Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua Punishes, Stops Otto Wallin After Five Rounds

[The plunger man]

Good solid start for Joshua as he should @4/1 on , he seems to have some zip back , he should stay here in England with Ben Davison .I'd like to see him in with the real top boys now and I hope he does and if so I'm with him on that.

sure you are lol……changing your tune now are you thack ?

Never been a fan of Aj since he ducked Wilder in 18, I've alway's said Ajs ageing Wilder out into his preferred age range of 38-41 and shot. I was right. Wilders unsteady & shot.

But saying that this busy Aj is looking good & relaxed in there, same as Parker, boxer's have to box & it's a good thing Ajs finally decided to become a boxer. But I'm not getting carried away with the opposition, Frank, Helenius & Wallin are C's & there to be hit with little coming back.

Who's next? Hrgovic for the ibf won't be until the summer if available.
Wilder lol, please retire as Fury, inactivity & age have caught up.
Zhang despite being 40 looked fresh against Joyce.
Ngannou is a stay busy money fight.
Parker 2?
Agit? Is now a viable option but another c.
Dubois even.
The good thing about Saudi, the Heavyweights are getting sorted out. Even chonky Ruiz was there trying to sell himself.

joshua never ducked wilder lol……..ohh you mean that 50 million dollar email offer with no proof of funds ? The only real offer was a 2 fight 100 million dollar fight straight from DAZN themselves…….wilder has also always been a piss poor excuse of a heavyweight champion period

I never liked AJ but he totally dominated here. Wallin was subpar, definitely not at his best performance, but AJ didn't run away and instead he was constantly coming forward and moving.

This AJ destroys the Wilder I saw yesterday.

[bullydean]

And when he beats ZZ you folks will come up with "he's too old" excuse.

Calm down **** smoker. If AJ fights Zhang before 2025 then great, but where is the AJ vs Zhang announcement?

Get off his lap buddy.

I knew Wallin was in trouble when I saw the weigh-in. His trainers finally get it. In a few of his past fights Joshua looked frail and weak at 237 lbs. When he came into this fight at 251 lbs, I knew he was ready to fight. Joshua is a big heavyweight with not much body-fat. When you train him down to 237 lbs that is over- training and he had lost 15 lbs of muscle, not good. I used to run distance and marathons and spartan runs. One year in my preparation to run in the Army-10miler I was ready to break my personal best. I did my best practice 10 mile run ever five days before the event and boy was I ready. First mile of the race I had no energy and felt awful. Struggled thru the race and had the same time of 82 minutes that I had the previous year when I had trained very little. I did poorly because my practice run was too close to the event. That's called leaving it in the gym! Joshua best weight is between 250 -257 lbs. Tyson Fury is a big man and if you train down to 237 again, you will get your arse whupped. I think he is back, because his trainers wised-up. If he changed trainers, that saved his career!

His PED cycle is at it's optimal level again.

Ustiff will lose badly, won't even be close

You need to transliterate your name with an "ey" at the end instead of that "i". Cuz you and me both know that's Russian troll talk.

"Ustiff"? That's your supposed nickname for the best heavyweight mover in the game? Ha ha Thanks for the laugh.

Fury fans having a ***** fit in a thread that has zero to do with him.

AJ seriously brings out the dribbling spastic in folks.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Wallin ****** so bad, that it won`t be easy for him to get another big fight. I don˙t believe he can beat Kabayel or Sanchez.

[Roberto Vasquez]

Wilder's undoing is his arrogance. Dude feels like he doesn't need improvement. Since watching Wilder I can't see where he's improved. He's always doing too little or too much.

He looked worse than he has ever been in this fight. But that is what inactivity does. You can't beat top fighters if you never fight them. Those Fury fights were 2 years ago.

Helenius (ranked about 14th in the world at the time) was a 1 round fight where Wilder basically did nothing besides the KO.

I said the same about Wallin - the guy had never beaten a top-10 opponent and people were expecting him to beat a guy who fights top-10 guys all the time and had gone 24 hard rounds with the best southpaw in Usyk.

[Ropeydope]

I told everyone who would listen that Parker stood more of a chance than Wallin. The pundits got it backwards, as usual. Wilder is too old and inactive to rely on his “great equalizer” in later rounds as he has in the past when up against a better boxer. Joshua made adjustments and looked much better in 2nd Usyk fight and Usyk is a way more tricky southpaw, and athlete in general, than Wallin by orders of magnitude.
Last night put Fury, Joshua, Usyk, and Wilder’s legacy into perspective. I see a Joshua- Usyk trilogy in the future, after Usyk retires the Gypsy fraud.
