯👏🏼 Top quality boxing! Congrats Usyk. I think you may be right about McCracken 🤔 AJ will have to do that soon, before he’s too old
yup majority boxing fans are not used to it. People are already writting a.j off after a loss just like the ruiz fight. People take losses way to deep in this sport you can come back and win.
I agree with the rob mccracken sentiment… british fighting style are your typical up straight up and down… tyson fury knew this… he knew he is not going to progress with his previous coach… because that coach always teach him the same things… tyson was a boxer and when he joined the kronk gym it turned him into a boxer-puncher and made him even deadlier… AJ needs a new coach..
It was a absolutely tremendous bout I'm so happy for him and I feared the worst for him that the Judges wouldn't give it to him especially after the Campbell Hatton fight and when sections of the audience was booing the Ukrainian national anthem but he was able to rise to the occasion and Kept his faith , as for AJ he should have got rid of McCracken years ago and t oo much of the sky team blowing smoke for too long and this is making his Long term deal with Eddie Hearn looking sour
I’ve been saying it since Klitschko threw him out of the ring in sparring It’s just these pundits and fanboys Who just deflect and make excuses Nobody beats Usyk Fury wouldn’t have a chance
Game plan was all wrong. He had to impose himself on the smaller man and let the hands go. You can't box with the best master boxer in the world P4P. The body was the key, Usyk was visibly hurt every time to the body. I think he should leave RM, if only Emanuel Steward was still around
yep, I thought the only success AJ had was to the body, but even though they were big shots Usyk ate them and went straight back to work. Different class. Imagine what he'd have done if he was the same size as AJ!
I’m an AJ fan but he got absolutely pieced up. Usyk Exposed AJ limitations, you can tell AJ really tried his best to play the chess match. AJ would have been better off trying to rough him up. Personally AJ needs to get better at adapting on the fly
for sure, he needs a rough em up game, he needs that in his playbook. this stand up straight and 1 2 thing dont cut it in every situation. usyk made him look like a punch bag in some of those rounds.
@Calmac1888 That could very well be the case . but there’s a way to apply that pressure and not gas’s out. Fury did it against Otto Wallin you gotta make it a rough and dirty fight.
@Calmac1888 could be, but hes got a chance that way. this way hes just going 12 rounds to a guaranteed loss. sometimes you got to look at a punchers chance and realise its your only chance when the chips are down and ur losing 3 belts.
@@jeromerodgers-blake332 imo Usyk wins every time unless AJ catches him with that demon uppercut. AJ has a weak chin and even he knows he can't stand and trade with a boxer who is faster and more accurate because when he gets clipped he's in danger. Whyte hurt him, Vlad dropped him, Andy Ruiz sent his soul back to the UK, Usyk had him hurt in early rounds when they traded and almost KOd him in round 12. His chin is his biggest issue, if he can strengthen his chin he can go back to being ruthless without worrying.
AJ definitely needs to get a new corner, who advises someone to slim down and then to just stand behind your jab for 12 Rounds. He might as well have just stayed big if he was going to do that, least he would of done more damage that way. You slim down to move not stand there like some lemon and let a guy throw heat straight down the middle. Did his team even take Usyk as a serious threat cause to me it seemed like they massively underestimated him.
AJ got found out, there's levels to boxing even at heavyweight. One thing I think you underestimated a while back though is AJs drawing power, the man is still selling out stadiums.
lol we will all endure the ridicules for the next 6 months or so....congratulations to you and big congratulations the top man himself usyk he was masterful and sensational in there ...i am still on that AJ bus i am not getting off
AJ has lost the dog in him, if he exercises the rematch clause he needs to go back to the beginning and find that rough dog in him again. Let's see what happens
I can't remember exactly what round, but it was early on, Aj got a bit rocked by Usyk, and he looked really deflated in the corner. He really looked like he was thinking to himself, oh no, here we go again.
In my humble opinion Oleksandr Usyk has to be , now at his peak the best physical, mental and psychological boxer-fighter in the HW division. That performance was immense and the best southpaw I have had the privilege to watch in over 30 years. This guy has everything- a real pugilist. He silenced and fed 70 000 with his undisputed skills.

