Froch: "Deontay Wilder Knocks Anthony Joshua Spark Out in One Round"

“Deontay Wilder knocks him spark out in one round, I’ve always said that and I still think it is true. Wilder would come out in the first round looking for AJ, who is tentative at the best of times, but he is now afraid of his own shadow these days. I think Wilder catches him with a bomb that lands on his chin and he goes down and just does not get up," Froch told the In The Zone podcast.

“Whether he can get up or not, he won’t want to. That’s the reason these two aren’t fighting now, because if that happens his career is over and the curtain comes down for good. However, if he gets his head right, he can definitely win that fight!

“He’s with Ben Davison now as his trainer, Rob McCracken should be his trainer because he would get his head right for that fight, but the respect has gone now so they will never get back together again.

“The old AJ that brawled with Dillian Whyte, knocked out Wladimir Klitschko after getting knocked down and busted up Carlos Takam after getting his nose butted can definitely win that fight and do a job there because Deontay Wilder and AJ has got the Olympic pedigree so he can go and outbox him.”

Think in there dislike of AJ people are forgetting a couple of important things .

1--- Wilder can be outboxed , and you don'nt need a great deal of talent to do it

2---- Wilder can be hurt and put on his arse .

3---- AJ can punch when he lets his hands go .

Who would win , well thats a different question and i would'nt have a clue , i'd probably say whoever lands first . Wilders the bigger hitter , AJ is the better boxer ,

Wilder’s also taken a couple of real bad losses. Those Fury fights would have taken a lot out of both of them. Fortunately for Deontay he’s mentally real strong.

Not sure on that one mentally strong or deluded , problem with guys like Wilder they make excuses for there own shortcomings , rather than try and change them look at the excuses he made with Fury , instead of sitting down and saying where did we go wrong , what do we need to do different .

He’s mentally strong because he’s so deluded. He has zero doubt that Fury cheated and that’s the only reason he lost those fights.

Anthony Joshua vs Deontay Wilder reportedly agreed for March 9th

Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder, who share a card in Riyadh on December 23rd, have reached a deal to meet on March 9th in Saudi Arabia if both men emerge victorious, according to a report from ESPN.com’s Mike Coppinger.

It is, of course, far from a given that both will win their upcoming fights.

Joshua (26-3, 23 KO) still looks to be in something of an identity crisis and is up against Otto Wallin (26-1, 14 KO), who has a proven track record of throwing wrenches into prematurely arranged matchups.

Wilder (43-2-1, 42 KO) likewise figures to have his hands full with Joseph Parker (33-3, 23 KO), who arguably has the best CV of any Wilder foe besides Tyson Fury.

Even after many years and some bad losses on both sides stripped away the luster, I'll admit to still wanting to see these two share a ring. Next to Fury vs Usyk, it remains the biggest and most lucrative fight the division has to offer.

Then again, I also love watching promoters' plans blow up in their faces, so I'm happy either way.

Finally, the HW fight of 2018 'might' take place in 2024. :doh:

To be fair, it's still a watchable fight, but it's just a shame they couldn't have done it six years ago, when it really meant something.

I think it's been a bit longer than that. I'm sure I heard AJ or Eddie say he was part of the last camp. From what I understand, the gym is close to AJ, he has friends who train there and he usually uses it between camps to stay in touch.

Nicely put :TU:
And I would add that both Wilder and Joshua have to get through Wally and Parker first. And neither is a given, especially not Wallin. And if Wilder loses to Parker, stick a fork in him because he is done.

Cheers lads.

Doesn’t bode well for his future prospects I don’t think. You can’t teach an old dog new tricks, whatever he’s looking for he won’t find it by jumping from trainer to trainer.

Individually Garcia, James and Davison all have tremendous records as trainers but clarity of thought is important and it’s hard for AJ to have that if he’s being told different things every camp

Frank W: "Joshua-Wilder is a Massive Fight, But They've Got To Deliver in Riyadh"

"The joint-main events have a lot of significance as far as boxing's concerned in as much that Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder are involved in quite tasty and tough fights and should they come through then they're going to be in a position where I believe they're going to be facing off next year," Warren said to Sky Sports.

"That's a massive, massive fight. A fight that a lot of people, certainly the fans talk about a lot. But to get there they've got to get through Saturday night in Riyadh. Get it out of the way on Saturday and all will be revealed but there's a will to make this happen and I'm quite sure everybody's going to be happy with the outcome provided these guys deliver. The most important thing for them, they've got to deliver."

"He'd have a long wait for Tyson," Warren said of AJ. "Tyson's got his fight and his programme's set out for next year and at this moment in time doesn't include Joshua.

"Joshua, he had two opportunities to fight him [Fury], one last December and this year. Those fights didn't happen for whatever reason and the situation is now that we are in a position where a number of big fights will be announced. It all depends what happens on Saturday."
