    I hope WIlder KO's AJ in the first second of the fight.


    AJ is trash human being. Garbage.

    He is overrated as hell and mediocre. Do you prefer that terminology ?

    Nah. I think AJ struggled with the height. Which doesn't bode well against Wilder and Fury.

    AJ gets the win but.. not a natural fighter , has little flow to his boxing. Still he is a very good athlete . Props to Helenius taking the fight on short notice , gave a good account of himself .

    I'm hoping for a nice, not unhinged, at all post match speech from AJ.

    Worst outcome for AJ outside a loss. He learned nothing.

    Personally I care more about competitive fights than "big" fights. :nusenuse:

    Had the fight continued like that with Joshua never finding the confidence to fire a big shot, then I'd stand by that. After the KO though, bring on Wilder in January. :sisi1

    "I don't wanna say too much."

    That's a new one for AJ.

    What an afternoon of bad boxing. The appetizer was crap. I hope main dish, Navarette\Valdez , makes up for this afternoon.
