    Glad for big Parker, what a warrior.

    2 excellent wins in a row for him.

    Quite like Joshua, but every time he opens his mouth and gets remotely philosophical, I can’t help but want to see him knocked out :giggle1:

    * both fighter look shattered and not even thrown a punch yet ridiculous the amount of time it’s took fronstart of undercard to this point. Because of stupid ad breaks and time between fights

    Was surprised how many people I heard say that Nganou would beat Joshua tonight.

    I think Fury deliberately created an unnecessary spectacle to keep the money coming in on the back of the YouTube crossover fights.


    Boxer vs cage fighter. Not on the same level. Aye Nganou is a big powerful fella but it's a whole different sport.

    Christ that’s an absolute embarrassment of a performance.

    Didn't see that coming, neither did Ngannou by the looks of it

    It honestly wasn’t. People just had massively overinflated opinion of Ngannou’s ability at this level because of his last fight.

    Ngannou looked sharp. It’s just a mismatch.

    Not even an argument. No way he should’ve been allowed to continue .

    He didn’t even want to continue imo.

    That's power and annihilation there. Glad he's up.

    Gotta be Fury next.

    Yeah sadly too many people made too much of the Fury debacle.

    Joshua annoys me though, it's almost like he had a bet against himself to not throw any punches against Usyk, especially in the first fight they had.

    Joshua certainly didn't take this fight lightly at all.

    Fair enough, but it’s a brass neck for the guy.

    All the fanfare and build up only to be completed leathered in two rounds. Just loses any credibility he had.

    I know AJ was fighting a cage fighter but that was a devastating knock out man.

    Fury will dodge like * now if he beats usyk he retires he’s a big guy and I think big guys suit Joshua
    He’d kill him … fury has no power in his arms evidently

    Horrible decision to fight AJ n his corner has to throw the towel in if the ref doesn’t stop it. The pullback counter ko’s an elephant
