Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua Decisions Joseph Parker To Unify World Titles

[BigZ44]

you were laughing as you typed this, dont lie
pricey looked as good as ever tbh! i mean minus being brutally knocked out cold he was boxing beautifully!

I was laughing until Price landed that big left hook in round 3. I jumped off my damn couch and was screaming for Price to finish him. **** I'm still pissed, I really thought he was going to do it. But yes, I was snickering as I typed that

Well, crap. I am in the camp that has always picked AJ to beat Wilder. But if that lackluster effort is what he brings, Wilder will win just on pure desire. I still lean Joshua, but comparing the last 2 fights and the last two opponents I could blame no one who picks Wilder.

You notice his mouth wide open in the 8th?? He also got a lot of breathers for his hand wrap. That was smart. I'm gonna have to try that trick. See how many punches it take to make a sloppy tape job come undone. That sht might of been done on purposes. Not hard to do if you really think about it...

Respect man. Very unbiased take on the fight and I 100% agree

Oh man oh man. Ain't NO WAY AJ fans can say they think he beats Wilder

I'm not an AJ fan, I was hoping Parker would beat him, but why not?

Wilder is trash. He was easily getting outboxed by Ortiz before he knocked the old man down in the fifth. Then again up until when he won by KO. He obviously has power, but he's not a good boxer at all. AJ is slightly better, although they both benefit hugely from fighting in a very average era.

Okay I'll give u that but do u think AJ wins vs Wilder at this point? Ur only as good as it last fight. At least that's what they say. I don't see the fight happening either

Joshua seems one dimensional, his size and steady power are apparent but his excitement factor petered out vs Takam and tonight.
Wilder runs in hands down, constantly on the verge of being chinned but his punch is a fight finisher.
Going off the buzz of each guy's last fight, Wilder was a winner off the back of Joshua's fight, so in excitement terms Wilder should take it.
I stick with my original thoughts of two flawed guys who can punch is 50/50, but off the back of Wilder stopping Ortiz he's got to take an extra point or two giving him a tenuous edge.

[Mindgames]

Very obvious that Wilder puts both guys to sleep. Different level of power. Neither guys tonight could badly hurt the other one. Wilder has never been in a fight where he didnt badly hurt a guy.

He's never fought an undefeated young world title holder. He's best opponent was an older man with high blood pressure. He's beaten no one any good. Fact.

I'm British but I would like to see Wilder beat Joshua as Wilder is not a fraud.

Hopefully Joshua will not hide away in the UK with the judges and the ref in Eddie's pocket.

[Sickmerch1990]

Was a boring fight dam ref ruined it but easy win for joshua before years out be undisputed just beaten the best of the rest only easy fights ahead (wilder)

Hearn wants absolutely NOTHING to do with Wilder!!! AJ vs Povetkin in November

I agree. Joshua vs Povetkin is next.

The only way Joshua vs Wilder happens next if Joshua forces it to happen with Hearn by putting his foot down. And you'd think he would.

Thing is Wilder is wild & awkward so he's gonna cause problems for Joshua who's more textbook then again Wilder is so wild & awkward he can get beat to lol. So I think Hearn just wants Wilder to get beat by one of these more ho hum mfers & then they'll lift the title off that dude.

Its funny how boxing works like that. Wilder might be the biggest threat to beat Joshua, but Wilder could lose to a lot of lesser guys.

Hell I think Povetkin gots a solid shot at beating Joshua too.

This whole unification thing could EASILY get effed up. Hearn only cares about money doe so money is where he's gonna steer Joshua. If Joshua listens is the only question. And hell if I was Joshua I might go the money route myself over legacy & fighting the biggest threat to him in the division.

[bluemax]

Joshua and Parker just showed how really weak the heavyweight division is. To think Joshua is a world beater is laughable. I now understand why they are avoiding Wilder. If the Joshua that just fought parker had fought Wilder he's still be laying flat in the ring
