    Well that's it for me gents I enjoyed the main event lived up to expectations in a shocking way unfortunately I won't be joining many other RBR's because of the time difference but I'll see you all again for Fury/Usyk 2.

    Ruiz took an even bigger punch than that IMO. If you're relying on landing a big shot and hanging around with your head in the air to yell timber then that's not something to boast about.

    Good on Dubois, beat Miller, beat Herc, and now Joshua. He looks limited and Joshua brought nothing tonight. Would Parker do better?

    What? What are you talking about? Marquez and Pac fought four times, 3 went the distance and one was a knock out by Marquez the last one. The first 3 the fights by the way were classic back and forth, if Marquez had been absolutely destroyed by Manny in any of those fights, the way Joshua was by Daniel there would have been no rematch.

    Joshua brings in the money, and has a rematch clause he will probably get his rematch, but let’s not argue Marquez throwing leather against a beast in his day and taking it to the distance despite taking multiple knock downs is anything similar to the fight we have just witnessed it wasn’t. Joshua landed two good shots, God only knows how many Marquez landed against Manny in those first three fights. It was a demolition job by Daniel tonight.

    He didn't look 'on'. He looked like he was waiting in a queue.

    What a demolition job by DDD. Super entertaining fight with an amazing atmosphere, just wow.

    Wilder vs. Joshua starting to look appealing now...

    I think the Fury of the last 2 years or so wants none of the Dubois we saw tonight.

    First knockdown. the overhand from Dubois wasn't tight nor was it set up with a jab. Such an unexpected punch to throw so early in the fight. Danny may not be Einstein but that was clever.

    Joshua kept his hands down when at long range. I don't think he expected to lose the jab battle.

    Props to DuBois and AJ both. That was an epic heavyweight fight for high stakes and both men covered themselves with glory. Both guys in supreme shape and they left it all in the ring. What else could one ask for?

    That said, I never ever wanna hear about corrupt Las Vegas tryin' to throw it to the "A" side ever again. The ref was 10/10 in the bag for AJ. Fortunately DuBois went Hagler mode: "brought my own judges".

    I gotta admit, I'm shattered by the outcome - ONLY because I didn't end up putting a bet on Dubois as I had contemplated.

    I actually got up too late to watch the whole thing - literally only caught the last 20 secs or so.

    It appeared that Dubois absorbed several decent right hands quite well just before lowering the boom on AJ. I need to see the full fight from go to whoa. Congrats to Daniel.

    Just wanted to post somewhere that it bothered me that the anthem of The House Of Saud preceded "God Save The King" in London in a Heavyweight Championship Boxing match fought by Marquess Of Queensberry rules.

    Roy Jones jr Vs tarver ?

    You know how idiotic you sound saying a fighter can't get a rematch just because they got Kod especially in the circumstances where he obviously had the other fighter hurt but got clipped being too eager
