Comments Thread For: Hearn: Anthony Joshua Wants To Right His Wrong at MSG

[Sid-Knee]

Salute to Anthony Joshua! If the rematch went to a decision in the UK, and Joshua won all the belts back, it would not be a good look!

Why wouldn't it be a good look? The first fight was in the US, so the second should really be in the UK. You just want the home advantage to be taken away because you want AJ to lose again. You're just setting it up to smear him yet again if it takes place in the UK.

Was it a bad look for Robinson when he had the rematch in the US after losing in the UK?

I knew Eddie wasn't going anywhere. All that money DAZN is offering Anthony Joshua for a rematch. Hell yes; The rematch would be held at the MSG!
It's more money than Joshua can make in the U.K.

Besides, this could be very well be Joshua's retirement plan by maxing out. I think he's tired and wants out of the game anyhow. Joshua never wanted to fight in the U.S. In the first place but he's too much of a gentleman and a fine decent man to say no to Matchroom.

If Joshua's goal was to built his brand in and "conquer" America, he can't do that from England. He NEEDS to show he can do it HERE. Haters gonna hate regardless but if he beats Ruiz from England, there will be an asterisk on the victory and the haters will let him know it too. He's showing a warrior mentality - if he wants to leave no doubt, run it back in the States. Or even better...do it in Los Angeles, close to the champ's hometown. Thats what a G would do.

There would be an asterisk next to the win if it takes place in the UK? That would mean there's an asterisk on every win for an American over an overseas opponent.

You really didn't think this through did you.

The US doesn't haver any G's then because they refuse to travel. They're far too scared to do so.

If heavyweights are not ******, they cheer for Joshua to get titles back.

Joshua is the cash cow, that is why. I am sure it is better to fight Joshua for a few millions than Wilder or Ruiz ( Haymon fighters ) for...half a million dollars?

At this point I'll give AJ some credit. The reason he got KOd was Hearn lost control. Going back home for its advantages instead of upping his game is the easy way out.

So it's the easy way for every American who gets home advantage?

The first fight happened in the US, second fight should take place over here. It's only right.

Yea Joshua needs a ref that won’t let them fight close range moment they get near each other he breaking them up like ref was doing versus Parker also letting him call his own timeouts again

The ref only broke them up 5 times over 12 rounds. It favoured no one. AJ is the better inside fighter so it would have suited him more.

Let me know when a ref over here stops a fight with low blows like in the Ward fight.

The tape had come loose so AJ walked back to the corner to get it sorted. He didn't just call a time out out of the blue. The ref was going to instruct him to do so anyway. Unless you're saying the ref would have allowed to go on with the tape hanging down the way it was?

[Sid-Knee]

You sound ****** powers to be? He lost belts by tko after quitting he wasn’t robbed on scorecards... Hearn can succeed in us market by not putting on ****ty cards like he was doing when dazn first started and better advertisement for the app

You ironically call someone ****** even though you think AJ quit and got TKO'd at the same time.

Fury gets to call it on that level, he can fight Wilder in a London sewer if he wants. AJ has some atonement to do, this was his away from home, not in Kasas anymore moment. Personally, I want it in the UK so Andy can rep across the water. AJ is playing it right, ask for no quarter, but if Andy offers, that's alright. All Hearn has to do is come up with 50 mil.

[Sid-Knee]

When Fury beat Wlad can you imagine Wlad demanding the rematch in Germany LOL,
The champion should always have the home advantage especially as Ruiz was the underdog and won the belts.
Anything else is a punk move and will just result in fans saying well Joshua needed home advantage to Win.
MSG or no fight!

If the champ should always get home advantage, why then did AJ need to go to the US and to the challengers home soil?

Why then should any champ from another country have to go to the US all the time?

Why do Hearn and all of AJs nuthuggers act as if it was Ruiz who asked for the fight to be in the US. Hearn and AJ chose the US to expand AJs popularity but things didn't go their way and now are acting as if it was Ruiz who stacked everything against AJ to fight in the US