Great analogy, I agree ☝️
Usyk is a generational talent
Legendary performance from Usyk. First I want to big up AJ for taking on all comers and always fighting the best. As far as Uysk what a performance. From the first bell he had his left hand landing and that made Joshua hesitant. Joshua wasn't leading with any punches early, he was just looking for the big right hand. Later on he tried to let his hands go and at times he had succes but most of the time, Uysk was countering everything beautifully. The way Uysk landed his own jab over Joshuas and the sneaky right hooks over Joshua's lead hand was beautiful. Constant movement, countering, never allowing AJ to set his feet, throwing punches to draw AJ and then counter him. Congratulations to Usyk who once again goes into the lions den and beats the home fighter.
AJ never fought the best pal` fortunately for him
@@hogarthay Hmm okay mate... I understand boxing pretty well, especially heavyweights and AJ has a better resume than anyone at heavyweight.
The advice from AJ’s corner towards the end of the fight was laughable.
What was said?
@@Eyeballpaul84 telling him to get behind his jab in the 9th or 10th lol shocking
“Get behind your jab Josh! Get behind the jab and the right hand will follow! Jab jab right hand! On your toes Josh!”
Fucking pathetic
@@samwarrilow2881 shocking advice when your man is blatantly losing the fight 😂
AJ’s corner didn’t have a clue or a plan B.
Usyk is very interesting from a psychological point of view. He has never shown any hesitation, any weakness, any doubt about himself. Like a machine. Will go down in history as one of the top 5 fighters of all time. If not as the greatest.
He is probbably the most religious figure (in a right way) in boxing ever. He does not take himself seriously, always dresses like a clown, never talks highly about himself, always speaks highly abot his opponents,he looks weird and crazy but also funny with a great sence of humor even tho he cant speak English. All the doubts in a man come from high egoism, and to me, judging from his post fight actions, it seems Usyk is for real a man fighting for god’s favor (glory) rather than for something personal.
Maybe top 5 or the greatest? Goddamn you are denented lmao
@@naeemislam1105 NOT AT ALL.
@@karakondzula1388funny how?
That was some Roberto Duran like performance there. Excellent work by Usyk. Amazing🇺🇦🥊
Hatman one of the best boxing analysts around
Imagine Usyk had taken the last round off, instead of going for the KO. Foster would've then given the fight a draw. Ffs man. Great video btw
What a brilliant fight , the judging was terrible just like the Campbell Hatton fight
Hatman overcompensating when AJ loses. Why does this feel like we’re getting told off??! Just do a post fight review
He's telling off McCrackhead and rightly so.
Honestly AJ needs to ditch McCracken asap. Hearn losing Canelo to PBC and AJ losing his belts, someone needs to check on the guy 🤣 congrats to Usyk. A proper road warrior and a modern day legend 🇺🇦
Canelo ain't with Pbc or hearn he is a free agent to the highest bidder
absolutely
@@calumgallagher2095 Hearn was in the ring after the BJS fight acting like he's Canelo's promoter. Now he has AJ's career hanging by a thread, DAZN pulling out of America because nobody wants to work with him and Sky investing in boxing again in the UK.
He's right, someone needs to check on him.
It's time to leave Rob McCraken
did you hear the coach McCracken shouting "Brilliant AJ" 15x per round when AJ was loosing? Who is this guy?
McCracken is a yes man, AJ needs someone to tell him the truth, he still looks robotic to me
Aj had no confidence and knew he was losing. McCraken tried to give him some confidence.
he defo needs to get rid of McCrackin , he's taught him all he can and nobody can teach you it all. It's time for a new drawing board.
This is why I like hatmans breakdown bc he doesn't let his personal biases get in the way of his boxing opinions. He's just honest
I was quite impressed that AJ lasted to the end. Usyk’s energy and constant movement is a nightmare, especially if you’re carrying the weight of AJ. I can’t see AJ beating Usyk in the rematch unless he manages to catch him early.
Also, I saw Carl Frampton’s post fight video - he was savage. Ripped Rob McKraken for his tactics.
absolutely agree with you ..
