Comments Thread For: Hearn on Joshua's Performance Against Helenius: 'This Is Just the AJ You're Gonna See Now - No Chances'

[Poopdick]

AJ v Wilder will be like throwing 2 water balloons at each other, it's just a question of which will pop first.

Wilder by ko in round 1 is my prediction.

lol good analogy. I say Wilder too maybe middle rounds. but 1st rd ko would be badass imo.

AJ has to sow doubt in Wilder. He can only do that by ramrod double and triple jabs - which he's never done, by continually making Wilder miss and countering him - which he can't do, or by throwing that right hand early and often - which he can do but doesn't do lately.

it's not a very good recipe for success is it?

Wilder just has to be patient and counter a lazy jab or poor footwork. Most likely poor footwork as Joshua pulls back in a straight line.

Honestly,the best version of AJ to beat Wilder would be the guy that showed up in the 2nd ruiz fight. Light,mobile,stick and move. AJ should not get into a firefight with Wilder,or it will be lights out.

Helenius is a better counter puncher than Wilder. Helenius has always been a passive counter puncher who does best against guys who come forward but don't have good foot speed. This is why AJ couldn't land the right hand without taking one back.

AJ didn't take any big punches which is a good sign for the Wilder fight. Helenius has a good counter left hook and that did some damage but nothing dangerous per se. Wilder doesn't have a good counter punch, especially his left.

Bum Squad came in too heavy in the 3rd Fuey fight and still knocked Luke down twice. Now Wilder is back to his lighter and faster size and is more dangerous. Neither has the chin to take each others best punches.

The fight between the two will possibly be extremely boring as Wilder is more dangerous than Helenius and AJ doesn't want to risk it until he thinks he has a way to do serious damage. It will likely be like Wilder vs Washington, but who will go down will be the question.

AJ was totally lost throughout the fight. He lands a right hand on a bum who’s left hand is by is knees and suddenly Hearn and Company think AJ is back. AJ fears getting KO’ed and if he fight Wilder leave the cup at home and wear a diaper because AJ is going to be soiling his trunks. AJ fights like a deer in headlights. Psychologically speaking AJ is finished but Hearn has to kiss arse to stay involved.

Wilder is gonna look real good knocking the piss out of this bloated pansy

Give me a break people. . To think AJ looked good against a C rated fighter who was a 1 week replacement and fought a week earlier is ridiculous, the only thing his opponent had going for himself was tjat he had a heartbeat and that was all. . Andy Ruiz took all his heart with the knockout and Usyk gave him a lesson in what boxing really is.

Wilder is another joke of a fighter, he can't box and swings wildly hoping to land the big one, the fight between them is moot, neither one deserves another title shot
