Hahahahaha you don enter one chance. Me pay for a Boxing bout? When i'm not mad. TV license peeps have been chasing me for years now

I get visitors na why.

All these friendly boxing bouts wey dem dey hug hug

After Tyson no real heavyweight

Nihilstjnr:


I paid 20 pounds to watch this bro

Lol, i paid like 35 AUD. Joshua has to have better defence going forward. His concentration seemed to dip at times, though his corner did not help.

AJ just called out Wilder and Fury! That Fury na werey o, u sure say AJ wan go there?

Wilder vs Joshua next abeg.

Nahhhhh AJ is too nice


I can't get jiggy with nice fighters.


Didnt this guy used to Shot back in the day? What kind of softass roadman is this?

Well he's from Watford, the same town that gave us that poofy Elton John.

But nah, I need malice. I might even start supporting Bumsquad now

Is Fury in shape though?

He hasn't fought in 3 or 4 years and the last interview of his I rememebr was him talking about how he's an alcoholic nd suffers with mental issues.

AJ might forget to box and try to motivate him in the ring now

Anthony Joshua deservedly won. Congrats but I was expecting more. Most of the rounds were like 2 grown men playing tehn-tehh and hugging in-between. Pffff.


Happy Easter everyone. I dey go church.

That is it. All this 4play don do. That is the next step.

Or maybe just maybe He isn't motivated

In fact i thought he wanted to trick Parker, with that. Good that he got the win, deservedly.

Fury has dropped some pounds and sparred with another big daddy Browne weeks back. AJ may struggle with his awkward style.

Hahaha. Fury is definitely not in shape at the moment but i can't rule that psycho out. He is still relatively young and has all sorts of physical advantages over these guys. He is taller, stronger, and wilder than Wilder AND the Gypsy King had a number of KOs from body shots (and some were slaps o).
I am just thinking Joshua should stay focused, stay in his lane and fight Wilder. Let sleeping dogs lie things.

I'm confident that Fury would have beaten AJ back in 2015. I dont know what he's like now.

But I need AJ to toughen up.

Parker was edged today mainly because of that longer reach and AJ handled his speed by moving swiftly and curtailing him from fighting inside with grabbing.

That wilder match is too dangerous for AJ for now in my opinion.

The ref was terrible! Lai se rap battle! Allow these guys fight FFS

I don't know if people expected Parker to just roll over and die. He's Samoan and those ninjas are tough. I don't know if Deontay can evade blows like Parker did but clearly this wasn't AJ's best fight. Still I think it was a relatively easy win

How does AJ look gassed by the 5th round but somehow manages to regain stamina by the 9th round and later. It's incredible really

I dont know if it was to trick parker to stop fighting from back foot and run into power shots. I was surprised too.

I think Parker too should have gone for broke much later on in the fight. Surely he had to know he was behind on the cards

A tall man with a good jab will always dull a shorter man's attempt to go for broke by keeping him away with the jab. I'm surprised AJ did not use the jab more sef. No point risking a trade-off with a short dude with stronger jaw who will prefer a scrap.

Another win for Joshua, won't be easy though.

That was Lennox Lewis's bread and butter I believe. I was underwhelmed a bit by AJ but as a smart heavyweight you need to avoid unnecessary scraps if you can.

It's really funny though to see American fans (I wouldn't say boxing fans cos they know nothing about boxing) suggest the fight was a draw or Parker was robbed and Deontay would murk him. They don't realize AJ handles really well with guys his size and thereabouts. Plus what this fight should remind people (myself included) is that no two fights are alike

That's a tough one to call. I also slightly favour AJ tbh. You could tell He didn't take Parker seriously. He was simply toying with Him all night.

Was just going to say that was what Lewis did best in reply to Ibime's post. He was never behind neither was He in trouble at any point in time so no need to go for broke. £15M in the bank for a glorified sparring session, i'd take that thank you very much.

I don't think AJ controlled that fight at all. I think what we saw was Parker in Damage Limitation mode from the first round.

Parker fought on the outside the entire fight. His reach is 78 inches.

Anthony Joshua's reach is 82 inches.

You can't fight a jabbing game if your arms aint long enough to box. That's why all his jabs kept hitting Joshua's gloves. Parker did not come to fight. He came to collect a paycheck.

Joshua was rocked by the counter, a body shot but the Samoan couldn't finish up. Look at the fool here.

That was the only meaningful punch Parker landed all night.

After that upper, nothing.

That lack of aggression was so irritating. Parker was too focused on slipping AJs jab, that he forgot to throw punches of his own in many cases.

Yes he didn't take the risk needed. He wanted to use inside game to outwit AJ, AJ was just clipping his head under his arm and the ref wouldn't have none of that. Longer reach is an advantage for a smart and skillful boxer.

Are you as confident in AJ going forward as you were before? Seems the guy has been more focused on losing weight than on improving his boxing skills.
Against an inferior boxer in Parker he just did not show enough for me to be uberconfident.

Caballero starts.