McCracken's instructions were terrible, not saying he would have won but he needed to pressure him and put his weight on him,
If AJ blows his load by 7 rounds then so be it, but he's not going to outbox Usyk over 12 rounds.
I agree he got to pin him in the corners and ropes and unload to have chance. He cant take center ring all fight and try to box USYK it was bizzare tactics tonight.
i couldn't have said it better myself....in the rematch he must train for 7 not 15 rounds...do a demolition job on this guy from the first bell usyk should end up on the floor or he should... and if i hear the rematch takes place again in London not Kiev i will know at once Joshua is not ready for this guy not physically not psychologically
All the AJ fanboys are crying now🤣😂. Well done Usyk👏👏👏👏Guess what, Usyk wins the rematch as well.
He sure does
And people were commenting me today that Usyk can do this only to slow Heavyweights in the WSB but not to Joshua. This wasn't even the best version of Usyk is what he said in the post fight Interview.
AJ has got some form of PTSD going on since Ruiz 1. Completely lost his spite and nasty streak
No, no one said that after Ruiz vs AJ 2. Or after Pulev vs AJ. I think the fall out from him versus Fury threw him off.
Truth is, it was a dismantling. I was struggling to give AJ rounds. I ended up giving him three. But they weren't clear cut.
The best thing Usyk did was come out and win the first 3 or 4. That made the judges job impossible to rob him imo
People that think Usyk is too small forget that he’s the same size as Ali and 4” taller and 10lbs heavier than Tyson.
He's small for Today's heavies! But as I always say.. if you're good enough- you're Big enough!
Same size as Ali, same birthday as Ali.
AJ didn't even try to impose himself.
It seems like they honestly thought they could play nice and outbox Usyk.
Idiots.
My thoughts exactly
@@sonofabraham4094 I still can't believe the stupidity of it.
You shouldn't plan to out box Usyk anymore than you should plan to go toe to toe with Tyson at 22 years old.
Just ridiculous.
Great boxing skills from Usyk, but poor tactics by AJ. It looked as if the plan was to out box Usyk. That was never going to happen. Even Chisorsa looked more dangerous.
The question is were these tactics from the team? Or has AJ lost his killer instinct?
The AJ that fought WK could've won against Usyk (imo), but that AJ hasn't been on show since the Ruiz defeat. Maybe never again!
AJ didnt use his advantages at all, if he goes into the rematch and becomes physical and devastating he will win or at least do better.
I was expecting a robbery glad Usyk got the decision
AJ needs to drop Rob MacCracken and get a new trainer, he definitely needs a better game plan for the rematch.
He should have implemented the same long straight right hand to the body that he used against Povetkin.
Although I see Usyk winning again, I always knew he would achieve at heavyweight after watching his performances in the Muhammad Ali trophy tournament. I always disagreed with the whole “he’s too small and doesn’t have the power” comments.
@@ZOMBIELANDakaUSA No, Usyk has greater timing, and also speed. I see AJ losing again, I don’t know how he could win.
I think the key more than anything is the affect of the Ruiz knock out! When usik clipped him in the third, he was panicked more than hurt.
That knockout has affected his training and tactics and has changed his whole demeanour in general. I think a decent head doctor could be a good first step
AJ is a solid all-rounder and beats other all-rounders (even Klitschko -- just). But when he comes up against extreme cases in terms of hand speed (Ruiz), boxing ability (Usyk, Fury), and power (Wilder), it causes -- or is likely to cause -- problems.
Hatman has been saying McCracken has got to go for years and he’s 3000% correct I was listening to rob McCrackens instructions in the corner and was thinking what the hell is going on
Congratulations to Usyk, Great performance, i think EVERYONE in the division will have a real hard night against Usyk, don't know if ANYONE can beat Usyk??? But all credit to AJ for taking this fight. 😉👍
Aj needs to get the dog back and dog him. Was never gonna beat a superior boxer in a boxing match. Chisora had more success as he imposed more rough house tactics on a smaller man. With AJs attributes he should be doing the same. Get out there and try blow him out and try not to look pretty. Maybe go upto 250 and try blow him out. Boxing Usyk is oviousley not how you win. Bring back the AJ that went against Brezeale, Whyte, Molena.
