Anthony Joshua vs. Dillian Whyte - December 12th 2015

[Batley18]

AJ without breaking a sweat. Eddie wouldn't have made the fight if Whyte was a real threat. Why derail the AJ gravy train when the casual fans are lapping up the early stoppages?

Two words.

AJ should win this quite easy. The only problem is, AJ has faced rather week opponents. In fact, if you put all of his opponents together you'd probably have a nice house built. So Whyte has a small chance.

Whyte needs to come out fast and try and catch AJ off guard. This fight wont go more than 3 rounds whoever wins it.

Are we saying that Joshua is the second coming of Willie Pep? We've not seem him in with a live enough opponent to guage how he reacts when under fire.

I've not seen enough of Whyte to make a prediction, but at this stage, a big puncher could well provide a shock outcome, it's very early in Joshua's career.

I havent gambled on anything other than the lottery for a very long time but would be very tempted to put a fiver on rd 1 and a fiver on rd 2, or maybe a tenner on the first 3 rounds, wont go any longer than 3. Oh, thats for AJ by the way

You wouldn't see much return.

Hearn reckons at least 3, maybe 4 of Brook, Mitchell, Campbell, Quigg, and Bellew will be on the card.

Brook seems impossible unless he gets Chaves out of there very early.

If 3 of the others are on there in good fights then fair play.

[Nightmare Roy]

Will it be free or PPV?

[rio]

How about mitchell vs Campbell? And it will defo be PPV he just has not announced it yet

[jamiem26]

Reckon it will be PPV but if the card ends up similar to May 30th I don't think there can be too many complaints.

[Counter-puncher]

Will it be free or PPV?

You need to ask?

[JimJim2009]

Will it be free or PPV?

It's ppv.

[ILikeBeer]

Is he fighting Anthony Joshua?

[funso banjo baby]

its a shame that almost no effort is made to build up domestic fights anymore

either way, Joshua takes this no problem

[Sklar]

If this is PPV, why would anyone who is not a footy/cricket fan aswell bother with Sky Sports?

[Syntax Error]

I've just been told that they did 10,000 tickets in less than an hour.

Everybody loves AJ. If he stays undefeated I can see him selling out Wembley for a world title shot in H1 2017.

Joshua is a promoter's dream.

He's nice bloke that appeals across the board & he punches like a mule kick; knocks people out quickly, so his performances attract the attention of casual fans which are essential for the sport, plus he looks like a God!

I also have no doubt he'd sell out Wembley for a title shot if he carries on like he is doing now.

[JC]

Wlad says he might come and watch.

Any news on the undercard fights?

[Noxy]

It's hard to go against AJ, he's hardly put a punch wrong since he went pro. Although if the odds are 10-1, Dillian has to be worth a punt. He's a big up-and-coming bloke who can whack.

Joshua is not a nice bloke.

Why? Coz he got nicked with an once of weed.

[Horse]

Why? Coz he got nicked with an once of weed.

He's a bad man.

Smiling for the camera doesn't make him a nice guy.

I think every top tier fighter has a nasty side to them but I want to know why he's so bad?
