so the aj numbers ain't really a flex

he's supposed to do those numbers

behind premier league footballers the most backed sporting stars on that side of the pond are in the ring

simple math

*

Boxing really ain't promoted like that in the uk. If you go to the sport page of the main uk broadcaster Home - BBC Sport they don't even have a prominent link to their boxing section. Sure, today AJ is on the sports page because he's a famous guy in the uk but you can't really think boxing is second to the premier league when there's links to F1, rugby, cricket, tennis, golf and athletics but no link to boxing.

Then if you go to the actual boxing page they still have prominent stories about the groves/eubank fight from two months ago. If boxing was mainstream like that don't you think they'd have updated the boxing section since feb?

The number two tv channel mentions boxing even less Sport - ITV News

I noticed this as well, bar football the BBC only really cares about elitist upper class sports like Rugby, Cricket, Rowing, Equestrian etc.

wasn't surprised by this result
as I wrote earlier somewhere in this thread I thought AJ might stop him late but could easily imagine that this will be his first fight which goes full due to Parker's durability.
My opinion on AJ vs Wilder hasn't changed because of this fight, with Wilder vs Ortiz it changed a little I started to give Wilder more chance than before dues to him showing some chin and heart but overall still picking AJ. From this fight I haven't learned much news about Joshua. His stamina was alright yesterday but the pace wasn't the fastest either...

Wilder can knock him out or Joshua can grind him down. If I'd bet I'd put my money on the latter one.

people on the internet who had Parker are tripping, he was far from winning that even if the 119-109 too wide. I had Joshua 117-111


Povetkin looked old to me but as we pretty much all expected, his current game was still enough to KO Price. Would have liked if he gets beaten though and he got caught once but it is what it is...

Wilder will fukk Joshua up, AJ is nowhere near skilled or smart enough to take advantage of Wilder's deficiencies as a boxer and he's certainly not a good enough defensive boxer to avoid that right hand from hell for a full 12 rounds, nor does he have the chin to take a clean hit from it. Never understood why people were hyping him up as some pugilistic prodigy compared to Wilder by barely surviving against geriatric Wladimir in his 40s; any slight difference in their boxing fundamentals and IQ that might favor AJ (and if there is one it is very slight) is completely irrelevant in the face of Deontay's athleticism, reach, and colossal power advantage.

It should be an entertaining fight but AJ will get slept violently if it does actually go down. Hope it finally does and HW boxing can the kind of big mega attraction superstar fight that it needs after so long.

oh and this ref was horrible, I don't wanna see him ever again

Every damn time a fight on the inside could ensue this fukking guy stepped in and broke the action. Not only when they were totally tied up but also when they had one arm free. I hate referees who feel they should be in the lime light and not the fighters. It's not your show, let them fight.

Wilder has the hardest punch in the business ....genuine one punch knockout power, but hes awful at everything else

AJ beats Wilder all day every day

you want to know how to measure your right hand? you measure your right hand with your jab.

throw a jab.

the gap from the end of your jab to the head is what you add on to your right hand.

thats why you get your jab going.

you got to understand, he hits you with those right hands, cause he measures you with those jabs. he has a good right hand, cause he has a good jab.

Tough to tell from this fight on Wilder vs Joshua.

Parker has skill and good head movement but little activity in this fight.

Wilder is there to hit but so is Joshua. Joshua has better footwork/balance Wilder more power.

50/50. I could see this bytch being a stinker :yeshrug:

what wilder fight has been a stinker lmao, impossible with his style

Wilder has better defense than Ortiz, he should it in the Ortiz fight, his head movement and his ability to roll punches was unlike any other heavyweight
Ortiz is a great counter puncher and he could only land a big shot when Wilder got aggressive because he hurt him

Joshua does not have the power to KO wilder that is evident after this fight, Parker is one of the smaller heavyweights he would get killed by Wilder
Klistcho has a glass chin and he went life and death with him, he doesn't have great power for a heavyweight

Joshua has zero chance to beat wilder which is why they will continue to avoid the fight, they will fight big baby miller before Wilder, Hearn won't allow the fight until Joshua loses to someone else and he cashes him out.

Wilder is not some once in a lifetime heavyweight. He beat Steverne who at best is medicore and Ortiz who is good but probably 5 years older than listed. Good win though.Wilder defense is ass man. His balance is awful and he throws punches from the ground. Still he's fun to watch.

He can't even clinch. He has a phenomenal chin though.

I do not hate Wilder but saying this is some mismatch is crazy on both sides.

Joshua had an opponent in front of him who pretty much did nothing but still didn't embarrass himself.

Please do not act like this is Lennox Lewis vs Grant.

What the fukk are you talking about

Wilder is the best heavyweight of this era, so yes he is one of the best heavyweights of all time, because he is the best of this time

bum ass nikkaz don't know shyt about sports

When did I say he was the greatest ever because i can easily beat Joshua lmao, Joshua ain't shyt, he is overrated

Wlad got a glass jaw, he avoided wilder because he would've gotten hurt bad, and Aj went life and death with him

Ortiz is the best heavyweight Wilder could possible fight and he KO'd, AJ ducked him when he was his mandatory, clearly avoided him

Parker is trash, he got a paper belt, and 3 fights on his record he really should've lost, the guy is trash, Wilder already beat the best guy in the division for him to fight

AJ is scared, hearn is scared, they know the out come

I doN't wanna sound like one of those scorn old heads who hate everything what's new (well I am young myself) but I do think the likes of prime Tyson (whatever what you tell me about his resume), prime Klitschkos, Lewis, Holyfield, etc... would all kick the ass of both Wilder and Joshua

No offense to Joshua and Wilder cause they are entertaining champions and a fight between them gonna be fascinating, the winner of it probably be featured on every P4P lists and you can argue that these comparisons are unfair but at this point I really feel that :ld: I don't think that any of them would be the exceptional athlete of their generation.

Crawford, Loma, Spence and some others who I see the exceptional athletes of this generation (they need to further prove it of course but when it's all said and done...) and not really Joshua or Wilder

IMO AJ seems to not be as effective against smaller fighters. Takam is around 6'2, ofc he won the fight and landed plenty of shots but he wasn't able to dominate how he had done prior to that fight.

Parker the same he's 6'4 and it made him fight a different fight. AJ's most dominant performances have always been against guys that are in the 6'5'-6'8 range.

Based on that you could argue that Povetkin would be a more dangerous fight than Wilder.

nah Povetkin looked old, he is ripe for the picking imo
His KO was nice, no doubt but doN't forget it was Price in with him
