    It was a great night for AJ in more than one regard

    He stopped Wallin who gave bitter rival Belly one of his toughest fights

    The Dosser didn't just lose he got schooled with ease by former AJ victim J-Park so the AJ vs Dosser debate is all but over

    He likely booked himself a vacant title shot against Hrgovic

    And bitter rival Big Baby got stopped

    It was a great night for King Usyk too

    You’re just as delusional as Wilder, who’s been doing yes man interviews talking about how happy AJ and Hearn are that the fight fell threw. We should be pointing fingers at Wilder for throwing 4 punches against a guy AJ beat years ago. He ducked AJ a while back and it’s his fault again why the match isn’t happening. If you ask me, Wilder’s the one who looked oddly happy during the post fight interview with his goodbye speech.

    Remind us, why didn’t Fury make it to the Ngannou post fight presser?

    Was it the same reason he ducked the Dec 23rd fight date?

    Hands down the most I’ve laughed during a boxing event (minus the robbery of Ngannou). Just thinking about how livid the Furyettes would be, along with the Wilder cucks who’d made every excuse under the sun for his previous losses.

    To see them both embarrassed on the same night by ‘the bodybuilder’ was glorious.

    I'm a Wilder hater with all his BS excuses and wanting a body on his slate crap but, I've also gone a bit cold on AJ with all his media persona crap. The week of Wallin fight revealed a bit more of the real AJ at long last so I'm all for him going for the vacant IBF, kind of makes sense really.

    Get through Hrgovic and then either target undisputed and then a voluntary against Wilder or go straight to a voluntary against Wilder. It's a win, win, win, win and all at a steadily diminishing level of risk. No wonder Earn is smiling!

    Who the **** cares? Its Wilder's Mistake that He run Away from Joshua, Povetkin, Klitschko brothers, Parker, Ruiz, Whyte, Hrgovic, Zhang, Usyk, Chisora, Rivas, Sanchez, Joyce etc. all day long. Wilder has to act like a man ...... And deserve big fights. If by the time is 45 .... Who cares? Hahahhahahahaha jjajajjaahahahahagagaag

    The bodybuilder was relieved when Parker did the impossible. Because it would have meant the bomb squad would have went back stage and forced Joshua to sign that contract! Don't count Deontay out just yet! Just 2 more years!

    Eddie Hearn is a snake oil salesman he doesn't want to lose his golden goose now that his only other draw (Conor Benn) produced some dodgy eggs.

    He also does a great job convincing casuals he knows the sport inside out, yet in reality the "hardcores" are just boxing fans with a degree of common sense who can clearly see that he's a charlatan. He's the Donald Trump of boxing without his daddy bailing him out he would crumble.

    You mean when Trump was putting on all those big fights in Atlantic City back in the 80s an 90s? Was he ripping off the fighters back then?

    To be fair to Trump his endeavour of boxing was a success, however he managed to bankrupt multiple casinos and I was always taught from a very young age that the house always wins, well obviously not in the case of Donald Trump run casinos.

    He's smiling as his boxer impressed and dealt with his opponent with.

    Now likely will fight back in Saudi, for a lot money and possibly for a world title.
