    You want to talk about PTSD. Prenga is going to have a lot of rough nights nursing the bottle watching this fight back wishing he went for it more. Ouch.

    How do you think a potential AJ-Hrgovic matchup would end now?

    I've given AJ his fair share of criticism in the past because I don't think he is anywhere near the past great heavyweights, what I take exception to though is people dismissing what he's gone through and downplaying him fighting through it

    If he's mentally damaged because of the car crash then he shouldn't have gone into the ring. There have been boxers with way worse events to overcome... Willie Pep survived a plane crash, Max Baer and Ray Mancini killed other boxers and climbed back into the ring and thrived. Poor AJ.....had to make millions tonight boo hoo. No, zero compassion from me.

    Hrgovic stops him quicker than he stopped Allen. In the 1st round....

    I don't think it matters. He's fighting Fury next and I don't see AJ pulling it off after tonight, and that's even factoring in concerns I had for Fury leading up to this.

    I think Hrgovic is still fresher at this point and has a better chin than Joshua; I’d pick him to win by decision or late TKO...

    Let's not forget that not only did Dubois spark AJ out on his face 2 fights ago but last time out Jake cracked him with a couple of flush hands too and Jake's right hand is the fifth horse of the apocalypse. I firmly believe those right hands ruined AJ's punch resistance and took a lot more out of him than the Dubois KO did

    Getting up from that knockdown in the Klit fight showed he had heart. What's gone now is both his chin and his basic boxing ability.

    Some jammy sod will be laughing if he picked AJ to win after being knocked down

    Joshua always seems cold in the first round, and anyone with a bit of power that can get him going backwards has a decent chance. Think peak Fury would have beaten peak Joshua but I don't know if that has any relevance whatsoever now.

    I'm not exactly keen on Joshua vs. Fury, seeing as both of them are past their prime; the fight will sell well, and that's about it...
