Good fight for now until the December Joshua-Wilder fight

“If” AJ gets past Whyte

[Kannabis Kid]

Seen video of AJ training and he actually looks in good shape, more lean and he was putting his combinations together nicely. I think he's going to blow through Whyte to be honest who was never skilled just had a decent left hook and that's about it although Joshua will always be chinny so Whyte has the power to do something just don't think he will.

Spence v Crawford

Inoue v Fulton


Two great fights this month

Right. It was a rhetorical question, but I agree. My point is that I dont want recycled names and 3-part fights and other creative ways of dodging worthy opponents.

Is there a "no uppercuts" clause in the contract? If not it's a short night for Whyte who sleeps every time someone throws one.

Interesting to see, the twerking diva and the tipsy king still whining and dodging everyone with a pulse. What's the excuse? Sad.

I'm not surprised to see criticism of Joshua making this fight.

But I'm still surprised he's gone down this route. If there's a big fight on the horizon (and anyone denying Wilder v Joshua is a big fight doesn't have a grasp on reality) then why take a chance on fighting someone as decent as Whyte?

Whyte carries little credibility now. But he's been in with good competition, he's a top 10(ish) fighter, and he could upset the path to Wilder. A loss v Whyte and AJ doesn't very the same kind of draw into that fight.

Joshua's not a champion now. He's on the comeback. He didn't need a fight at this level. He should win but he's rolling an unnecessary dice.

But it's a decent fight to watch. And I'll watch.
