That was always going to happen to Smith at the weekend there, never uses his size and reach advantage. Made for Beterbiev.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Jan 2024 23:22:17
Smith irritates the life out of me. He has a height and reach advantage in all of his fights but he fights like he's the smaller guy.

How you get outjabbed by someone much smaller than you is beyond me. I know the ring was small, but fml he really should be beating people he has a 5 inch reach advantage over.

16 Jan 2024 22:10:41
Yeah your right, hope he doesn't retire but. Still want to see him fight Yarde.

17 Jan 2024 02:19:45
If he fought long he'd be considered a p4p fighter, he'd have definitely beaten Canelo and I think he'd have a better chance of beating Beterbiev.

Speaking of which, Bellew made a mess of himself (again) by calling Beterbiev a cheater and going on a rant about how it's dangerous, yet won't condemn Conor Benn lol

25 Jan 2024 13:43:37
Looked like he had everything as a young fighter, Callum Smith, but he's just far too pedestrian and predictable. Looks like he's been over trained and forgot how to actually just fight. No fire, nothing explosive, just plodding. Massively underachieved.

Jarrell Miller has been arrested and charged with car jacking and battery.

Someone must have been too slow in the drive thru.

Krzysztof Glowacki has been handed a 4 year ban from Boxing due to adverse findings in his urine tests.

4 years for doping is a good number. But you can bet your life that if Joshua, Canelo, Crawford or Inoue tested positive, they'd either get swept under the rug or given a 6 month ban.

Wilders excuses this time around are as follows:

- Bad judging.
- He spent too much time in a Cryochamber before the fight.
- Inactivity.

He also bemoaned the level of opponent, stating that Joshua was fighting a 'sparring partner' where as he had to fight an active former world champion.

He's also stated that he had a mole in Joshua's camp that overheard Joshua and Eddie speaking about how they were going to duck Wilder.

He has tried to back this up by saying "look at how happy Joshua was as he was walking to the ring". Even though Joshua didn't know Wilders result and after the fight he said he'd still fight Wilder.

This is all from an interview he gave with 78SportsTV the day after the fight.

Wilder. Just go away already.

Agree0 Disagree0

Wilder is finished. He does though have that one punch power, so if he does catch you, it could be over. Other than that, he has no chance against Joshua.
I’d like to see Joshua v Hrgovic next for the IBF belt.
Where does Daniel Dubois go next? I’d like to see him in with someone like Frank Sanchez. He seems to be highly ranked by all organisations. That would be a big test for Dubois

29 Dec 2023 16:27:39
I agree, Wilder is done.

Joshua vs Hrgovic could be tricky. Hrgovic is very similar to Vitali Klitschko in style, should Joshua win that would be a very good win for him.

Dubois is interesting. In my opinion he needs a couple of Miller level fights before he jumps in with someone like Sanchez (who is being avoided by everyone, for good reason) . Idealy I'd like to see his next two fight be with someone like Bakole, Ruiz, Zhang or perhaps a rematch with Joyce. If he gets through those fights then you go for a world title.

Wow this Saudi Boxing really draws the crowds. Otto wallin world no.2 Wow.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Dec 2023 22:01:14
Oh good, Miller got stopped with only 8 seconds to go.

Now he can retire and go away.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Dec 2023 23:06:53
The Joshua vs Wilder fight is fully cursed lmao. Parker just ignores the script and puts a beating on him haha.

24 Dec 2023 10:04:59
Respect to Dubois, I didn't see that coming. Miller gassed out massively though but fair play to Dubois
Wilder was shown up for what he is and what everyone knows. If he can't land that right hand, he gets beaten
Joshua did exactly what I thought he'd do bar knocking Wallin out. Does the Joshua-Wilder fight now happen? Not too sure, but Joshua now should see a title fight in 24 and I hope it's Fury, because Joshua stops him all day long

24 Dec 2023 18:57:02
Joshua looks like he'll be fighting Hrgovic for the IBF title should Fury and Usyk rematch after their fight, at least that's what Eddie Hearn said.

Miller gassed because he's not on the juice any more. He was shown for the mess that he truly is and should fade into obscurity now. I could watch Dubois finish him 1000 times and it would never get boring.

In all honesty this is the only time I will say something was not right with Wilder. There was only one time when he got to Parker and he didn't explode like he always does. In all honesty he looked mentally finished and has seemingly lost that killer instinct.

Wallin has never been a top heavyweight, he got a lucky cut against Fury and has been living off of that moment since. He can move a bit and his punch variety is 'ok, but he's got pillow fists and can't hurt anyone.

Kabayel beating Makhmudov by KO was very unexpected. I didn't rate Makhmudov but I expected him to at least go the distance. Looks like Kabayel hits a lot harder than I thought lol.

19 Dec 2023 11:33:23
Jarrell Miller, what a horrible individual. He should be grateful he's in the position to be able to still compete after failing drugs tests twice
I hope Dubois put's it on him, but can't see a win there. I think big baby gets a stoppage in the mid rounds
I think Joshua stops Walling in 6-8 rounds
I think Parker will surprise a few and wins on points. If Wilder doesn't land his big right hand, he loses the fight
All in all, a very stacked interesting card. Looking forward to it

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Dec 2023 12:29:34
Parker could be up during the fight but imo he will get knocked out. Might even be early.
Joshua Vs Wallin I think is a tough match up. AJ points ill go for.

Miller is a mess, I don't even want to speak about him.

Exciting times ahead especially for the heavyweights. Looks like the Saudis are sorting it out.

21 Dec 2023 22:27:27
I've been critical of Wilder for the longest time and often ridiculed his abilties. However in his more recent fights he's actually shown pretty big improvements that I didn't think he was capable of.

Parker has also shown vulnerabilities that I didn't think he had. Getting stopped by Joyce the way he did, was really unexpected considering most thought he had an iron chin.

I think Wilder stops him in the mid-late rounds.

02 Dec 2023 16:05:09
Cant believe nobody is talking about the state if that card for the 23rd …. that is by far the best lineup I've ever seen. Looking forward to it

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Dec 2023 23:40:30
It's a stacked card, but only two of those fights are difficult to pick a winner.

Joshua beats Wallin
Wilder beats Parker
Dubois/Miller is up for debate due to Miller no longer being on the juice and I've no idea how far he's degraded.
Bivol beats Arthur
Opetaia beats Zorro
Makhmudov/Kabayel could be interesting, Kabayel is a mover and Mkahmudov is fairly static so it all depends on how switched on Kabayel is.
Sanchez beats Fa
Hrgovic murders De Mori.

03 Dec 2023 17:01:38
Yea maybe the match making isn’t all that but to have all those fighters on one card is great for boxing.

03 Dec 2023 21:10:00
For sure, I didn't mean to sound like I was poo-pooing your post mate, apologies.

19 Dec 2023 12:25:34
For the amount of time they had to put this card together it's very good. Agree most of the bouts aren't competitive on paper but there are enough big names to grab my attention. Also love boxing Christmas shows.

27 Nov 2023 22:21:58
I thought Katie Taylor did well and deserved the win. She looked much better than her previous outing, where you wouldn't be wrong for thinking she was done at the top level.

I'm guessing there will be a 3rd fight as it is now 1-1, but Dubois has been calling Katie out so we may see that happen instead, then Cameron fight the winner, perhaps?

Agree0 Disagree0
