Comments Thread For: Joshua-Wallin, Wilder-Parker Mega-Card Official For December 23 in Saudi Arabia

In modern terms it's an incredible card. Strange seeing Matchroom and Queensberry on the same poster... amazing what money can overcome.

We've wondered if anyone could ever take over the sport. It's a shame it's the Saudis.

I'll believe it when I see it.

This is a great card just for all the big names, characters, promotional companies with bad blood all working together. Really looking forward to seeing how it all unfolds.

These are actually good fights. Good to see Wilder finally facing a genuine top-10 guy but he should win that by KO. Parker is not the most elusive

As for Joshua - he has beaten Wallin twice before but I think his new trainer is bad for him. AJ just does really simple stuff now and not much else. Helenius was catching him easy at times. He was far better before he switched trainers. Usyk is just a better boxer than AJ. Full-stop. Don't blame the trainer!

I still go for AJ but can't see him looking good doing it

I like the Joshua/Wallin fight, that one should be more competitive than Wilder/Parker. I don't think Parker has much left in the tank.

The fights are all mismatches... BUT... what really makes the card epic is all the different promotional companies working together...

Finally what we wanted in boxing...

Just got to ignore all the blood spilt to get here...

They're not all mismatches. Sure some of them are but the main fights, Wilder vs Parker and Joshua vs Wallin are interesting. I give Wallin more of a chance of beating Joshua than Parker beating Wilder but stranger things have happened, especially in the heavyweight division.
Anyone who doesn't think Joshua fighting Wallin is a risk is either a blatantly bias AJ hater or they don't know anything about boxing. Joshua has looked shaky lately. Wallin could definitely ruin a potential AJ/Wilder matchup in 2024. I give AJ a lot of credit for taking such a dangerous fight.

Please let the crowd know they can make noise. These cards are great but it’s always a bummer that there is no fight night atmosphere at these events.

It’s great to finally see these guy’s working together which I hope is a sign if things to come . Having these guys like Wilder and Joshua there after years and years of trying to get them to fight and both fighting different opponents is a kick in the teeth .How Frank was billing it before we knew I’ve got to say I’m a little disappointed but I hope it turns out good , we can only hope for a couple of upsets and they are heavy weights after all . It’s a decent starter for the main event just seven weeks later which seems a lot more even now given the big guy’s recent struggle.

I agree with you, I'm just wondering how you've been "triggering" boxing fans with a still of Willard's KO of Jack Johnson. Boxers fought so often back in the day, in 20 plus rounds, that they were bound to be knocked out sooner or later.

Surely it should be Joshua/Wilder, Parker/Wallin?
Seems odd to me
