Comments Thread For: Hearn: I Think Anthony Joshua Knocks Deontay Wilder Spark Out

[Laligalaliga]

if that gutless coward agay ever grew a set id fear for his life in with wilder that's serious theres a tragedy there waiting to happen hed be like frank Bruno when he fought mike Tyson bamboozled by power 2 pensioners klitschko and povetkin hurt the coward wilder will put him on a drip and you can take that as fact that's what will happen.....

Lolx.... These pensioners has done far far more than Ortiz. So you need something else to stand on.

They are desperate to fight wilder

And I think AJ gets put to sleep under 6. Too stiff, too little head movement.

Offer Wilder at least 30-35 of the pot and stop looking for ways to avoid this fight.

Is Joshua enrolled in the clean testing program? Dude looks peded out.

Kell Brook refused to join the clean testing program.

British or not I think Wilder would KO Joshua stiff

hearn feels AJ knocks wilder out...yet.....

1. wilder agreed to fight whyte earlier this year if hearn promised him AJ next later in 2018....HEARN DECLINED

2. wilder came up with AJ's 50 million....yet AJ said he couldn't cause it has to be at home for the fans...AJ AND HEARN DECLINE

3. wilder agrees to give him his home fight as long as its next and in 2018...hearn sends contract to wilder with no date....wilder asks when the date is...they say april 2019 which is completely against what wilder said....HEARN DECLINES

now maybe hearn is feeling froggy since wilder didn't look great against fury...but hes most likely looking for AJ to rematch whyte which no one cares to see again...or fight usyk

[chrisJS]

I think Joshua would knock him out pretty easily but I hope they don't suddenly try and make him vs. Wilder or Fury. Fury-Wilder II is the next logical fight given the robbery and Joshua shouldn't be too eager for Usyk because Usyk would box circles around Joshua and make him look bad.

[KTFOKING]

Definitely possible he knocks Wilder spark out. But I suspect it would be a pretty intense fight and both fighters would be a bit hesitant. Wilder is more likely to go for it, but could be a late round stoppage for either guy.

Good thing here is both guys have shown they are late fight clutch performers. Both have shown the power carries late in the fight and they can take you out at any moment.

Hopefully we get it early 2020.

no way, Eddie Hearn thinks AJ would win by KO!

I agree. I believe if Eddie really believed AJ would KO Wilder the fight would have been made by now. Nobody avoids a "paper champ" especially when it's a huge money fight and being undisputed champ is on the line.

[AdonisCreed]

AJ would have to land the first big shot to beat Wilder and get him in trouble early. Otherwise AJ doesn't move around like Fury does and isn't good with head movement. Which could be a problem. AJ has the size advantage and would have to use that against Wilder.
