...how's that for a clarion roll-call?

 

Joshua is still sleeping, but AJ win on points

 

AJ IS A BUM DOSSER BODYBUILDING MANFUACTURED HYPE JOB.

 

I don't think Fisher will stop Armstrong. I think that is the most likely upset on the card to be honest.

 

Joshua early, chisora mid, hrgovic mid- late mid, Fisher early-mid.

 

Does one need to attain a certain level of prominence/respect/notoriety/post count on this forum before getting their name added to this, or is any dosser allowed entry? If the latter, I'd like to submit myself for inclusion.

 

I think Joshua and Hearn made a big mistake, I think this will be Joshua's last fight in his boxing career, it's like most people forgot Helenius' punches are thudding hard and ignore it because he doesn't have one shot power anymore.

 

I'm a little worried about Hrgovic, McKean looked determined and brave at the weigh-in while Hrgovic looked away first, or maybe it just seemed to me, in any case, McKean could be better than people expect...

 

If a sleepy Chisora shows up I wouldn't rule out a Washington points win. He's not above fumbling a match like this, especially this far into his career. Not that I have much faith in Washingtons chin and heart in this one.

 

This is my favorite kind of fight. Two glass jawed warriors going to battle, with one of their fragile mandibles surely to be shattered.

Likely to be Helenius' questionable whiskers that get exposed, but you never know in boxing!

 

Hopefully McKean is primed and ready for the task and shows that he's better than most expected like Wallin did against Fury. Hrgovic has definitely regressed in recent years, and if he's able to just sleep walk to a victory again he will probably regress further. Hoping McKean shows another level jumping up in and class and we get a competitive HW eliminator.

 

Joshuas chin is certified iron compared to this version of Helenius. Joshua isn't laying on his back for 10 counts.

 

I think Helenius passed out when Wilder knocked him out. That was a killer right.
