    Joshua since fighting Wlad has been boring as ****. Wlad scared him to death and now he fights exactly like his mentor. He's not stopping Hughie.

    Fury showed he could counter punch more tonight, something he was wary to do before. But doing that to the shorter and slower Sexton is one thing, doing that to Joshua who has the bigger reach is going to be a far tougher proposition.

    Fury's movement will likely mean he can last the distance if he looks to survive. So Joshua likely wins a clear UD.

    Joshua has been boring?

    Wilder looks more exciting for 2 reasons....

    1) He has severe technical flaws.

    2) Opponents believe he is very beatable, hence they fight to win, not fight to survive.


    Takam/Parker feared Joshua's power and were reluctant to get inside the jab....
    Ortiz saw Wilder's flawed fundamentals and was outjabbing the much rangier fighter.



    Holyfield made a very good point when comparing Wilder/Joshua's wins....He said Wilder's wins were more impressive because 'every fight is a challenge'.

    That isn't a good thing......

    Winning 'ugly/boring' is an asset all the best individuals/teams have in any sport.

    Hughie will bust Joshua up all night with that triple jab. Hughie triples his jab faster than Joshua can even think to move his head.

    Hughie’s body shots were brilliant tonight too, he lands easy on Joshua.

    I see Hughie KOing an exhausted Joshua mid fight.

    Nice one Hughie. Enjoyed that.. something to build on for sure.

    Trolling aside, it's great for HWs to have Joshua to aim for. Reminds me of Tyson saying that Wlad was his Everest.

    I hope guys like Hughie do become obsessed with Joshua if it spurs them on..

    Shades of Poo soils his boxing shorts and gets stopped.

    Is over the hill British level Sexton his career best win?

    It's easy to forget the Fury is only 23.

    Needs to be more aggressive and spiteful if he wants to hang or even come close to beating the top dogs of the division..

    He's only 23, plenty of time to iron out the Chink's...

    Its not easy to forget how many fights Hughie has ducked. Wilder, AJ, Whyte and Chisora

    He will now duck Dubois and Joe Joyce and fight some Euro level bum with an inflated record, and obese Mick will claim he is "going places".

    Why would he fight Chisora who is not even in the top 10
