    I give this card a C+ overall.

    1. The main event itself was not too bad and there was some action but i didn't like the stoppage which killed it for me. Plus Takam's style made it difficult for Joshua to look good and get some big shots in.
    2. The co-main event, Whyte vs Helenius was a bore and disappointing. Helenius obviously didn't come to win by the looks of it and Whyte didn't make a statement victory, which disappointed me. I was hoping Whyte would stop Helenius at some point.
    I've come to realize that Whyte doesn't have much pop in his shots. I don't see him beating Wilder and with his underwhelming performance, I could see Wilder more inclined to take on Whyte, possibly.
    3. The Katie Taylor fight had some nice action, maybe the best action of the main undercard fights.
    4. The Kal Yafai fight was a bore and plus his opponent made him look boring and feather fisted. This was the boring fight on the undercard imo.

    Overall, most of the fights were stinkers and disappointing. Is it me or did the Joshua/Takam fight didn't seem as exciting or dramatic as Joshua/Klitschko?
