This fight only confirms that Fury would beat Joshua. Fury schooled klitschko in his own backyard. The amount of disservice shown to that victory is pathetic. Yes fair play to Joshua for getting back up, but his aura is gone.   Wilder is licking his lips and rightly so!

Has anyone here actually seen Wilder? He's woeful.

He's done what he's needed to do and knocked all bar one out. If he hits Joshua, he definitely won't let him off the hook like Wlad and Whyte. It's silly to say he's woeful, yes he is wreckless looking at times but anyone carrying a punch like his is a huge threat, especially to someone who is as easy to hit as Joshua.

Joshua would walk through him. You say Joshua is easy to hit but he's twice the boxer Wilder is - a puncher's chance is no chance at all in most boxing matches. Vlad was able to respond after those hammer blows by Joshua - I don't see Wilder having the experience or indeed the heart to do the same.

If Fury got into proper shape he might give Joshua an ugly, messy scrap. That's the best that's out there past the lad Joshua just beat.

Twice the boxer? How do arrive at that? Has Wilder shown any evidence of not having a heart?

In case your interested, that image is photo shopped. The original is pretty horrific too but with a normal length neck

[Syferus]

That picture is real. Any normal person could have ended up decapitated!!

That picture is not real..

[Minder]

The photo is as real as the one with the chuckle brother & JayZ at the fight

I'll eat my hat here while I type I didn't think joshua had it in him. Fair play. Great fight and both men can hold their head high...some a bit higher than the other going by the PS above!
Great heart shown by Vlad. Joshua had it all and was a deserving winner. Having two big HW's in a back and forth war definitely helps boxing...

[JimStynes]

I've more respect for Vlad after this defeat than I have had before. Really showed some balls. He will be kicking himself that he didn't try and lay on a few more punches after AJ got knocked down.

I plan on staying up for the Canelo-Chavez fight tonight. Very good undercard too.

[Captain Obvious]

Canelo stroll that fight was, won every round!

Just announced next up GGG vs Canelo. Sort of makes it almost worth watching that exhibition.

Have never seen that before - big video montage for GGG, formal ring walk etc.

Chavez, as usual, was pretty disgraceful tonight.

[JimStynes]

So glad I didn't stay up for that farce

Just seen it there - thought I was watching WWE for a minute with that nonsense with GGG walking out.

He had been ringside, then they brought him to the back to have him do a walk out. Daft.

Unbelievably it looks like the Mayweather v McGregor fight is going to happen.  McGregor announced today that he has signed all his necessary paperwork.
