Hey Doofus, I've missed you. Wasn't AJ's performance great last night?
He looked sharp. It’s a shame he didn’t have the confidence to fight for the WBC title 3 months ago.
Hopefully this win will help him in his quest to pick up another vacant belt.
Fight Fury? He's too busy getting decked by kickboxers.
Although Fury has never spat his gum shield out.

One of Fury's biggest problems...never spitting anything out.

I'm pretty sure the gumshield came out when he went back to the corner after being knocked down by a guy making his debut.

Controversial wrote: 24 Dec 2023, 05:22 He looks like a fighter with no confidence. Not sure if the Fury fights ruined him, he’s been too inactive, age is creeping up on him, injuries or a combination of them all but he looked shot. No tough talking or Bomb Squad antics and sounded like he didn’t care he lost either. Maybe too rich and comfortable now. So what do you see him doing next?
What’s next will be a KO loss to Joshua at a reduced pay rate followed by retirement.

He’s been down too many times, but he’s never spat it out and quit.

I couldnt care less if I ever see wilder again - said for years he was total turd with no actual boxing ability just a whipping punch that got him outta jail .

He should quit boxing full stop. He just got embarrassed by a cage fighter. If he actually does fight Usyk in February and doesn't get 'injured', the Ukrainian will beat him with ease.

Retirement would be the smart move.

A combination of age, the man is 38, the damage he took in the three Fury fights and finally inactivity, have ended Wilder.

I think he is in a good place mentally and will carry on as has plenty of earning potential. So many fights he can take.

I suspect it will be all down hill from here. Better to retire on your own terms than boxing's, which as we have seen so many times before, can be extremely cruel.

Add taking Class A drugs to the combination.

Sounds like a description of Fury (apart from the age 35/38).

He's now saying AJ would have retired if he had won as AJ doesn't want to fight him, despite AJ signing an agreement to do so. Took way too many licks of Fury, needs to pack it in.
