It's Official: Anthony Joshua vs Michael Hunter June 1st MSG

Where is Briedis when you need him?

 

Latvia.

 

Its not Joshua's or Hearn's fault that Miller and Ortiz both ****ed things up is it...

 

Exactly. WTF is wrong with Grandpa Ortiz that he wouldn't man up and face Joshua? Is the Old Geezer afraid of getting KOd?

 

It is Joshua's and Hearns fault for not having had a back up, and for going all the way to lil ole america, when he could have stayed home in wembley and face a real contender like Whyte.

 

Of the available options I think Hunter is the best outcome if it is made official. It's not a great or even good match up but I'd take it over Andy Ruiz Jr. At the very least he'll show up in shape and give it his all.

 

Official = Announced by both fighters and both promotional company

Nothing is official yet.

But I’m fed with these ridiculous match ups in boxing. Why not Joshua-Fury or Joshua-Wilder

Boxing is 80% business and 20% sport.

 

I despair really.

 

I thought Whyte was offered the fight before the whole MSG debacle.

 

Whyte priced himself out, he was offered a record payday and said no and we know Joshua is trying to break America where he can make more money and he's also hoping to unify not go over old ground paying someone far more than he needs to for an opponent.

The fact you're criticising Hunter as an opponent is funny when Whyte is about to fight Rivas who lost to Hunter in the Olympic trials. If Hunter is bad, Rivas is worse.

 

Exactly Ruiz even said he needs to get down to 246 & no one can beat him at 246. To say this publically before the fight, what was he thinking?

 

Another mismatch I'm afraid, even shorter odds on Joshua than against Miller.

 

Ortiz should take all the blame for this. He was offered the fight and stupidly turned it down.

Ortiz is all talk.

 

Wilder is also just the same when it comes to AJ. All Talk

 

Who needs Breidis? Extremely straightforward KO win for Joshua. Not that Hunter isn’t.
