Round-by-Round: Anthony Joshua vs. Robert Helenius | DAZN - 12 August 2023

[Ruthless-RKO]

What was up with the godfather violin solo and the weird interview after ? AJ is a total idiot , I can’t believe he was once held up as a rival to Bruno re popularity.

He’s a total weirdo.

He is a strange fellow, one minute Mr T preaching to the kids next a road man. I don't think he really knows how to act, I like the violin though, that was cool. Better than listening to 10,000 bellends doing an awful rendition of Sweet Caroline.

They did sweet Caroline. But instead of showing the crowd, they were doing the pundit talks.

Yeah I heard it on the radio, dont think there is any chance of ever getting away from it now.

He comes across as fake to me. Eddie fed a great job of promoting him initially as the nans favourite.

He’s going to get in against wilder , freeze , and you know what will come next…

AJ will fight anyone*

*If you ignore the fact that he has avoided Wilder for 7 years and has turned down Fury twice in the past 9 months.

Hi Mickey.

[mickey1975]

I will give AJ credit if he faces Wilder. I can't think of any reason, other than cash, why they would let him box him. It really is a knockover job. This AJ just doesn't have anywhere near the mentality to beat him. He will be a nervous wreck at the first press conference.

[Twinkle Toes]

Not sure this new boxing approach is really working out too well, he was marked up last night and frankly he should be dispatching Helenius in a couple of rounds.

Thankfully this current crop of heavies are nearing the end, such a disappoinitng era for the division.

Ohhh bore off.

[quickeyg]

Joshua vs Helenius NEVER sold out, hence why they did not show the crowd and the lighting was extremely dark.

Sick and tired of Tony Bellew talking bol**cks, along with David Haye and Ade.

aj looks and sounds odd.

Now you know why 40 year old Helenius was picked.

Hi Mickey.

BigDoofus and Quiggeyg all say the same things that Dev Sahni says on twitter and in interviews e.g. AJ is terrible ( despite Olympic Gold medal success and winning multiple titles) and Fury vs an OAP, non boxer, is a legitimate fight etc etc. Yawn.

It was announced as being a sell out. Are you saying that Hearn is lying?

Helenius is still better than Fury's next opponent..AJ may not be as confident as he once was, but is still more confident than Fury is, hence the different calibre of their respective opposition.

Mate, he is 100% lying. They closed eight blocks. My buyers got upgraded to lower tier.

I saw lots of people on Twitter saying they’d been moved at late notice due ‘restructuring of the venue seating’ or something. Definitely wouldn’t have been a sellout.

[mickey1975]

Liam Harrison going on the offensive on socials, showing clips of last nights One Championship. Judging by the reaction, it was a terrible advert for boxing. He did say "The kid who's dad is famous for eating Chinese" did well....

I do. I go to loads. I'm pissed of with those, too. Pro boxing is generally shite.

It comes across that you want Eddie's shows to fail and Fwank's to do epically well. You telling me that's not true?

No. I'm looking forward to the Wood v Warrington card. I also go to loads more promoters than just those two.

It wasn’t a full sell out for sure. But they probably sold out all the seats they had on offer.

Can clearly see they had the stage in the way so fluently behind that was taped off and can quite clearly see the seats above the stage on the upper tier were also taped off.

It didn’t look too bad in there tbh. But there wasn’t nearly 15l-18k in there.

[Ruthless-RKO]

What was with Diamonte standing at the stage when he was announcing the boxers.

[punchoutsb]

Wilder sucks

You should show him how to do it..

Now go read the rest for the context

Boxing fans are pathetic whiney little bitches, as hilarious as boxing twitter is, I wonder why half of them even bother following the sport, credit and criticism when due but there's a vast amount of people who's first instinct when they see a fight or card announced is to moan, worst pudenda
