Comments Thread For: Barry Hearn: Wilder is Not Very Good, Easiest Fight For Joshua

Joshua is the heavyweight king...
They all want the money

Yeah, the Parker fight was garbage boring, so id rather take your word for it than watch it again.

I remember leaving disappointed no one turned up and after AJ was like the "sweet science...." I didn't see that much though. Ref ruined it prevented both guys fighting on the inside.

That ref was a joke. It seems like inside fighting is becoming a lost art.

I couldn’t imagine having paid to be there. Was the undercard decent at least?

Yeah, I think Miller is actually a worse fight stylistically than Whyte is. Could you imagine the landscape of the division in 2020 if undisputed is Wilder/Miller in NY?

(No I don’t think that’s a possibility, just saying)

It would be big, America has been waiting for something like that since Holyfield/Bowe/Tyson. So yeah it would be massive.

I knew he would abandon it against Ortiz due to the southpaw counter punching, I had no issue with that. But he’s definately relied on it far less, you can’t deny that. It’s more of a set up now then a good snapping jab. I expected him to use tht and go to the body more against Fury, but it is what it is. Learning experience for the rematch.

Would have expected more jabbing against Fury since Wilder said he'd had surgery on his right and could only practice his jab in the run up to the fight.

Especially with Miller being from Brooklyn, and Wilder “bringing boxing back to Brooklyn.” They could sell a rivalry too since miller can talk, and him and wilder go way back (Miller posted pictures of the two of them in Instagram a few months back from the two of them hanging out in their early 20’s)

That said, I would only want it if they both legit won. No scorecard BS.

Yeah, I actually believe wilder when he said he was intimidated on the large scale, first round he came out jabbing and throwing to the body, but it seemed like the first boo and he was swinging and head hunting. He needs to fight way smarter if he expects to win.

Yes Whyte was offered lower than what he made against Chisora (first offer), and do you know VADA does Joshua testings? Go on their website. This is part and parcel of the game. Put ideas in people’s heads. Some take the bait because they either don’t recognise the game or they obviously don’t like the fighter in question. Other just skip through the BS as part of the game.

word! basically the hype story machine used to bring wilder up is that he's being feared by Joshua.. that's the narrative to bring wilder's marketability up they've created by using Joshua's name,wilder mentions the whole fabricated 'ducking story' in all his interviews to start an interesting topic,heck even after the fury fight...both wilder and fury had to mention Joshua's name..only the casuals,mostly Americans and the casuals/haters of Aj on boxingscene believe this whole kayfabe narrative...just ask yourself if you're reading this how can a fighter who fights in the division where it's is believed that one punch could change everything be ducking another fighter who all he basically has is that one punch? there's more to boxing than one punch,you have to actually land that punch if the other guy doesn't get to you first..and I believe Joshua will get to wilder first !

'If he doesn't fight Wilder for 10 years BUT stays unbeaten i'll take that' ........ by Barry HEARN!

Look at the photograph Barry even Joshua finds that funny!

When you drink that much this is what happens!

[Earl-Hickey]

Joshua doesn't move his head off the line consistently enough, and his sheer musculature will always leave him needing to catch that wind in the middle of the fight to give his conditioning a chance to take over

If you honestly think that Wilder won't be able to land on Joshua, you're a fool.

It took him how many rounds to get rid of Eric Molina?

He won't take Joshuas punches for more than 2-3 rounds before getting folded BAD

IF and it really is a huge IF, he gets past Fury somehow in the rematch without getting schooled again, Joshua is going to smash that yankee bum fraud to smithereens, and all the americans in the audience will be stunned into silence, not a single word uttered from their open pie-holes.
