Great card, didn’t disappoint. Great performances by Parker, AJ, Dubois, Kabayel.
Previously hadn’t seen any of Opataia but he looks like the real deal.

The sceptic in me thinks the Ngannou isn’t selling well and this is all a ruse.
Maybe not. Fingers crossed we get the fight.

Pretty terrible card / show all round.

That’s fair. I thought Ward was hitting Kovalev low so I guess I’m reasonably consistent.

Hmm this clip has changed my mind regarding the low blow.

Neither do I. Not sure if usyk used that extra time because the ref gave it to him or if he really needed it.

All depends at what level he’s will too fight at but you’re probably right.

Great 12th round for Berinchyk and Yigit there.

Kind of expecting an easy night for Usyk but hoping Dubois can put on a good show.
I expect Dubois to to get stopped in the second half.
Hearn seemed pretty confident AJ will fight Wilder in December. What do you think the chances are it actually happens? I’m of the belief, that like all highly anticipated fights, now it isn’t as big as it once would have been, the fuckers will sign contracts and get it on.

First round might be a bit of a big ask. I think as long as he gets the stoppage and fights a lot more aggressively than he has been of recent, it will be enough.
Anthony Joshua will fight Robert Helenius at London's O2 Arena on Saturday as the replacement for Dillian Whyte.

Will we get Chisora as a last minute replacement? Is there any feasible opponent for AJ that justify this being PPV in the UK? 3rd failed drug test for the Bodysnatcher - is this the end of his career?

I would not describe this as oddly terrifying. This is completely fucking terrifying.

I was always so confident that spence would win but the whole car crash stuff gives me concerns.

I feel so starved of big HW fights, the AJ and Usyk fights are making me feel tingly in the trousers.

WBC, WBA, IBF, WBO… Which is worst and why? The WBC not enforcing mandatories? The IBF for not being accommodating enough?
… He mentioned that Fury tried to close fights against Ruiz, Joshua and Usyk but no agreement was reached.

Yeah it’s hardly ‘wasting’ money if it’s working exactly as intended.
Now it’s confirmed that AJ is fighting Whyte, and the suggestion is that this is a stay busy fight with the intention for AJ to fight Wilder at the end of the year. Thoughts?
