Deserves its own thread: AJ’s post-fight freakout

It's just my personal take, but I truly believe that AJ doesn't grasp certain aspects of boxing. All those nuances that Usyk does and that secure him the rounds - that's not Joshua's world, hence his questioning "I'm strong, you're not strong, how did you beat me?".

A bunch of backhanded compliments isn't a good look.

I said in the thread it was like he was pissed but knew he had to force complements in. Just came across as conceited.

Worst part was Urysk asking for the flag back. Said everything.

Usyk didnt ask for it. He just took it after AJ showed poor sportsmanship.

You can tell by his head shape and narrow frame/body that he isn’t supposed to be that size. He’s will’d his body past it’s natural peak and that’s why he suffers in later rounds. When he’s gassed he doesn’t even breath heavy, it’s his lactic buildup because of his muscles on that tiny frame.

Thats why joe joyce is such a freak he is 6'6 but also has a big frame even for that size.

I thought he gestured for it first but the fact that he took it

Looked like he took it from the camera angle I saw it, but I'll give it a 2nd look.
 
Transcribing some of it (all quotes are AJ)

‘How did you beat me’
‘Wait, wait I’m talking’
‘Sorry’ [for taking the Ukraine flag]
‘If you knew my story, you would understand . . . I ain’t no fucking amateur boxer, from five years old that was an elite prospect as a youth, I was going to jail’
‘If I got sentenced, I wouldn’t be able to fight’
‘G14 raise your hand!’
‘I’m not a twelve round fighter. Look at me!’ [LOL]
‘I’m a new breed of heavyweights [didn’t think I would hear about new breed fighters again]. All them heavyweights — Mike Tyson, Sonny Listen, Jack Dempsey. Oh, ah, he don’t throw combinations like Rocky Marciano. Cause I ain’t fucking 14 stone. I’m 18 stone’.

‘I was studying Ukraine and where the champions come from, it’s an amazing country but I ain’t ever been there, but at the same time what’s happening in there is, I don’t know what’s happening’.

[talking to Loma off camera] ‘there was issues in Ukraine in your second fight. There was civil war’.

Was embarrassing stuff by AJ. He should have said less instead he looked silly.
 
I think his team failed him once again between rounds. When he talks to Usyk, he talks about skills that he showed in this fight, that usyks punches were nothing, presumably because of his shitty team. But still, he went out like a bitch man.
 
Is this it? No more Anthony Joshua as undisputed?

It feels bad, really bad man

I think Joshua has some undiagnosed mental condition

His reaction to Ruiz 1 loss was also weird af

Plus the odd shyt he tends to say as a fight approaches

There's something going on with him

narcism

a lot of people suspected he was a closet narc but now the mask is off

bipolar reactions to failures are common with people like that. It's the attempt to bolster their own ego while attempting to maintain the charade
 
The fame, icon status, and yes men have turned him into another disconnected celebrity weirdo who thinks it's all about him. Didn't get gifted a decision for the second time in a row, that was enough for the exaggerated nice guy persona to snap.

Wilder is a horrible public speaker when he’s not concussed so at the very least it would’ve been hilarious.

That's my thought.

Or he woulda just kept yelling I'm a warrior, let me go out on my shield.
