Wilder vs Joshua, March 9th in Saudi

Good news lets hope they both take care of business next week.

 

Good they will not take a long time off before the fight.

March 9th is just three months away.

The odds of both of them winning probably are around 50% combined. Here's hoping it happens but by no means is it a certainty.

 

Promising news, but in 3 months seems optimistic

Let's assume that Joshua beats Wallins, and Wilder beats Parker.
Given Wallins approach to fights I don't see him doing much damage even if it goes 12.
I would be a bit worried how much damage Wilder would take if his fight against Parker goes 12.

 

Helenius Wallin and Wilder within 7 months.

Not too bad at all. Let’s hope they both win

 

Treating this as nothing more than a mirage in the desert as this stage.

The skeptic in me sees this as convenient propaganda to help assist sales of the Dec 23rd card.

 

Massive if it happens, I just want to see the arguments put to rest. If they get through their next fights and the March 7th date happens, I see Wilder winning by spectacular KO.

 

Wilder will kill Joshua, I can’t see what Joshua could do. Wilder will catch him at least once.

 

I'm not sure it really puts the arguments to rest regardless of what happens - it's way past the time when it should've happened.

I'm not convinced it happens even if they both win on the 23rd anyway - call me cynical if you like, but it's been dodged far too long for me to trust that it'll happen now.

 

I just don't think AJ can avoid Wilder's right hand nor take it.

 

Me too.

 

That's the common view and I share it as well. But will the fight ever happen? I still doubt it.

 

One concern I have about promoting AJ-Wilder three months out.
Do Wallin or Parker have to T/KO or wide decision their respective opponents to get a W? Hardly an unusual state of affairs in this sport.

At this point I'm also skeptical if it ever happens.
