“I watched the fight. Naturally, I was glad that Alexander won this fight. Joshua, in my opinion, performed much better than the first fight, but still it was not enough to win. Personally, I think that he is not mentally ready for this fight.
I can’t say I’m surprised by Joshua’s behavior after the fight. The man lost and it’s a serious injury for him. Many people in such a situation are very disappointed and may present themselves in completely different ways. This is how he showed himself. It was very ugly in terms of discipline, manners, it was wrong. As an athlete, I understand it and I can close my eyes to it.
