    Personally I didn't find the Ortiz win all that impressive, I actually thought he'd be a fairly easy win for Wilder but a couple of points, 1) ortiz didnt REALLY put a beating on Wilder it looked dramatic but if you look back he didn't really land much, 90% of the shots missed or were blocked. 2) I thought Wilder benefitted seriously from Ortiz gassing, which as a 39 year old who isnt athletic was a dot on the cards. I saw him gulping air in the corner before the stoppage round and knew he was a goner.

    A decent win but still left questions for me.

    You gotta admit he handled the "superior" fracas well. I dont think he has ever been questioned about it by the Media in any way shape or form. He Literally went onto Graham Nortons show and described Meghan Markle as "one of the sisters". This was only 2 months after the Instagram BS. Then 2 Months later after he beats Parker he talks about "unity and people coming from different backgrounds for the love of their sport" on his post match interview. Suspiscous as hell, slick Eddie at work...

    You're forgetting Wilder got shaked too the boots by Ortiz who didnt even land clean. If Joshua lands cleanly, Wilder is gone. I want Deontay to win and knock Femi out cold, so i could see the look on Hearn's Face and it would be a massive rematch in America, however people forget, AJ only got Knocked down by Klitschko after he gassed out by throwing too many combinations. Klitschko survived the Joshua attack, will Wilder ? Judging by the Ortiz and Molina evidence, i dont think he will ? His weight and overall build/size could hinder his punch durability.

    By showing up to the fight and throwing a punch.

    Joshua has beaten Klitschko, Martin, Parker, and Whyte.

    Wilder has beaten a couple of fat ****s, a schoolteacher, a pastry chef, a chinny cruiser, and a guy who was only medically cleared the day before the fight.

    Wilder really has one particularly useful tool and it's an absolute equaliser. Of course, it's his right hand. I actually don't think AJ hits any harder than Ortiz and he isn't as calculated a boxer either. He is a little faster and will likely look to take more risks I would think, so he needs to make sure he remains tight when on the defensive (he has a horrible habit of bringing that jab back lazily).

    If he does get Wilder hurt which I suspect he will, he can't let him off the hook like Ortiz did. By the same token. if he spends a round blowing out his arse like he did against Wlad then there's no way Wilder isn't getting him out of there.

    AJ isn't a complicated boxer but he is effective enough. I think a similar strategy to the Parker fight is his best bet. He's much technically better than Wilder and he needs to make that show. It's a closer fight than I once thought it was, maybe 60-40 in AJ's favour.

    Similar to the mass Islamic child abuse epidemic sweeping the UK, the racist drug dealing Tony Dosh protected well be the establishment and will no doubt be Sir Tony Dosh one day for his services to drug addicts.

    Some of these PPV mugs would pay £20 to smell one of his farts

    Have to say im surprised people saying he should fight the same way he did against parker. I thought he was poor in that fight and fortunate to get away with it

    Not that there's anything wrong with a backfoot style but if you are gonna base your style around a jab it better be ramrod and there better be a right hand behind it.

    Joshua just needs to play wilder at his own game. Throwing punches...leaning back. Dont fall in...Joshua doesnt have to anyway. The secret is to cut the ring off trap wilder in the corner.

    Joshuas normal punches are thudding anyway. Don't overcomit unless the opportunity opens itself up. Wilder will spend half the night running for his life.

    Wilder fights the same way...always ready to get out of there. Always just trying to stay out of range. Sticks his jab out just trying to stay out of range ready to get out if the opponent goes forward. Waiting to stick the right hand in when the chance comes. Hes actually quite skilled at it but its relying on the opponent being the smaller reached fighter.

    Hell have big problems when he cant just stay out of range cause Joshua's as big as him. Joshua just needs to not over committ to his punches. He,ll still catch wilder with something. That will set the ball rolling.

    Wilder won't over commit himself. He,s a runner. Joshua just needs to walk him down and not overcomitt.

    Pressure fighter will give Joshua problems. A runner wont so much. That right hand of wilders will have to travel a lot further than it usually does against the smaller reached opponents. It won't be quite as effective. Wouldn't surprise me if we dont really see him throwing it much.