I had it 8-4 usyk. 4-4 going into the 9th. Unbelievable performance by usyk.
Nah i HAD IT 5-3
4-4 in the 9th?? Where are people getting these magical rounds in favor of AJ.?
@@serrahighsfinest exactly
@@serrahighsfinest bias is shocking
120-108 usyk, is the truth of what happened.
In the Heavyweight division you either have to have a ramrod jab eg: Holmes, Lewis, Klitschko or you have tremendous movement and timing like Tyson or Jones Jr in order to sustain your reign as champion. AJ doesn't have neither. He relies on size and power too much. I always thought that Usyk would win. AJ is now in the same position as Wilder where he has to try and beat a technician in a rematch when he has already taught you a lesson. AJ is going to need a Michael Jackson style transformation to have a chance in the rematch and that doesn't happen in 6 months.
Doesn’t happen to ANY fighter in Rob McCracken’s gym either.
I don't think I've ever been so far away from general consensus with my scoring as I am here. (And I had AJ coming from behind against Povetkin) I was that guy who scored Uysk by 2-3 rounds. I had AJ ahead at the end of 9 and had him winning 7,8 and 9 in a row. I didn't see this destruction, at least not until the 12thl. I saw a very competitive matchup where Uysk broke the trend and came out super fast. That backhand he was landing early was beautiful but it stopped landing regularly after 4, AJ made the adjustment and it didn't start landing until after AJ's eye started swelling up in the 9th. He had Uysk swinging and missing wildly at times, Uysk was marked up under both eyes and I felt AJ had great success to the body. Uysk looked uncomfortable to me during the mid rounds. He was moaning about low blows, shaking his head in frustration and hIs body language didn't speak of a one sided route at all.
Having said all that, Usyk started fast and finished very strong. His footwork was beautiful, his double left hook late was ultra impressive and the way he finished 10,11 and especially 12, really coloured the fight for me. He boxed out of his skin and at times, I was really wow'd.
I'm not sure why AJ abandoned the body work, Uysk had no answer for it and wasn't countering off of it either.
I thought it was really entertaining and I'd happily watch the rematch, even if it's likely to play out in a similar fashion. Huge props to both men
I know how this comment might be taken and maybe I'll get some shiz for it but that's okay! I've been watching and reading about boxing long enough to feel comfortable in having a different opinion from even the overwhelming majority in this case. It could just be I've got this wildly wrong and maybe rewatching the fight might alter my opinion.
Good points. I didn't see a "one-sided beatdown" at all but Usyk finished very strong and AJ was exhausted in the last 3 rounds, fighting with one eye shut. Usyk managed his energy amazingly. It looked like he was tiring by the 8th round but he got a second wind and came on strong down the stretch. I was actually very impressed with AJ's upper body movement for a lot of that fight. The truth is up until end of round 9, that fight was close, a toss up. It's from round 9 AJ says he could only see out one eye. It was only that final round which was truly one-sided. The first 9 rounds, as a whole, were a lot closer than that. Round 10, 11, Usyk started pulling away. Round 12 was the only one-sided round in the fight. So I'm a bit surprised by Hatman describing it as a "one-sided beatdown" as that's not a true representation of the fight as a whole, it only describes round 12.
I agree with almost everything you say, Joshua was having some success but never capitalised on it, at times it looked like Usyk wasn't happy with the big shots that aj caught him with but he came back stronger each round, the rematch could be interesting.
WATCH THE FIGHT WITH OUT THE CROWD NOISE AND BIASED COMMENTRY
I struggled to give aj more than a round so how you had him winning 7,8 and 9 is beyond me have you scored a fight before ¿
AJ looked like an amateur against Usyk. They are athletes on totally different levels. If he takes the immediate rematch, he loses again. Rob has to go and AJ has to fix his mind. Once you catch AJ , his flight response is so exaggerated, it’s obvious he has a Ruiz PTSD. AJ should just go and calm down and re-assess his team.
Prime Holyfield and Tyson would both have beaten Joshua convincingly
.. agree'd .. anybody willing to throwdown and receive it back will cause problems
First he takes your legs 🦵🏾...and then he takes your SOUL 💀. Make way for the No. 1 heavyweight Usyk.
