What are you kid, 16? Go research WW2, not Call of Duty video game. The SAS and the RAF has TRUE GRIT!
Agreed! Sorry I'm a bit of a troll but the Brits did show tremendous grit in WWII. The Russians did as well but most Americans won't admit it or have been told otherwise. In all seriousness, Joshua needs to develop some grit. I sense that he's a guy that lacks confidence deep down and that he's been overly pampered. He's a humble guy but I think he should start to question the team that has him carrying around too much muscle.
There are some interesting theories out there. Some are speculating a lack of PEDs that he's normally afforded in the UK, a fix, and most likely he was KO'D in sparring by a bum thus shattering his confidence. I rooted for Joshua and was a bit devastated he lost but he couldn't have lost to a better guy. I hope Joshua rebounds and doesn't become the heavyweight version of Felix Verdejo
I call BS. Joshua did not look confident at all. I remember looking at him during the ring walk and thinking he looks afraid. Joshua needs to develop some grit, unfortunately he lives in a continent where there is none
Hard to believe that Wilder is already 33 and will be 34 later this year. I don't want to see a 35 year old Wilder against a prime Joshua. Make the fu#king fight ASAP!
canelo back on the roids again it seems.
I was thinking the same. How often do you see someone move up and seem so much more powerful than they are at the lower weight classes. Especially a guy that fought at 140. I know his fans will defend him but it's suspect as heck
IMO, Joshua has been in a dark place since the Klitschko fight. He hasn't been the same since and for the sake of the sport I hope he rises to the occasion
Please elaborate on how Haymon is responsible for all of boxing's ratings going down.
Competitive fights are few and far between. Many key fights are never made or are in danger of not being made. Think of Joshua vs Wilder, Stevenson vs Kovalev, etc. Long layoffs for every PBC fighter
Completely agree with Ben especially when you couple that with Wilder's lack of skills. I don't see how the third bout goes in Wilder's favor. Also, some of you guys need to stop with this glove conspiracy. Wilder lost and lost badly. Gloves have nothing to do with a lack of skill and inability to counter or fight off the back foot.
I'm a HUGE GGG fan. I thought he won both of the Canelo fights with the draw being a robbery and I thought he won a close decision in the second fight. That being said I was surprised by the outcome of Saturdays fight. I was cheering on Golovkin the whole night but as the 12th round ended I was sure he lost that fight. Golovkin may have won a gift decision just like Canelo did to him but he needs to be honest and look at the fight and then retire! He has more money than he can spend in a lifetime and is taking more and more of a beating in each consecutive fight even when he wins. He's had a great career, pack it in and enjoy your life GGG before permanent damage happens.
I agree 100% GGG is too tough for his own good
I actually give Breazeale a small chance to win, he just has to jump on Wilder from the opening bell. Unfortunately Breazeale has Virgil Hunter in his corner and I don't think he will give him good advice. We've seen Virgil in the corner for many KOs. Khan, Berto, etc..
No other heavyweight is more deserving of a title shot. Sure let, Wilder, Fury and Joshua sort things out but Whyte had the best run of any heavyweight in 2018
Obama being a black man didn't want to spur on the racial divide that has exploded under the Trump admin. Trump on the other hand did this not for the fighter or injustice as he claims but for Stallone and for the chance to be accepted into the elite hollywood world.
Good for Johnson and his legacy though
Good theory crackpot
This was a such a great performance by J-Rock! I knew he had a chance but it was surprising to see Hurd visibly hurt, backing up because he was hurt and manhandled by a smaller guy. There were times in which Hurd could not push J-Rock. Hurd can't take many more beatings like this. I think he should pass on the rematch and take 1 year off as he took a brutal beating. J-Rock stops him in the rematch
I can't stand Canelo. He's a good fighter but not great. He's just been promoted and matched well. I don't even get the appeal of this guy as a superstar as he is dull as will
I know a lot of us Americans are siding with Wilder but there's no doubt that Joshua is the A-side. More belts, better resume and more of a star. 65/35 Joshua seems fair to me
I think Hearn did this on purpose knowing that Whyte would eventually lose. If he won today, he would be a bigger thorn in the side for Hearn and the WBC. Now that he's lost he has to take time to come back and during that time we should see Joshua fight the winner of Wilder vs Fury 2. My gut tells me it will not go as planned. A curve ball will be thrown and Whyte will end up fighting for a belt sooner than we think
Dude needs to stop talking. I hope they don't do the immediate rematch. Wilder should let Joshua and Fury fight and he should fight 2x more times and then fight the winner. I'd like to see him against a Whyte, Chisora, or Andy
Turns out the celebrity boxing match could backfire on everyone hoping this would help the sport. The guy is right, there is some shady stuff in the sport and us fans have been dumb enough to tolerate it. How many times have we seen questionable decisions, blatant robberies? Drug testing is a joke and the number of belts per division is ridiculous.
Pascal about to get beat like Browne does all his women, I’m just saying!
I hope this is one time you're okay with being wrong. Talk about Karma for Browne.
Is it just me or did Tyson seem a bit off in that interview? His voice seemed more gravelly than usual. I hope he is staying on the straight and narrow path
