Dubois was outstanding. His jab was so quick and powerful, he hurt Joshua everytime he landed. I would like to see Joshua walk away now, he's had a good career and don't want to see him become a punch bag.
On a side note, Liam Gallagher hasn't a note in his head. My God he was he was terrible.

as I said in my post, I think if fury loses to usyk him and AJ will have a mega money fight
or the other possibility could be wilder for AJ lol
one thing I am seeing now which I don't like is a lot of people are still talking more about how AJ, showed courage etc, yes he did but all the talk should be about a brilliant and dominant display by dubois.
i also don;t understand how AJ has rematch clause being the challenger
oh and agree with you on liam gallagher, sounded really bad.
2.) 22 Sep 2024 13:07:47
It's thought that Joshua will active the rematch clause. It was a one-sided fight but Joshua only has himself to blame, moving backwards in a linear fashion with hands low, not keeping the left hand up when throwing the right. So much that he could fix for the rematch.
Plus just before he got KO'd he had Dubois in trouble after landing a massive right hand.
I think the rematch if it happens will be interesting.
3.) 22 Sep 2024 13:30:39
Yeah there are some fights that could be made for him like u say Wilder or maybe even the Whyte rematch but personally I would like to see him walk away.
Joshua is just massive star that he naturally will gather a lot of attention even after a defeat but I agree with you mate all the praise should go to Dubois.
Also don't like the idea of a rematch clause or why Joshua walked to the ring second as the challenger, I assume Dubois would have had to agree to these demands and was compensated for them.

The way Dubois attacks at times reminds me of a young Mike Tyson, now hear me out lol.
Not saying he has the same defence or skill, technique or footwork as Tyson but just the way Dubois jabs his way into range then let's the hooks go in combinations reminds me abit of Tyson.
5.) 23 Sep 2024 22:20:55
I'd say more like Holyfield than Tyson, though he has much heavier hands than both to be honest.
He also has some pretty bad habits that Holyfield had too, like hitting low and headbutting. There are a couple of instances in the Joshua fight, but credit to Joshua he doesn't cry about it and just gets on with it.
I don't think it would have changed the outcome of the fight, I'm not trying to cope over AJ losing or anything. I've just never been a fan of that kind of Boxing. Unless it's against people who deserve it, like Miller. Lol.
6.) 24 Sep 2024 22:12:24
Agree I can see the similarities with Holyfield.
Aye, Miller and Benn. Lol

Wow what a fight. Joshua showed some guts. Dubois was outstanding. What a KO.
04 Sep 2024 17:22:41
Seen Eddie Hearn and Simon Jordan on talksport debating whether Joshua quit Vs Ruiz in their first fight.
What do yous think on this? I personally wouldn't say he quit but he was definitely looking a way out before he knocked out.
1.) 05 Sep 2024 18:11:09
I put a reply to this on Gmans video about it. I think it's disingenuous to suggest that a man who has been down 4 times and got up each time quit. I also think it's disingenuous or perhaps naive to suggest that he was looking for a way out.
The man was concussed, very clearly, given he was asking questions in the corner like "why do I feel like this? ". When you're severely concussed you don't know anything and taking more and more blows to the head isn't going to clear that up.
I'm absolutely convinced that Joshua would have continued to try and fight if the referee allowed the fight to continue.
2.) 05 Sep 2024 18:54:48
Yeah I agree he might have been concussed mate but I watched it again and the way he spat his gum shield out, was looking away from the ref, not really responding to the ref, imo he was looking a way out.
Yes I agree if the ref had of said box on then Aj would have continued but imo he would have hit the deck again once Ruiz hit him again.
3.) 05 Sep 2024 19:29:32
That's stuff that veteran fighters do when they're trying to buy extra time to recover mate.
Yeah he probably would have gone down again and stayed down, that or been very wobbly when he got back up with the ref waving it off.
4.) 05 Sep 2024 19:56:03
I know what u mean mate about buying time etc but imo he wanted out of there, can that be classed as quiting, I don't know.
Anyway bud, have u seen the promo for it?
5.) 05 Sep 2024 20:09:42
I haven't mate. I've not been too in touch with Boxing outside of the fights themselves. Kind of waiting for the Saudi's to actually take over lol.
6.) 05 Sep 2024 21:06:30
Lol I hear u bud.
Anyway, all good with u sir? Hope u been well.
7.) 06 Sep 2024 16:53:47
Yeah not too bad. How about yourself mate?
8.) 07 Sep 2024 10:43:00
All good man, still waiting on surgery for a torn ACL but other than that i'm all good.
01 Jun 2024 00:09:14
Wilder ( not confident)
Hrgović
Sheeraz
Ford
Richards
My predictions for tonight. Wbu?
1.) 01 Jun 2024 07:54:19
Same I think mate, though I keep flip-flopping on Nick Ball and Ford.
Wilder by late KO because Zhang's stamina is the worst in boxing history. Makes AJ look like Mo Farah.
Hrgovic but I can't decide whether it will be points or a corner stoppage.
Sheeraz by KO.
Ball/Ford by points I can't decide who.
Richards by KO.
2.) 01 Jun 2024 11:51:05
Tbh mate I'm not confident with any of my picks. All the fights are hard to call.
3.) 01 Jun 2024 12:01:39
Like in all honestly Wilder is done and Hrgovic imo is still living off them sparring sessions he had in Hayes gym about 10 years ago.
4.) 01 Jun 2024 20:55:09
Well damn I'm already wrong on the first one lmao
09 Mar 2024 00:50:57
Team Aj now for life.

Thinking purely on boxing I think I would be OK with Turki taking over, he seems to listen to what the fans want and creates it.
Look at the show last week, 6 bouts quick turn around between bouts and main event starting before 10pm. Compare that to a Top rank show where we get 10 fights, 2 episodes of 24/7 between each fight and whole show lasts 8 hours.
We all know the sanctioning bodies r a joke anyway so I'd be OK with Turki taking over if the last year is to go by.
My worry is when Turki or Saudi have had enough what happens to the sport after? Also worrying is stories of journalists being blacklisted from events if they bad mouth Turki or the show.
28 Sep 2024 10:13:48
At the start I wasn't too keen, I thought the shows were amateurish and lacked atmosphere but over the last year or so they have been amazing. Some still might point to a lack of atmosphere but the production level and quality of the cards have been brilliant.
I do think but why the Saudis are doing this? They aren't doing this to make a profit, is it just one rich man's love of the sport? Or is there other reasons behind it? Some might point to the playing of the Saudi national anthem and say that is there reason but I'm not sure.
Looking at the positives, they have held some fabulous cards and finally the fans are getting a lot of the fights we wanted. They have brought Matchroom and Queensbury together which can only be good for the sport going forward. They have brought more good attention to the sport imo.
On the negatives, there seems to be no structure to this. It just seems it is the route that Turki Alalshikh
Wants to see. Cause I have no real idea on why the Saudis are involved I don't know how long they plan to be involved. What happens to the sport if they decide to put their doe into another sport, what happens to boxing? Also heard a lot of rumours about Turki Alalshikh having health problems, hopefully the mam is ok but he seems to be driving force behind the doe so if true how much longer will this continue?
Boxing at the moment is in a see saw position, could be up one month and down the next. Be interesting to see how this pans out.
More worrying is the Olympic situation for the LA games in 2028. I read the World boxing are taking steps towards securing the future of boxing in the games but let's hope they can convince the IOC by next year cause boxing not being an Olympic sport would be disastrous for the sport.
