It was a great result, deserves to be praised for deserving it regardless of Wladimir's age / hunger.
Not buying the hype about him as being suddenly a cut above the crowd though. He's learnt to use his size really well, but still a but clumsy and nothing special in the power stakes.

Re: Fury v Joshua - Summer 2016
Once AJ gets to a position to challenge he will win, whether it's summer or more likely 2017. The difference in talent and performances at similar stages in their career is absolutely vast. I love how much Fury has improved through his career and the win on sunday, but lets be realistic, he's not su...

What bullshit.Finn wrote: That seems to be the Anthony Joshua match room blue print make the public believe you are a destroyer when you haven't faced people who can take a punch. In terms of status with the general fans it works well. It's even being used with kel brook at the moment.

Re: Anthony Joshua's opponents in 2016
Honestly I'd agree Chisora would be a pointless one, mainly due to the style. Del Boy can't get through that range and jab, and we know at this point in his career his head will go down and it will be over. The records and the names isn't the be all and end all.

Re: What's next for Joseph Parker?
Parker does look like another David Price to me. I was surprised in the Meehan fight how open he was and so many wide punches. Doubt this kid gets to be a genuine world title challenger. He's a talent level below Joshua.

Re: What's next for Joseph Parker?
Sorry but wake me up when he fights someone who hasn't been stopped before, or even better has a recent notable win. Beating a 45 year old Kali Meehan is meaningless.
Everyone he's fought has been stopped before and not even at world level. Still big questions to ask about this kid.

Re: santa cruz is gonna wreck Selby
Selby is flawed, but seems a lot stronger playing on the counter, so being an underdog would suit him better.
Santa Cruz I'm still not sure about.

I see Eubank Jr has joined up with Adam Booth, needs a first fight like this with a new trainer. Booth is a great fit for him.

Re: Helenius The Nordic Nightmare Is Back!
:lol: Yes, yes he did show signs of injury, and had surgery following. I'd say Chisora was lucky, but seeing as how his "moral victory" over the injured Helenius led to him getting his ass kicked by every good fighter he went on to face, I'm not sure how lucky it really was. Healthy Helen...

Re: Fitzpatrick lifts the lid on Groves defeat aftermath
Fair comments from Fitzpatrick, although a little bit throwing Groves under the bus.
Leaving Booth was a mistake, and if had to he really needed a more experienced guy who had been in charge of a top fighter before.

A real disappointment as Degale - Groves for two world titles would have been a great night. Can't complain though, put down hard and just out finessed. I make that five fights with Fitzpatrick, 3 losses and 2 wins that were poor. Just not working out. Obviously a big part of that is simply finding ...

Re: London O2 Sept 12th RBR
Whyte saying he had an injured left shoulder, probably will be a good excuse to use again in December when he gets beat. Literally puncher's chance only for him against Joshua. Do still think he can be a better version of Chisora though, that raw strength will carry him past most fighters.

Harsh booing, Minto took some hard shots and that last one was right on the ear. Whyte looked sloppy as anything, but his brute force is impressive.
