You're welcome, @mckane. Sport isn't my go-to genre of choice but I still know a considerable amount about it. Osmosis!
I also like your style. 👍

Thanks for the compliment.
My dude lost last night.
Did you watch it? Sounds like Usyk won confidently even though it ended with a split decision.
Yes, I did. Usyk won confidently, he controlled the tempo of the fight all through. AJ is not the type to outpoint his opponent. His best weapon is to KO. Usyk knows that, he avoided that all through and won.
Watching AJ go berserk was embarrassing. He lost his cool and did nasty things after the bout. It's heartbreaking to see him cry during press conference.
It's the nature of the sport. Boxers are built up and can come to believe the hype. Then it all comes crashing down. At that point, reality sucks!
It is such a cruel sport. When a boxer wins everyone celebrates with them, but when they lose it's all on their own. The emotion is just too much.
What pained the most about AJ is that despite all his achievements in the sport, he still isn't rated as one of the best.. A win against Usyk would've shut those critics down. With this loss, he will never get the respect he deserves.