@@simplyballing1592 Usyk beat the guy who held 4 belts and who had the better resume than Fury. If cunningham could rock fury, no need to talk about what Usyk is capable of doing against Fury.
Lets just all take a minute to say we're so glad the right man got the decision
Holy smokes! Congrats to Usyk! I think Joshua should stay away from the rematch and get some fights in, learn his craft just a bit more then challenge again in 2023 or late 2022.
I agree, Usyk is too much for him in a direct rematch. Usyk is one scary "little guy"!
Am still stunned and devastated that Usyk schooled and whooped Aj so bad I felt sorry for him... I still don’t believe Wht I watched damn how did he do that? I thought it was supposed to be an easy night for Aj but boy I was soso wrong as Aj couldn’t even see where usyk’s shots were coming from. 😞👎👎
AJ was so cautious, usyk was bullying him all fight
Joshua sticking his tongue out at the end like he’d been making Usyk miss and hadn’t just been getting smashed with both hands hanging on desperately against the ropes was hilarious 😂
Big for nothing ....Rob Macraken needs sacking.... You beat a slick southpaw with 3s and 4s not singles......no energy no second phase attacks..... Absolute joke....
such anger is justified..i am just as upset about what i saw there really disappointing...who do you recommend as a new coach if such was to happen......me i recommend the Sims brothers or manny robbles or teddy atlas
Yea AJ looked confused as hell out there. You could tell bc he wouldn't commit to any of the punches he was throwing, it's like he was second-guessing his punches mid-punch while he was throwing them. But worst of all it's clear he doesn't have that dawg in him. Congrats to Usyk, really happy for him.
Was it McCracken in the corner shouting 'brilliant aj' every 10sec, even when he was hitting air and getting brutally countered
That's an old amateur trick on how to dissuade the judges. Won't work as well when it's in front of 60,000 people and televised all over the world.
No that was stupid loud mouth bellew
Those belts are not regainable for AJ. He can make all the changes in the world, USYK is miles better than AJ in every way expect power
Power is Ajs solution.
AFTER USYK MAKES FURY LOOK SILLY A LOT OF PEOPLE OWE JOSHUA AN APOLOGY.
100%
It happened
McCracken is bad. I can’t believe he didn’t mention usyk stepping on the outside of AJ lead leg. If he stopped that usyk wouldn’t have been about to reach down the centre to negate AJ’s reach. Foot work lost this fight .
Yep I agree I noticed it time and time again usyk stepping around and landing that left hand or jab. It's one of the main reasons AJ didn't throw the right power hand as much as normal because usyk wouldnt let him set his feet long enough to land on him. Usyks angles and movements were phenomenal
Yeah. Sometimes boxer needs a corner, when things gets ugly. AJ didn't have one. Shame.
As soon as the fight started I knew there that Usyk was going to be an absolute nightmare for AJ.
hatman covers all bases before a fight, and after the fight says i told ya!!!! its like me sayin heads and tails will win! then braggin after
Fully agree, I noticed that too
Very true lol
He's saying it's not impossible for this outcome to happen not I told you usyk was going to win.
It's ironic.
AJ underestimated Ruiz and it cost him.
AJ overestimated Usyk and it cost him.
I think AJ prepared the best he could and got beat by the better manand the rematch will be easier for Usyk.
@@ibrstellar1080 I think the same. Usyk is special. His mind set is inspirational
@@ibrstellar1080 I agree usyk would knock Aj out in the rematch.
I think Usyk beats Fury because he struggles with smaller more mobile fighters. He beats Wilder because he will exploit his technical limitations. Styles make fights. Funnily enough I think Dillian Whyte is the toughest fight for Usyk. He’s awkward, he’s willing to gamble, take punches to land one and he will work the body every chance he gets. I’m not saying he beats Usyk but I think he’s a nightmare style wise for Usyk.
Thank you I was saying the exact same thing earlier, I think that Dillian’s love of bodyshots would’ve slowed Usyk’s legs down too…..🤔💯✌🏿
@@bezzyranx9839 dillian would get ko'd I can see it just gets up close with dillian and shows him levels to close fighting
I don't like rematch clauses being allowed in mandatory fights.
