The 20-1 odds in favor of AJ were the most ridiculous odds since Mayweather only being 4-1 against McGregor. It should have been reversed: 4-1 Joshua and 20-1 Mayweather (or really, 100-1 Mayweather, let's be realistic)

Right. So I presume you bet then? :lol:

Reviewing it once more last night; that was a ridiculously long time for HWs to be standing around for pointless sh!t before the fight. That is not an excuse for AJ, just an observation and criticism of the event.

A person could have taken a decent nap between the time the boxers arrived in the ring and the fight finally, mercifully began. :zzz:

It's always like that now in the big fights. I wish they'd go back to the old fashioned way and eliminate the fancy show biz ring walks and the national anthems too.

They were 50-1 and then they changed quickly before the fight. It's always suspicious when the odds do that. Did the wise guys know something? Could oddly lethargic Joshua before the fight and bizarrely happy Joshua after the fight and puzzled look on his face throughout the fight Joshua have been drugged? It would hardly be the first time in Honest Boxing that something like that happened.

Do you employ someone to taste your food before you eat it, Ilya? :D

Of course. I have two regular food tasters, or I should say had. Two openings now. It's really quite a good position. You get to taste the most delicious cuisines, pheasants stuffed with ducks stuffed with pigeons stuffed with chestnuts and rare spices from the orient and the like, my daily fare. Do you wish to apply?

Thanks but no thanks. Birds inside birds inside birds eh? That's got to be a Russian dish. What do you call it - Babushka birds? I'm not a big fan of game-birds ... at least not the ones that have a fowl taste. ;-)

Yes, babushka birds. Often we take some extra steps and stuff the pigeons with sparrows and the sparrows with hummingbirds and the hummingbirds with truffles and caviar. It's a very common dish in Russia, like hot dogs here.
