       Night A Good Night For

       Nigerian fighters.
       Anthony Joshua lost to Ukranian Oleksandr Usyk in boxing
       championship heavyweight rematch.  He's already lost to him
       previously but this time it was closer...losing on a split
       decision.  From all accords the fight was pretty good and
       couldve gone either way.  But if you're the champ, you have to
       get beat pretty convincingly to lose a decision.  Thats my
       opinion anyway.  Congrats to the big guy Usyk, he did what
       champions do.
       Also, Kamaru Usman lost to Leon Edwards in UFC278.  I'm kinda
       shocked by this.  And once again its why I say, in order to be
       the champ you gotta BEAT the champ convincingly.  Edwards did
       just that and SHOCKED the world.  Usman is a no joke, but he got
       caught.  Anyone can get caught slipping in a fight.  Congrats to
       the new Champ....!!!  The broadcasters were writing Edwards off
       too.  Basically saying he should be happy to be here kinda
       ish...[emoji23]

       Anthony Joshua is so frustrating IMO.  Had all the talent in the
       world to be able to dominate this era, but for whatever reason
       his offense has been completely derailed and it's his own doing.
       Went from being a guy with an awesome offensive arsenal
       throwing beautiful powerful combinations, to a guy that just
       throws 1 punch at a time.
       I simply don't understand it.  Not sure if he has bad trainers
       that are giving him bad advice.  Or if he just doesn't listen.

       Yeah, when. He first came on the scene, I thought for sure he
       was gonna take over.  Even though the Klitschko brother was old,
       he fought like a warrior in defeat.  The Klitschko bros had a
       run for sure.  The 1st fight vs Ruiz was the one that told me he
       was a fraud…even though he won the rematch.  I knew it then,
       that he wasn’t gonna be a long term champ.  He really wanted
       Tyson Fury for years, but ended up fighting the champ, Oleksandr
       Usyk, who beat him twice.  Don’t know where he goes from here.

       And his excuses kill me.  He says he's too big and it's too hard
       to throw combos at his size.  Such a nonsensical excuse.
       1) He used to throw combos, it's not like he's grown since then.
       
       2) Let's say for argument's sake that it's true that he has
       bulked up since his earlier years and added more muscle and it
       has negatively affected his boxing skills.  Well who's damn
       fault is that!  Then spend less time on sculpting your body and
       more time on hitting the heavy bag and sparring then.
       3) Riddick Bowe, Lennox Lewis, the Klitchkos, etc... ALL big
       guys that all threw combos.   Heck Tyson Fury weighs 30 pounds
       more than Fury and throws PLENTY of combos.
       It's such nonsense.

       A pugilist who doesn’t throw combos is a UFC/MMA fighter w/o the
       kicking…😂

       Usman played with his kill and got burned for it.
