Poor fight. Second Joshua fight in a row where his beaten opponent will come away with more credit than him. Officiating very poor on both ends. I feel like Joshua won by like three rounds or so, not the ridiculous margins all three judges awarded.
I’ll at least give Joshua credit for saying Wilder’s name out loud. It’s clear that all the stalling and stonewalling is just from Hearn - I don’t believe Hearn’s BS about there being no contact from Wilder’s team for a microsecond.
Talking about how Wilder's team has never contacted him, how if he wanted the fight, he would have been in Cardiff tonight, how Wilder who is fighting in front of 6-8000 people is not ready for 80 000, etc.
That was way too laid back of a fight. Parker looks like damaged goods, didn’t let his hands go.
now we will have to see AJ spar with that giant junkie oaf.
You're probably right about breaking PPV Heavy weight records but Joshua put 80K+ butts in seats in the UK for 3 fights in a row...he is THE MONEY MAKER in the sport now...the only reason to delay the Wilder fight is if Wilder's camp is being unreasonable with $$$ or Hearn is frightened to take the risk.

I am in NO WAY knocking AJ's drawing power in the UK. He is a mega star. However, those crowds do not make a gate much bigger than a top gate in Vegas at a MUCH smaller venue.
I had it 8-4 for Joshua but that was not impressive. Joshua looked slower than before for some reason. I recon he would have big problems with Wilder's reach, height, power and especially speed.
