David Price please retire 

 

ryan Burnett did well but his hand was an issue 

 

Joshua did what he had to do , actually now I have slept on it I was very impressed overall how he dictated with his jab and kept things moving , he was actually quite professional and the 12 rounds will stand him in good stead for the future , I would be very sure now an AJ/Fury fight would be terribly boring , and an AJ/Wilder fight would be terribly dangerous and exciting 

 

all this Fury talk is a little boring me included , we forget the borefests that Fury dished up in the past even his boxing master class against Wlad was quite unexciting 

 

fury will talk himself into a 50m pay day with Joshua , but Joshua will beat him 

 

joshua is improving he has that Lenox Lewis feel to him , people need to look back at the Lewis v Tua fight and see the similarities , infact strangely Tua and Parker have the same coach Kevin Barry 

 

im a convert this morning , I saw something new from AJ and if we keep seeing something new we will have a very very special fighter on our hands 

 

he is 28 I think he has a projection to be out by 35 , so we need to enjoy him 

 

Parker will come again he is the 3rd or 4th best heavy weight at moment and he is the youngest of those 

 

Joshua has a new fan

Wilder beats Joshua IMO.

Quite possibly , totally unconventional and dangerous fighter , but he could get sparked out as well by AJ 

 

much better fight than any Fury/AJ fight 

[STEVIE B]

Joshua, very professional and cautious performance. Parker, very game but limited. Joshua v Wilder is a 50/50 fight as l see it. As previously said l don’t get the hype with Fury. He beat Klitschko in a dull fight, that has somehow propelled him as the mutts nuts and saviour of the heavyweight division.

yep.

Wilder is crap but he obviously stands a chance as he might land one on Joshua. 

 

It's a bit embarrasing everyone is creaming over this heavyweight era, it's dogshit. Hearn is a marketing genius to get people excited over this.

To be fair it’s 20 years since it was last as exciting as this , and we are all desperate for a competitive division  , it is what it is , but lots of exciting fights to happen , which we couldn’t say 10 years ago , I like Eddie he has done an amazing job , the guy is a showman and he loves to put on a show

Fury has a case of the Adrien Silva syndrome.

 

He's a world beater when he's not playing.

as I’ve said before it’s easy to do as it’s much better than the one that’s come before it. I don’t think it’s that bad, not exactly an era to rival the two golden ages but a more than serviceable watch at a time where there are a lot of great fighters in lower weight divisions to help carry it. Mind you if Parker really is the third fourth best heavyweight that’s a depressing thought, hope I never have to watch him again.

 

I agree with Psuedo Gaelic boring fight but I thought he was good for his ten Round win in a dominant display, he’s  actually starting to look like a boxer instead of brawler, maybe the realisation of the Wlad fight has made his camp review their approach.

 

Povetkin belting David price into next week exactly what Hearn wanted as well makes his job hyping the next Joshua miss match much easier.

Tough fight for Joshua winning on points, shame he couldn't land the knockout blow. But he needed a tough fight to keep him a bit grounded. wilder will be an even tougher fight for him if it happens. It would be great to have a British heavyweight with all four major belts.

I’m not sure Wilder is a tough fight , it’s a challenge but there is so many flaws in wilders technique a pugalist would school him 

 

last night I saw enough of AJ to suggest he will have no issues to out Box wilder , BUT if he gets drawn into a slug fest then it’s a tough fight for him 

 

rob McCracken is the most underrated coach of the last 1/4 of a century , he is starting to mould a pugilist which is what Pabs has pointed out above is off the back of the klitshco fight. 

 

I think Joshua has to go to America to silence his detractors and rise up a new level of PPV , I think the Potvetkin fight will be in Vegas and will allow the PPV gravy train to continue and thus make sure the wilder fight is massive PPV numbers both side of Atlantic 

 

I’ll go to Vegas when he goes , I was lucky enough to see Hatton and Calzaghe in Vegas and those three amazing trips 

 

he will beat wilder and he will have a mandatory early next year before Fury in summer 2019 at Wembley

The most exciting fight for fight fans would be Joshua v Whyte II. When two fighters don’t actually like each other it normally makes for a better spectacle. Joshua v Wilder will be boring too imo. Get Whyte over to beat Wilder then unify against Joshua or just put Whyte back in with joshua. 

 

Last night was boring. It’s all well and good showing his boxing skills and being tactically good with his jab, but for 12 rounds it gets dull. The ref was far too eager to step in, didn’t give them a chance to go hell for leather at each other.

disgusting comment to make. From a man desperate to be a lot more relevant than he is.

Ref, who I blelieve was Howard Foster from my hazen drunken memory, was dire. Odd if I’m correct as he’s a very seasoned ref.

It was some Italian sounding bloke, his first big fight by the sounds of it.

Joshua and Whyte actually are good mates now , Eddie has them on a leash and Whyte is knocking off a cousin of Joshua’s GF , all good in that camp now , the boys know it’s good business to play the beef , it’s just play beef now

7 world title fights and 90 pro fights yet he was totally against engaging , he is Italian and the envelope was paid I’m sure , but AJ was winning no matter what 

 

he just made the fight frustrating , even in the stadium last night everyone was booing the ref after 3 rounds

This is true. And the ridiculous build up to a rematch between the two will all be false.

Howard was the English judge on the the AJ fight

Yep he did ref povetkin price as well.

 

thinking about it they insisted on neutral officiating so obviously wouldn’t be foster in the middle  

[the fox]

Not reading too much into the wilder comments. he's maybe trying to hype himself up or get the acknowledgment from the tough guys he knows (and i'm not talking about boxers). "catching bodies" is a big thing in the "hood" and is celebrated as a mark of a "true man" or an og. There are a lot of Boxers who go there to kill. ain't no sugarcoating it. He's just one of the few to go out there and say it.

2 things I really notice about Joshua.

 

1- his body goes a little stiff after a few consecutive combos. So a guy with GGG level chin and fast heavy hands can go there and brawl it out. (it's way easier said than done)

 

2- Him leaving his chin exposed a few times against Parker while he was leaning forward will get him flattened by a lucky heavy uppercut.
