    Can't read too much into that. Helenius actually boxed well and used his range instead of waking in face first with his hands down like a rank novice right into the path of the only thing the Dosser does well ie. throw a big right hand albeit many are suspicious he might have took a dive in that one.

    AJ struggled with Helenius' range and counter punching threat but the Viking started to tire and loiter on the ropes and you could see he was going to get caught with a big right hand sooner rather than later when he started doing that.

    Wilder isnt a petrified viking though and will look to take AJ's head off over a dozen times before the 7th round

    Supposed to be seeing the best fight the best but instead we got Chisora Fury 3, Joshua fighting Wilders left overs and now Fury’s soon to come circus act with a cage fighter. **** this modern day heavyweight division man.

    If he can muster the ball sac to let his hands go as Wilder will be all over the place swinging wildly as always.

    After that game challenge from Helenius, people who called him as bad as or worse an opponent than Ngannou should eat a little crow.

    You can see the changes, and style Joshua's trying to perform. But it doesn't seem to come natural to him. It takes quite a few fights, and it would be a bad idea to put him in there with Wilder. He looks confused and awkward with this style. Perhaps the reflexes aren't quite there.

    Good win—Ummmm that’s debatable as he looks like a shot fighter with zero confidence

    Yes, 39 years old and just fought last week was bound to tire and he did. But, I was surprised he lasted as long as he did and swelled up Joshuas face some.

    Seems that way, even in both Usyk fights he fought his best at a very high level, don't know whats happened to AJ.

    The blueprint is there for Joshua to beat Wilder, jump on him make him fight on back foot and hit him with one big right hand on that fragile mandible! Easy work

    AJ is one fight away from getting KTFO
    Had a tall fighter today, hands down 75% of the time, leaning forward and AJ was still lacking the confidence to let his hands go and end the show with his power. Sad man is AJ
