Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua vs. Robert Gabriel Helenius & Filip Hrgović vs. Demsey McKean RBR

Very worrying signs for the loyal hordes of Team Humble Fans

Great KO and credit where it was due as he pulled it out after toiling in the fight and losing rounds.

Will be very surprised if he fights Wilder and Fury in his next 2 fights according to Hearn's plan.

 

Haha
Fair enough, he may not be shite but he is no where near being the best heavyweight and never will be.

As opposed to having an agenda that is absolutely not the case.
I call out AJ when people like you make out he is some all time great.
I also can't stand Fury- he is a disgrace

 

What’s the issue. AJ is who he is. Last minute opponent, bit gun shy, got in and KOd him.

Wont end well for him vs Wilder but won in the way I expected

 

Will Wilder really get up though? I don’t recall him facing any serious punchers in his career.

 

Dubois is well below the level of even shot Helenius for me. He’s barely above the level of Big Larry O in his pomp if at all.

 

I don't see him going down in the first place, but yeah, I don't see why he doesn't. He's been in tough places and hung tough when clipped and yes, AJs power is good, but he barely put a dent in Parker, Usyk or little known Jermaine Franklin so I don't see why Wilder shouldn't be able to stand up to AJs best shots.

 

I feel asleep after the Chisora fight, is it worth watching the full AJ fight back?

 

twas boring as **** mate no good punches landed before that

 

They'll try to make the Wilder fight but they'll offer crappy terms and try to stack the deck so I can't see it happening.

 

Like another poster mentioned earlier, AJ has had everything that made him dangerous trained out of him. His trainer needs to sit him down and make him watch all his fights up to and including Klitschko and say remember this guy? It’s a mental thing with AJ now. He’s terrified of getting hit.

 

Saudi mob are sorting deals

No stacking here this time

 

Hope so.

We've heard it all before though haven't we. Get promised a big heavyweight fight, looks certain to happen and then doesn't materialise. I'll believe it when there's a press conference.

 

Wilder next, gets beat badly then retires.

Getting booed by his own crowd, very telling looks on Bazza’s and Eddie’s face on the front row. Think they know too that he’s done.

 

Matchroom isn’t leading the show though so it won’t be easy to do that. Skills Challenge just want a good event and if they come out with Wilder as a big punching attraction to sell then they’ll be fine with that. Probably the best promotion Wilder ever had.

 

An absolute clinic if you like 2 rabbits caught in the headlights.

Great KO but shocking up to that point from Joshua.

The game is up when one is more worried about the power from limited opponents rather than his own power.

Perhaps that final shot will wake him up regarding his very poor showings over the previous 2 fights.

He has only stopped two old men with zero shot resistance plus Amir Khan chins being Pulev and Helenius in 5 years since the Povetkin fight.

Bellew clearly wants him to steer clear of Wilder with his comments and I think he is done when any live fighter throws punches at him.

Usyk, Fury and Wilder destroy him plus Bakole would walk right through him as he is more durable and will let the punches go.

The Bakole fight is the most sensible to take next as he needs this test before he steps anywhere near the top again. He needs to face and come through adversity to gain confidence and he learns nothing fighting Pulev, Whyte or Helenius types.
