In the early hours of this morning, former world heavyweight treble Englishman Anthony Joshua fought hard for 12 rounds, losing points to Ukrainian technologist Usik, and also broke out a cold goal. In fact, more than 90% of boxing fans and experts before the match were optimistic about Joshua's defeat of Usik. Unexpectedly, Usik defeated Joshua with an amazing tactical performance, which was seen by boxing legends George Foreman and Lennox Lewis, who were depressed.
Let's take a look at what two heavyweight seniors commented on.
"The devil," Foreman said, "I watched Joshua and Usik's game, and I thought Joshua was scared and didn't dare to fight back. Joshua has lost the dignity of a champion, and he should have fought back immediately. Usik is a typical left-hander, if Usik does not take the initiative to approach Joshua, then Joshua should take the initiative to attack, but Joshua has a problem, he is not the original him. ”
As the top heavyweight boxer of the 1970s and 1980s, Foreman had a say, and if Joshua had half of Foreman's ability to resist the fight and fearless courage, he would not have lost the game. Today Joshua is indeed too conservative, committed to grinding points, and does not dare to play a combination punch to KO Usik. As a result, four draws and eight stables, one board and one eye to fight, the points lost. As everyone knows, Usik is a master of points, and the ability to grind points is unmatched.
Joshua really lost the domineering and dignity of the king, beat too gently, in the end it was still his chin that did not resist the beating, and he lacked confidence. Of course, physical strength is also a problem. He was exhausted by the usik perpetual motion machine-like physical energy of the last drop of oil.
Regarding Joshua's fiasco, senior Lennox Lewis said: "Joshua should not have executed the wrong tactics tonight, for Joshua, this is not the end of the road, but you can't always tempt or wait until the eighth round to start trying to attack." It is hoped that Joshua will learn from it and improve it.
Usik is undisputed a sub-heavyweight champion and now a world heavyweight champion. It's worth it to embark on a long journey, work hard, and actively pursue your goals. ”
Lewis and Foreman both expressed their views on the game, and they were very wrong with Joshua, but they did not kill him with a stick, they still left Joshua with a glimmer of life, thinking that Joshua could have done better. Therefore, Joshua must choose revenge, after all, he also signed a 2-war agreement.
But whether Joshua can get revenge, it is too difficult to say. Joshua must pass the level of heart demon, and since being KO by Ruiz, she is no longer the joshua she used to be. That domineering spirit is gone, and it is weak when it is hit by a heavy punch, which is fatal.
