joshua is an average boxer if he wasn't from the uk would be nowhere near this level. usyk took the piss tonight had him winning 8:4 on my card and genuinely don't think he reached 100%

Joshua improved on the first fight but was still nowhere near Uysks level.
Strange behavior at the end but I’d give him some slack, he’s clearly under huge pressure the last 10years and it’s boiled over.

It was fairly level im my view after the 9th which Johua won. Uysk upped it then for the last 3 rounds and won comfortably. Joshua always tires if yoy can hold him off for 6 or 7 rounds. He was spent at the end. I think Uysk would beat Fury.

And the judge who scored it in AJs favor needs to be sacked immediately

I thought Joshua won a max of four rounds. Uysk against Fury would be great to see. How could Fury handle the skillset of Uysk and the constant movement and changing of angles. But I do think Fury wins if he prepares properly. I'd like to see Wilder vs Joshua in an eliminator. I think Wilder wins that

Agree. Cannot get my head around that one. Zhang was robbed in the fight before too. Dodgy judges ruining the sport.

Uysk Fury would be epic. AJ is so overated. Top boxers have fast hands. His hand speed is so slow. That speech? WTF was that?

The Zhang decision was worse than the one judge giving it to Joshua. There's absolutely no way that Hrgovic done enough to get a draw never mind the win. If Zhang had put a few more combinations together in the couple of rounds that Hrgovic was falling around the place he would have knocked him out. For a 39 year old heavyweight Zhang done well even though he was wrecked by the end. Its not good for boxing to see decisions like that, its like something you'd see in the wwf or wwe or whatever its called now.

I dipped in and out of the Zhang fight. I wasn't really surprised when i seen the verdict. From the rounds i seen they looked fairly even. Both landing shots at different times. Hrgovich definitely looked fresher and landing in the later rounds. Either way they are 2 awful heavyweights. Terrible. How would Usyk Joshua or a Fury get up for fighting these bums. They would wipe the floor with either with 1 hand tied behind their back. I didn't see much controversy online about the decision. Couldn't have been that big a shock.

On the Zhang fight, the Compubox stats actually backed up the decision to give it to Hrgovic

Not sure what all the fuss is about so. I didn't see Zhang do fook all to have claimed a win.

Zhang barely throwing a punch in the final 3 rounds gave the judges a reason to give it to the favorite. But no way he deserved it. A draw was probably a fair result, Hrgovic only seemed interested every second round, was kinda bizarre.

Bar scoring the only knock down and wobbling Hrgovic a few times. Hrgovic threw and landed plenty more than Zhang but didn’t really hurt him.

Correct me if I'm wrong as I'm not really into boxing but isn't that how you actually win points in boxing? If he landed more hits on his opponent then he should win no?

Kenneth Egan’s input on the fight on newstalk Sunday afternoon was an enjoyable listen and good insight.

Put something similar in the things that annoy you thread but again another example today of a fight people have a genuine interest in seeing in Fury vs. Joshua talking about a fight happening and then it doesn't end up happening.
Either just make it happen or shut the f**k up talking about it. Too many fights in boxing that should be made buy just then don't get put together or not until one or them there stock has fallen. That's the great thing about ufc. Best fight the best
