  1. One judge scored 115-111 Wilder ! Even with two rounds going 10-8 Wilder for the knockdowns, that seems incredibly harsh. It seems inconceivable that a rematch won’t be both fighters next bout, so where does that leave AJ’s April slot ? If he was to take the winner of the rematch, that now won’t happen for at least 12 months. However, fair play to Fury. This was his night. Not many,if any, would have survived that final round onslaught. But yet again in a big match up, there’s as much talk about the standard of judging as to the bout itself. That should NOT happen.
  2. After so long out of the ring against a decent opponent, it’s difficult to see a Fury win. But then again, who gave him a chance against Klitschko ? Fury’s ringcraft makes him difficult to hit, but I don’t see him opening Wilder up, unless the American gets frustrated and loses concentration. I see Fury going deep into the bout, but running out of steam in the later stages. Wilder to take it in the 9th. Then Eddie, can we PLEASE finally see Wilder v AJ in April ?
  3. In April last year, Joshua defeated Klitschko which led promoter Eddie Hearn to announce that AJ v Wilder must happen in 2018. Yet here we are on the eve of Joshua’s last appearence of the year and still no sign of the Wilder fight. I really hope that this match up does not go the same way as the Mayweather v Pacquiao potential fight where both men avoided each other at all costs until both were past their best and merely looking for a decent payday. I notice that AJ has Wembley booked in April next year with an opponent yet to be announced. Maybe. Just maybe ?
  4. Amir Khan announces a three fight deal with Eddie Hearn, with Liverpool’s excellent Echo Arena staging the first on April 21st. Seems to set up a fight with Kell Brook who previously seemed to avoid the former Bolton World Champion. Can he still hack it after that pummelling from Alvarez and a 2 year absence from the Ring ?
  5. Looks like AJ/Parker is on for early spring somewhere in the Uk. A nice appetiser for AJ/Wilder later in the year. Let’s hope for no slip ups and see if Hearn IS true to his word about the Wilder fight “definitely happening” in 2018. Bring it on !
  6. Over here in the press,Saunders is calling Govolkin out, but it seems a big ask to me. But, no doubt he’s looking for that big payday, especially as it could unify all 5 versions for the division. No doubt time will tell
  7. Frampton comes through unscathed in a decent display, but Garcia takes him the distance. Is he back on track for another title shot ?
  8. Carl Frampton returns to the ring tomorrow, hoping to be the first man to stop Mexican opponent Horacio Garcia. Looks a tough bout for the Northern Irishman in his first fight since losing his Featherweight Crown in January. Now with new trainer Jamie Moore and the Frank Warren stable, Frampton need a good show to kick start his career.
  9. Impressive finish from Wilder. Does this make a potential Joshua/Wilder fight more or less likely in the near future ? Wilder is maybe one to avoid in the near future, but surely it has to happen doesn’t it ?
  10. Agree with you’re points regarding safety and AJ was in front, but this is heavyweight boxing and ONE punch can win you the bout. But, as said, I do agree with you’re points.
  11. Didn’t see the fight last night, but sounds like another controversial end. Sounds like Takem was taking some punishment but seemed to have his wits about him so perhaps should have been allowed to carry on.
  12. Reports say Pulev v Joshua to take place on October 28th in Cardiff. Eddie Hearn to hold press conference tomorrow and is expected to confirm the bout. Does the Bulgarian have a realistic chance ?
  13. Difficult to see how anyone can "learn" to box in such a short space of time. Mayweather may have lost some of his old spark, but surely not the ring craft to get caught by what is in effect a slugger. Mayweather in 5 for me.
  14. Top post ! Sent from my GT-I9195I using the onevalefan mobile app
  15. He's taking on Pulis ? That's James Beattie surely ? But will they have a big enough shower in Caesars Palace ? Sent from my GT-I9195I using the onevalefan mobile app
  16. Paul, now the Klitchsko fight is a no go, is AJ likely to take a lesser fight first, or straight in with one of the three mentioned above ? If it's the latter, would Vegas still be on, or is it back to the O2 ? Is AJ "Box Office" enough yet for U.S. fight fans ? What do you think ? Sent from my GT-I9195I using the onevalefan mobile app
  17. Maori Joseph Parker maybe ? Sent from my GT-I9195I using the onevalefan mobile app
  18. Thanks for your more educated insight.
  19. On a different note, but will it ever be possible to go back to the old days when every weight division has ONE champion ? Nowadays I'm a passive boxing fan and with so many different "councils" it's difficult to know who the "real" champions actually are. Occasionally the divisions are unified, but rarely.
  20. Just read that Pacquiao has had his fight against Horn rescored by WBO judges "who reached the same result" Hardly likely to disagree are they ? Boxing, sometimes ,doesn't half shoot itself in the foot with uneccessary decisions and comments like this.
  21. Any news on Joshua v klitchko in L.A. ? Went to LA 2 years ago and my daughter who works in the Hotel industry blagged us into Caesars Palace to see Celine Dion. Not my bag, but this fight there or the MGM Grand would be amazing. PS anyone who has not been to L.A., put it on your bucket list !
