Comments Thread For: Otto Wallin: "I Hurt Tyson Fury, I Can Hurt Anthony Joshua"

[Monty Fisto]

Wallin, Wilder and AJ. Breazeale gets a mocked a bit, especially for nearly getting decapitated by Wilder. However Breazeale is a big guy and he could **** hard. Wallin managed to thoroughly outbox and pummel him for 12 rounds.

Wallin will never have a huge following and won't generate alot of buzz because of his temperament and boxing style. He is no easy out however; Otto is big, durable and an awkward southpaw. He may not throw a lot of heat but he can when he has to... otherwise guys like Fury, Breazeale and Gassiev would have walked thru him and folded him.

Breazeale was durable but he was there to be hit. Wallin going the distance with him does not really suggest too much of a danger for Joshua. You never know for sure at HW, but I suspect Wallin's approach will suit Joshua a great deal.

I was thinking the same thing. Gassiev has a pretty stout chin but Wallin buckled him with a quick short shot that didn't look like much.

In the Fury fight, he landed a decent amount on Tyson. One of those punches managed to cut him. Wallin's temperament is that of a boxer but he can land with spite when he needs to.

Wallin has been in the ring with Fury, Gassiev and Breazeale and his chin has held up. Can AJ hurt him and spark him out? Can AJ outbox the big awkward Swede? I think this will be a very compelling matchup.

Gassiev at HW is pretty much like James Toney in MMA.

I truly believe Wallin can win. If he had Gassiev hurt, anything can happen.

Not even close. James Tony was an out of shape fish out of the water in UFC. He was desperate for a check.

He suckered Dana White for a payday.

Wallin is explosive. This fight is an upset alert

"Hans Themistode" with his word of the week vocabulary again. "Arbitrary" is not really in context here. The Wallin quote is the final sentence and lifted from an iFL TV interview. Trash journalism.

they've been saying a Joshua-Wilder fight was gonna happen this year, instead we get them on the same card fighting Wallin and Parker instead of each other. At least these match ups are a step above Franklin, Helenius and Whyte lol

Didn't Parker lose to whyte?

Yeah, he "lost". It was a very close fight, you didn`t watch it, obviously. Whyte was in survival mode in the last rounds.

The risk vs reward of these kinds of fights is not great for Joshua tbh. Wallin is big enough and decent enough to make Joshua look underwhelming again, but a win over him doesnt mean much.

Actually win over Wallin gives him the IBF #2 spot & will put him in position to fight Hrgovic when the IBF title becomes vacant after undisputed is settled.
