    Would like AJ to lose as well tonight...

    All that Saudi money going on to back two losers where both fighters heads just don't seem like they're in the game anymore.

    Problem is I reckon in reality AJ wins but maybe comes out of it with more questions than answers

    It was truly disgusting the scores in his last fight. He got his * handed to him and I hope it comes back round tonight

    That's as good as Joshua has looked in a long time

    Joshua carries too much heavy weight muscle to throw combos to finish a fight after setting up a ko

    Looked like they were all going through the motions enjoying their big Saudi Xmas pay packet.

    That’s the same Wilder that would knock out Joshua in 2 rounds apparently :56:

    Let’s not pretend that he’s suddenly over the hill. That’s the same Wilder that he’s always been. He’s just never beaten a decent heavyweight that can move.

    Campaigned for the Fury fight when he was coming off a 2 year coke binge and was 4 months in to a comeback, and still couldn’t beat him :56:

    No I didn't but either way... don't see AJ holding a title again unless it is vacant

    Isn't the IBF sitting vacant? In fact I'm wrong, Usyk has it but is going to be stripped as he won't face his mandatory due to the fights with Fury.

    Probably looking at AJ vs Hrgovic for that next summer.

    Been saying for years that he’s massively overrated on here, mostly by Fury fans who want to make his wins over him seem better than they are. The reality is, his best career achievement is beating Luis Ortiz.

    You’ve then got Fury, whose best win aside from Wlad is Wilder (x2/3), and people genuinely holding him up as one of the greatest heavyweights ever :giggle1:

    The heavyweight scene is just a mess, and while it’s good to see Joshua emerge as a legit force again, I can’t help but hope the ballsy little cruiserweight puts them all in their place, and cements his place as a real all-time-great fighter.

    Was very clinical and brutally efficient. Not a terrible opponent either.

    The matter may be a bit of an anti-climax as far as entertainment goes, but it’s still the fight at heavyweight.

    I think Joshua will make short work of Ngannou. May see him in with Wilder in the future.

    Saw 2 doings in a matter of hours, Dolphins getting slapped about by Chiefs and Smith getting slapped about too.

    Smith tried his best but Beterbiev was far too strong for him.
