Whyte was getting ready to decapitate AJ.

Whyte can't even get out of the way of an uppercut.

I hope to see the fight tomorrow. My sports channel here in Canada said Joshua got booed in the 3rd & 6th rounds. Is that true? Then went on to say his back is hurt from carrying the heavyweight division?

Yes all of that is correct, he said the carrying the heavyweight shyte after being asked about Wilder to avoiding answering and left the ring...

Ruiz took the keys to AJ's soul. AJ is not in the correct geography to be effectively aggressive anymore.

wilder will close the distance and spark AJ out with the 1-2. It could come at any possible moment, even in the first round.

3 cards tomorrow looks like this one is the appetizer ......I think AJ sparks out the Nordic Nightmare , but he will be quite cautious..........

What, first post in the thread and from reading the article it seems you were absolutely spot on. Nice call sir. I missed it because I was at work but now I'm on the Naverette-Valdez card so I read the article. Some takeaway for me were that Joshua's fan base is what motivates him but at his core he is self-doubting some. It also sounded like Joshua's adjustment was "through the right hand" and Helenius didn't know how to adjust to "he is throwing the right hand." I'm curious if that's how people viewed it and if that's how it feels when I watch it.

Joshua looked ordinary for large stretches of the fight, like Helenius' reach was troubling him. The left jab marked up Joshua's right eye some and for a while it didn't look too clever for Joshua. Eventually he asserted himself and the KO was devastating and not totally out of the blue.

Joshua's post-match behaviour was a little embarassing, including feigning a sore back purely to deliver a lame, lame comment about carrying the HW division. Awkward.

Wow, as soon as the first round? That is really impressive in spite of it existing purely in your imagination.

Once again RH leaves his left hand low and chin up, takes a big right hand he doesnīt seem to see and goes to sleep. Every time. Duhaupas, Washington, Wilder, AJ. It only takes one flaw if itīs bad enough.

Notice use of the word "could". I guess comprehension wasn't your strong point at school.

I didn't read this whole long thread so I'm quite sure I'm not the only one to speculate that this was a fixed fight. Helenius didn't seem to be trying. I didn't see him throw a single right with bad intentions - and he surely knew that he couldn't win by decision in that place.

Did you not just watch AJ go life and death with Big Bob for 7 rounds ?

Ask someone to explain to you what "to go life and dead" means and then come back and correct your erratic comment if you are a man enough.