It was put in because they knew it could turn out like this they would of dropped a belt if the rematch clause wasn't in the contract
@@thewildwanderer4984 Ah makes sense. Thanks for saying
It’s hard to make the case for AJ being elite when he can’t change tactics mid fight..
What? Of course Joshua is elite, look what he's achieved already in his career, unifying 3 world titles in under 20 fights beating a hall of Famer in Wladimir Klitschko along the way! Was Klitschko not an elite fighter in your opinion then?
I really don't understand why people are so critical of Anthony Joshua.
@@weedyphe is definitely elite
@@thetruesquad5059 Thankyou sir!....Of course Joshua is an elite heavyweight! Any professional boxer ranked in the top 20 in the world is by definition an elite boxer!!
It baffles me why Id even need to say this to somebody!
Could you imagine what Muhammad Ali would do in this era 😂Complete domination
Nah , Wilder would knock down anyone from any era
@@archangeldesmond5143 bruh look at Wilders resume. I like the brother but he’s got more tomato cans then Mike Tyson and that’s saying ALOT. Wilder was scared to death of Wladimir Klitschko when he was undeafeated wbc champion.Literally the best fighter that Wilder has ever beaten was that old ass Cuban dude
I think Usyk's fight with Chisora was a calculated move, Chisora was a stylistic nightmare for Usyk so Usyk put himself in the deep end in a sense and still came out on top. Perfect sharpening of mettle for the top heavyweights.
Yes, agreed
I wonder if AJ knew it was a good possibility of him being beaten and wanted to sign the sky deal beforehand
When I saw Usyk posting that love letter to his wife I realised : for him this is the moment. The fight of his career. He looked great at the weigh in and he is in his prime. And just like Floyd or Lomachenko he is a great technician but people forget that they are also physically very strong fighters. I knew it was gonna be tough. Usyk is a level above AJ and if there is a rematch AJ will lose again. No one can give you back that long learning years that you get starting in your early teens.
I had wondered already if usyk had purposely not shown his best work against chisora. If he had destroyed chisora maybe he would have never got the aj fight. Usyk was a different animal last night.
I believe that’s exactly what he did in his 2 heavyweight fights never left 2nd gear in ether fight we seen at his best last night brilliant
@@desolusholakelly he's also had more time to adapt to the weight gain and settle as a hw. Greetings from Finglas my Irish bro 👍🍻
‘Hatman strikes again!!’ Great analysis as always sir! 🎯👏🏼
Top quality boxing! Congrats Usyk.
I think you may be right about McCracken 🤔 AJ will have to do that soon, before he’s too old
Upsets happen when champions defend their belts.
yup majority boxing fans are not used to it. People are already writting a.j off after a loss just like the ruiz fight. People take losses way to deep in this sport you can come back and win.
What did Hatman mean about AJ and the 'The Postman's knock'?
Usyk could of knocked out Joshua if he had pressed really hard.
Antony is afraid of getting hurt. He's gun shy
I feel like Usyk had too much respect for AJ
I agree with the rob mccracken sentiment… british fighting style are your typical up straight up and down… tyson fury knew this… he knew he is not going to progress with his previous coach… because that coach always teach him the same things… tyson was a boxer and when he joined the kronk gym it turned him into a boxer-puncher and made him even deadlier… AJ needs a new coach..
That old saying man... Styles makes fights, well done Usyk 👏👏👏
Kudos Hatman, nice to have an honest summation of how it really was/is, so sick of all the over biased ‘analysts’ with a bag full of excuses.
It was a absolutely tremendous bout I'm so happy for him and I feared the worst for him that the Judges wouldn't give it to him especially after the Campbell Hatton fight and when sections of the audience was booing the Ukrainian national anthem but he was able to rise to the occasion and Kept his faith , as for AJ he should have got rid of McCracken years ago and t oo much of the sky team blowing smoke for too long and this is making his Long term deal with Eddie Hearn looking sour
Really like AJ but he was destroyed ! Only way he could win was a be brutal ! But he tried to box . Rob Mackren surely has to be sacked
*I AM VERY FEEL*
I’ve been saying it since Klitschko threw him out of the ring in sparring
It’s just these pundits and fanboys
Who just deflect and make excuses
Nobody beats Usyk
Fury wouldn’t have a chance
.. 😄 good 1 .
