That Wilder would destroy Joshua.
I used to see it as a 50/50 fight.
Now I see it as a 70/30 fight for Wilder.
Unless Joshua improves that is.
But the version that showed up versus Parker is tailored for an Alabama big right hand.
Joshua was slow, robotic, and easy to touch for a fighter that isn’t as fast as Wilder. Doesn’t have the reach or height of a Wilder. Not the explosive movement or one punch KO power.
Hearn and Joshua will continue to duck Wilder.
I don't know if you're dumb or unknowing or both, but none of what you said is true.
The last part was especially stupid.
Way to make an argument. HAHA. F.uck you ***.git.
Really? Why is that? By winning meaningless titles in a weak division? Joshua has never faced anyone near as dangerous as Bruno did when he fought Tyson in 1989. And he gave Tyson fits!
Joshua is really starting to look like a protected, paper champion.

I went from 60/40 in Joshua's favour to 60/40 in Wilders favour
Wilder is too fast and he throws those crazy shots that you dont see coming. Joshua is too open to get hit by one of those bombs
Joshua has already eclipsed Bruno 10 times, so no not really and everyone who says so just have never seen Bruno fight including you.

Correct.
Joshua is a bigger version of Frank Bruno.

Not sure who'll win. Yesterday I did think that Wilder would swing a right hand, land on the chin and put him out.
But AJ also did some good technical things, but man he just stunk the place out.
I go back and forth, but I want to see it!
It all depends, Wilder himself looked very pedestrian against Ortiz outside of the couple rounds he was able to hurt him.
.
Pedestrian? How can you say that, when he overcame adversity, and stopped Ortiz? That was probably Wilder's best performance. Just like Joshua's best performance was against Wlad. Would you say Joshua looked pedestrian against Wlad?
I'm sick of all these UK bag lickers kissing Joshua's ass.
He's going to get torched if he ever man's up, and fights Wilder. They've been holding out for too long as it is.
Wilder just stopped Ortiz, who is CLEARLY a much more dangerous fighter than Joesph Parker.
I'm not even sure AJ gets passed the version of Ortiz who fought Wilder.
You Limey UK ***gits need to show Wilder the respect he deserves. Face it: Your man cannot beat him!

Both guys are certainly more cautious now than in previous fights. I use to see it was an easy Joshua win but now feel it'll be an extremely dangerous fight because Wilder has the eraser.
Joshua will have to find a way to take Wilder's power away with bodywork so the Bronze Bomber doesn't clip him late in the fight like he did Ortiz.
But I wouldn't take too much from one or two fights. Styles make fights and Wilder isn't nearly as fleet of foot as Parker nor as hard to hit.
One thing for sure is that Joshua doesn't have huge punching power and will have to use his strength to wear Wilder down for the ko.
Wilder is harder to hit than Parker, better reflexes and better dodges. And he just moves better

Don’t get me wrong I think Wilder will ice Joshua but not because of this performance. I think Parker did just enough to survive and it’s hard to look good against a guy not trying to win.
I’ve seen Wilder struggle with lesser fighters. I’ve also seen him KO everyone of them. I always thought Wilder had about a 25% chance of knocking Joshua out, now I’m thinking this fight is nearly 50/50
People underestimating aj.
Parker is as cagey as spilkza for example. Yes wilder got the ko late, but that guy is no parker. Parker has a chin and didn't really fight on the front foot at all so it was a terrible fight to watch.
Aj still won for me. He struggled in some areas and it seems he doesn't enjoy smaller guys running into him head first.
I personally think his style can still catch wilder. However wilder has that power get out card
Definitely Wilder is starting to look like the better of the two
Wilder’s style will be the difference
He will be wild and some will be hayemakers but just enough to keep AJ on his toes and gun shy
Of course AJ will have to counter but will he be up to it (very slow and stamina problems )...
Just think Hearn might know something and that’s why AJ won’t fight him any time soon
I still think its the same fight. Parker has no bearing on it. I think his plan was to move, move, move and pot shot until AJ gassed. It didnt happen and it ended up being a stinker of a fight. Wilder doesnt have the skill to do what Parker did and he wont have any intention of trying it. He will be wary of Joshua early like he was with Ortiz and hope to land a bomb and he might. Its still a 50/50 fight just like it was before a few hours ago.
I respectfully disagree sir. I saw Parker getting in some good work on the inside and surprisingly l, even with a lack of reach, did some good work jabbing too.
Styles make fights and Joshua is perfect for Wilder. Stalking forward as a big slow target is asking to get hit with right straight. And Wilder won’t even have to worry about the awkward southpaw stance that gave him trouble versus Ortiz.
Short of catching the flu again. Wilder should Knock Joshua out.

Parker was cagey and smart but didn't really go looking for him he did well to make the rounds close-ish.
AJ/Wilder rounds will probably look fairly similar to what we saw tonight I feel. I'm still assuming AJ would take centre ring and his jab would pick up points and it'd be up to Wilder to see if he can blast him out.
AJ is still bigger and stronger and technically more proficient and Wilder is still faster and more explosive and has the ultimate equaliser in his right hand.
I just see that right hand landing I think and AJ has stayed hit in the past.
But AJ isn't mediocre people. Give him a little bit of credit.
It'll take a very good fighter to beat him.
