big congratulations to dubois, dominant display.
i honestly think now, all that's left for AJ now is a mega money prize fight, and that's most likely to be fury, ( if he loses to usyk again)
or even wilder, which I have no interest in whatsoever
Turki Alalshikh looked like he had the hump post fight, didn't look happy at all.

Honestly Turki is slowly finding out the hard way that 'plans' in Boxing rarely ever come to full fruition. He really should have known this as his first Saudi show was Ruiz vs Joshua II, a fight where Joshua had suffered a shock defeat in the first outing.
I like his ambition but he's a brainlet when it comes to understanding how the sport works.

anyone giving dubois more than a punchers chance against AJ on sat night?
all people i've asked says he has no chance at all.
i would like to see a dubois win, but his clumsiness will be his downfall in the fight.

I'm personally 60-40 in favour of AJ winning.
Dubois has shown that he has far superior stamina to AJ and I think it's fair to say his durability is probably better than AJ's too (going off Dubois' last two fights), so if he can withstand AJ's power and draw him into a brawl, I think Dubois stands a very good chance.
However, I suspect AJ will do everything he can to box like he did against Ruiz (2) and Parker. So I am expecting a largely boring fight, that possibly leads to an AJ stoppage.
I will say that as we have got closer to the fight, my opinion hasn't changed I still think AJ will win but I am less convinced of it than I was in the previous thread.

I would give Dubois more of a punchers chance. I am favouring Aj to win but that's all down to the amount of right hands Dubois took v Hrgovic but surely they have corrected that.
I think Dubois has a better chin, better work rate although would say aj has the better ring IQ and probably more power.
Think the first few rounds will be a battle of the jab with neither taking much risk until the later rounds.

Although I said above I think the first few rounds tonight will be a battle of the jab, I don't think that should be Dubois' game plan. I think if it's a battle of the jab and he stays mid to long range, joshua will go up and down stairs with the jab then start to land the right.
Think Dubois should put the pressure on him from the start, slipping sliding and throwing hooks. Brings the danger of Joshua's uppercut into play but I see that as Dubois' best chance of winning and hope he employs these tactics as it will lead to an exciting bout.

bakole looked good last night, a lot of people I know thought anderson would win on points.
i think he could do some damage to the top heavyweights.
as for the miller fight, did I miss something?
no way was that a draw, miller won that in mu opinion
1.) 05 Aug 2024 07:33:18
Bakole is? a danger man. Wouldn't mind seeing him v Zhang.
2.) 05 Aug 2024 14:35:58
Yeah I picked Anderson to win on points by moving and keeping Bakole on the end of a jab. I thought he would have learned from the stupidity he showed in the Martin fight.
Given the rumours of Bakole's sparring sessions, it makes me wonder why anyone stands in front of him like that.
Miller can fall in to a black hole, I'll never give him any credit for anything after he stuck several pharmacies up his rear end.
3.) 05 Aug 2024 18:19:39
Tbh I thought Bakole was a free one. Thought Anderson has been a disaster waiting to happen. He's on tape saying he doesn't like boxing and imo took too many shots against hand picks.
4.) 06 Aug 2024 15:54:00
Yeah I remember watching him vs Martin and being unimpressed, but I figured he's in his early 20s and will naturally improve.
I know he's said some stuff about being disinterested in Boxing, but I figured that was just an angle for him, like how Fury does it.
Was a fun fight though, Bakole needs to work on his defense if he's going to be a genuine contender though. Accurate big punchers like Joshua would be a nightmare for him with that defense.

not aj's biggest fan and I know it was only an mma fighter, but that was an impressive ko.
and he's starting to look like the aj that used to destroy everyone, maybe being with ben davidson could be one of his best decisions.
funny thing was fury post fight, he was blatantly avoiding talking about fighting aj, when all he has done is call him out over the years calling hum every name under the sun lol.
as someone commented on another post, I agree fury won't fight aj.
i think if he beats usyk twice he will retire undefeated.
but saying that it won't surprise me one bit if the usyk fight gets delayed once again.
if that fight gets delayed again then the wbc should be demanding fury fights a top 10 contender, but they will prob just let him do what he wants

not a fan of boxers vs youtubers, but I did watch the fight on saturday and in my opinion ksi was robbed, for me worse result for ksi should have been a draw
tommy fury isn't an elite level fighter and I think would struggle badly at brisih level let alone world level.
he's just living off the fury name.
1.) 20 Oct 2023 15:50:43
You won't catch me watching any of this circus but I know Tommy Fury is pretty poor.
Lawal v Chamberlain tonight for the British Cruiserweight title. Tommy Fury would lose to both, quite convincingly. I'm not sure he'd win the English title, let alone British.
2.) 21 Oct 2023 10:32:22
Didn't watch it but if that's what they want to do then it's OK with me as long as they don't call it boxing. Call it something else just not boxing. If it was boxing everyone involved would have their purses and licences suspended by the board.
My nephew was telling me last night that Tommy fury is a proper boxer. Aye son so was Freddie Flintoff.
Don't mind if this circus continues just don't call it boxing.

People pretending to be boxers. There used to be a saying "You don't play Boxing" and now everyone is 'playing'.

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.
27 Aug 2023 22:26:47
he most likely would have got up if he was counted.
one thing I must say though after watching it again was I think usyk was a bit over the top with his complaining about low shots throughout the fight.
27 Aug 2023 09:38:59
watched it again on bigger screen, more so the accused low blow, did not look low to me, and usyk was down for ages.
even noticed when warren post fight said get it up on big screen, when they did it went silent in the crowd.
by the sounds of it now, they want a rematch
17 Aug 2023 00:55:31
it would be good but I can't see joshua really taking it to wilder, especially not early on. but maybe just maybe joshua could even get wilder out early because I was thinking today that wilder sometimes swings and misses a lot and if joshua can land a got counter punch and rock him it may possibly be different.
but I still believe wilder will take him out early, main reason being I think joshua will be a bit worried to engage early on and could be a bit gun shy.
and we all know with wilder, despite all the swinging and missing he will land at some point lol.
14 Aug 2023 18:51:16
tony bellend, definitely the biggest aj fanboy, don't think i've seen someone so far up someone's backside lol.
well done on the bet mate
i'm going to stick a few quid on wilder to do aj in rounds 1 to 3 or 1 to 4.
i honestly think it may not even go 2 rounds, wilder will flatten him.
