    Wallin was a good win for AJ if your comparing the Fury fight, but Wallin is a step down even from people like Joyce never mind Zhang or Hrgovic.

    Joshua beats the C level fighters we know this. The win doesn't tell us anything we didn't already know. The performance was good but can he do that against Hrgovic, that's a level up.

    It's a good first effort by Saudi to organize boxing for the best to fight the best. I think it will improve for 2024.

    Also Tony Bellend's favourite tennis player is Serena Williams.

    Says it all really.

    To me it probes alot of smoke and mirrors to the wbc belt side of the heavyweight division. Fury got dropped by an mma novice and his best teo victories post wlad got schooled today.
    Usyk stock went up and if it wasnt already clear he is the man right now in the division tonight definitly helped his argument.

    1. Wilder is done and should retire.
    2. Mak's ceiling lower than previously thought. It was clear he was limited, but was hoping he could climb a little higher. Guess not.
    3. Miller hype train is over and he needs to go on a diet.

    AJ, Wallin, Bivol = No change. Performed within expectations.

    Parker... maybe climbs a bit, but I mostly attribute the outcome to Wilder's failure rather than Parker's success. In my opinion.

    Oh but probably the biggest conclusion is idksab as this card had my most wrong predictions ever.

    He didn’t, but now he’s a legit contender not the nearly guy. Parker has beaten Wilder by utter domination.

    Wallin was the guy who gave Fury all kings of trouble, beat Gassiev, and was being hyped up by numerous fanboys. He’s been overrated but to beat him the way AJ did was impressive. He all round looked excellent - still don’t think he gets near Usyk or Fury. Those 2 are clearly at the top (even despite the Ngannou performance) but AJ is now number 3.

    This card show us that some ppl live in illusion create by Fury and Wilder.
    They fight each other and dont want smoke with Joshua. They create idea in some head that nobody can beat thoose 2. Bull ****.

    There is only one more think needed. Usyk must schooled lazy fat Gypsy and become best of the era.
    And Joshua still got big chance to be second one here before Fury and for sure before one trick pony Wilder.

    Wilder is a fraud.
    Parker is back.
    AJ is the second best fighter in the division and Usyk is the rightful champion.
    Miller is finished.

    And Jai Opetaia is one scary MF.

    Number 3 of marquee names, probably. Could he beat Hrgo and Zhang? I wouldn't bet on it.

    Is Wilder more of a fraud though? We always knew he couldnt box but had a dangerous weapon in his right. That tactic cant work all the time, especially at a higher level.
    Add in his heart obviously not being in it, age, inactivity and losses. It obviusky makes Fury look bad but it doesnt make me think differently on how I akways saw Wilder. There is always the possibility he ko's a better opponent while getting schooled cause he cant box.

    That there's a very real chance that Usyk's already beaten the second best guy in the division, twice.
    (Personally, I already thought this, but this strengthens my conviction).

    That the chances of Fury ducking out of the Usyk fight are higher - his pride will have taken a battering tonight.

    1) Boxrec overrates Mark de Mori, having him at #244 at HW. Way too high

    2) Makhmudov is an unskilled caveman who can't take a punch

    3) Dubois can be more durable than he showed in his earlier fights

    4) Wilder is done

    5) Parker is solid top-10 fighter, not a gatekeeper as many claimed recently

    6) Fury's resume took a massive hit, not as big as his recent fight against Ngannou though

    7) Usyk will completely dominate Fury and probably stops him
