There was a good fight a few weeks ago Rodriguez vs Edwards

Thing is with Wilder he's not even 'going for the KO' he's waiting, waiting, waiting for the opportunity for a counter punch KO, he's got heart and a big punch but nothing else and doesn't like it when someone puts it on him. He's used to smashing tin cans, and it's obviously a get out of jail card he's got but very limited boxing ability.

Exactly. He barely jabbed for the first half of the fight. If you're planning on going for a big punch then you need to set it up. Jab jab, find the range, get the opponent more focused on covering up and lay it on the.....the exact way AJ did against Wallin.

AJ was professional but I was actually disappointed in Wallin. I was expecting more from him.

I can believe he's only 23 with 19 odd professional wins. He boxes like a seasoned veteran

These guys in the lower divisions dont get the hype or love, but the fights are what 5x better than heavyweight

No idea if the link will work. Wilder was deluded thinking he’d won but he has taken the defeat well.

The one massive positive from last night is Warren and Hearn working together… maybe, just maybe it will mean that the biggest fights can be made. One can dream.

That's it for me. Last night everyone worked together and got the event put together.

Another big plus is it seems like every fight night people complain about judge decision, the hometown fighter usually getting the nod. Last night the 2 fights that went to points were easy calls but the judges got them both exactly right. Taking out home advantage might result in better judge decisions.

Ultimately I very rarely go to watch boxing live. I watch it on TV. While the atmosphere could be better, it didn't really take away from my viewing experience.

I just want the big fights to happen.

He knows why he lost and he's doing his best to make it out to be a blip rather than the norm. Trying to stay in the money game for another big fight before he retires.

I think they got no choice now. Wilder has been found out as one trick, Fury has lost his edge and got badly shown up against Ngannou and AJ needs to fight big to stay in the money leagues. This time next year Fury will be spent force and the fight will be a non-entity

Or give the judges ear plugs so they're not influenced by home crowd

Think that’s a big risk from Joshua

I agree, but win and win more convincingly than fury, then that’s interesting.

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

That'll be the end of him if he loses that. Not that I know anything much about boxing. I think he'll get pulverised

Dropping like ninepins and largely all getting old at the same time. In a year or two they'll all be has beens taking novelty fights with youtubers.

Ngannou

I only saw extended highlights but Beterbiev seemed to breeze past Callum Smith.

Beterbiev vs Bivol has to happen.

Was just too heavy handed for Smith.

Beterbiev Vs Bivol would be great. Not sure Beterbiev has the ability to pin down Bivol

Tbh I don’t think it’s a big risk. Fury clearly underestimated him.

Joshua will fight on the outside for 8 rounds before getting more aggressive later on. Ngannou’s surprise factor has gone

 

[dontcallme]

Zhang vs Parker seems likely to happen on the Joshua vs Ngannou card.

Parker will make Zhang look very average

Parker will make Zhang look very average

Zhang does have an ability to get his shots off though so Parker will have to be on his his bike the whole night.
