Let's hope Ortiz can fight him anyway!

Hearn paid Pulev to report an injured shoulder because AJ is too afraid to fight him. See how ridiculous this sounds.

Takam would be a good opponent, at least it is not someone like shot Arreola

Joshua is such a coward.

If true then this would mean Joshua and his team can somehow find a Top 10 guy to fight on less than 2 weeks notice, but Wilder's team can't find one to fight in 2 and a half years...and yet fans are too hard on him, and he's really trying hard to fight the best

He's the best promoter by a good bit.

Takem will not go the distance like he did with Parker...

who goes the distance with aj?

i think hell last longer than pulev wouldve though.

for me only Povetkin could have decent chances to went distance vs AJ but i think that even he most likely gets stopped

A few weeks ago i fancied Ortiz to beat Wilder and Pulev to beat AJ.

Now Wilder has no opponent and Joshua is fighting Povetkin & Parker fodder.

pulev had nothing for joshua.

cant punch, chin straight up, nearly kod in one by wlad. wouldve been easy work. a pesky jab that works at euro title level is hardly gonna unravel aj.

If you're wealthy, I'd love to become a betting opponent of yours.

Where is x2x? He knows I'm right that is the doing of Wilder.

Pulev never wanted this fight. Good example of why I don't make my PTBF picks until day of most times.

Well done to Carlos Takam for taking the fight on such short notice and saving the main event, but I can't help think it's too short notice for the fight to be competitive.

I see the bout ending early and Takam's lack of training to show if he hasn't been preparing prior to the announcement.

obviously Haymon undermined this fight.

Hearn probably sensed The Pulev Pullout and had Takam training. Pulev stunk like a certain Scot's ripe leads.

Shh. I don't you to get in trouble. Wilder has a Kim Jong like grip on us here in the US. You might get 15 years hard labor.

I voted for Ted Cruz, I'm good.

Ha, well said and lets hope so. If Takam has been training I could see it going into the middle rounds but I don't think it'll go the distance.

Hearn said when the Pulev fight was announced. He knew Takam was next in line, so he contacted his camp and told them to train and be on standby.

I voted for Trump and Hillary but didn't do it illegally.

Since this is a mandatory, Hearn already had a pre-made deal done with Takam incase Pulev pulled out. This way Joshua gets the IBF mandatory done and doesn't have to worry about it again.

For Pulev to pull out on a fake, Hearn would have to pay him basically his purse which is ridiculous.