Delboy did better
Great analysis. Great video.
How strange is it that Chisora had the correct strategy and actually did better than AJ.
Chisora can't do anything else. AJ got on his bike in the Ruiz rematch and all of a sudden thought he was Mayweather.
@@Wheresnorth4romhere yeah, jumping around sandbags made him feel like boxing demigod.
Right. AJ made a mistake in Ruiz fight. I blame the corner for what happened yesterday.
Game plan was all wrong. He had to impose himself on the smaller man and let the hands go. You can't box with the best master boxer in the world P4P. The body was the key, Usyk was visibly hurt every time to the body. I think he should leave RM, if only Emanuel Steward was still around
yep, I thought the only success AJ had was to the body, but even though they were big shots Usyk ate them and went straight back to work. Different class. Imagine what he'd have done if he was the same size as AJ!
I’m an AJ fan but he got absolutely pieced up. Usyk Exposed AJ limitations, you can tell AJ really tried his best to play the chess match. AJ would have been better off trying to rough him up. Personally AJ needs to get better at adapting on the fly
for sure, he needs a rough em up game, he needs that in his playbook. this stand up straight and 1 2 thing dont cut it in every situation. usyk made him look like a punch bag in some of those rounds.
@@necaacen yeah this is why he needs to leave Rob his style is too one dimensional, I think Teddy Atlas would serve AJ well.
@Calmac1888 That could very well be the case . but there’s a way to apply that pressure and not gas’s out. Fury did it against Otto Wallin you gotta make it a rough and dirty fight.
@Calmac1888 could be, but hes got a chance that way. this way hes just going 12 rounds to a guaranteed loss. sometimes you got to look at a punchers chance and realise its your only chance when the chips are down and ur losing 3 belts.
@@jeromerodgers-blake332 imo Usyk wins every time unless AJ catches him with that demon uppercut. AJ has a weak chin and even he knows he can't stand and trade with a boxer who is faster and more accurate because when he gets clipped he's in danger. Whyte hurt him, Vlad dropped him, Andy Ruiz sent his soul back to the UK, Usyk had him hurt in early rounds when they traded and almost KOd him in round 12. His chin is his biggest issue, if he can strengthen his chin he can go back to being ruthless without worrying.
AJ definitely needs to get a new corner, who advises someone to slim down and then to just stand behind your jab for 12 Rounds. He might as well have just stayed big if he was going to do that, least he would of done more damage that way. You slim down to move not stand there like some lemon and let a guy throw heat straight down the middle.
Did his team even take Usyk as a serious threat cause to me it seemed like they massively underestimated him.
AJ got found out, there's levels to boxing even at heavyweight. One thing I think you underestimated a while back though is AJs drawing power, the man is still selling out stadiums.
You’ve been calling this for years, you got it from early 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
You cannot prepare for usyk and fury. There's no sparring you can get thats even close. You train hard and try your best and thats it.
Your analysis is perfect. As usual. I completely agree with you.
Don’t despair (fan)boys … AJ does have a future, he’s still top 10 😀 Jake Paul next?
lol we will all endure the ridicules for the next 6 months or so....congratulations to you and big congratulations the top man himself usyk he was masterful and sensational in there ...i am still on that AJ bus i am not getting off
AJ had fear in his eyes from the jump.
Campbell Hatton still confused why non British fighters win lmao
AJ has lost the dog in him, if he exercises the rematch clause he needs to go back to the beginning and find that rough dog in him again. Let's see what happens
I can't remember exactly what round, but it was early on, Aj got a bit rocked by Usyk, and he looked really deflated in the corner. He really looked like he was thinking to himself, oh no, here we go again.
Facts! 🤕. He needs to stop this new cautious style. It's not him!
Tbh idk if he ever had it.
I told you Usyk is the best heavyweight but you all laughed at me
Nobody knows who you are lad lol
He isn’t proven as the best heavyweight yet-no one is.
They still laugh mate, he beat AJ for fucks sake
Thank you hatman!! For some honest commentary 🤣
