If he was able to I would love to see Paul managed at a proper level to see if he is any good or not

If Joshua lands clean he has devastating power, see the FN knockout, best to date for me, FN is a machine!

Think Paul got more respect from me, YouTuber but he has some minerals, and has come on a LONG way!

Flip side to last nights boxing, Callum Simpson lost, but he was beaten by the better man in the night

You could definitely see AJ was always a foot away from actually landing.
But he certainly spanked him when he was allowed.
Broken jaw in 2 places
I think Paul certainly felt it and said wow when he did get clumped and put on his ass.

Joshua is a punching machine, very powerful man.

He has whats know as a glass jaw, look back at his fights and he has been rocked in nearly all of them but managed to recover in a lot. When you get to world level you need the LOT because it’s odds on the other person has

Heavyweight boxers are powerful men and anyone could lay the other out. The art of boxing prevents this unless they make a mistake. Fury is a boxer, a purist, his tactics are not the big overhand right like Wilder. To land a solid powerful punch you need a good wide stance to throw it from, watch Wilder as an example, bomb squad!

Most people have no experience of boxing. When they watch a fight they don’t understand what is actually happening. These are the same people that think fighters with 4/5 losses at world professional level are not good boxers. Or that you can win a world or Olympic amateur medal without being able to box.

So tonight ..
Just did a bit of searching and it seems that fury is actually more chinny than Joshua.
Personally think it’s a no win for Joshua what ever happens.
I think I would like to see it go the distance and AJ just jabbing his head off and putting him down in every other round.

I don’t think I will be staying up to watch it though…



Why is AJ considered chinny but Fury, Wilder and Dubois aren’t despite being knocked down and/or knocked out as many times as AJ has?

Fury has been knocked down by five fighters in six fights.

Wilder has been knocked down by three fighters in four fights and knocked out three times.

Dubois has been knocked down by three fighters in four fights and been knocked out three times.

AJ has been knocked down by three fighters in three fights and been knocked out twice.

All pretty comparable records but only one of them is considered as chinny and I don’t get why especially when you look at the records of the four fighter and AJ has fought top level opponents a lot more than the other three.

Tough division but Benn might have a chance, best performance by a very, very, long way last time out for me

He didn't make excuses. Anyone with a pair of eyes could see he physically wasn't right. Tbh I think the both of them are idiots, and neither are really world class

After the fight he ate humble pie which makes a change!

What I’m saying is, he can’t make excuses about weight, because he took the fights!

He won the first and got a lesson in the second, weight don’t come in to that

Exactly what I think, not sure why scozza is saying excuses Tbh. He hasn't said anything of the sort, but eubank was clearly carrying some sort of issue. Benn was decent, but he'll get found out against the best when he meets them.

Tell you what it was, those rights to the body, devastating shots, listen to the leather lol, everything else is excuses

Based on the first fight, I thought Eubank would do it again, but Benn adopted and was class, superb boxing skills, timing, slipping and feints

He wasn’t right from the first bell. Benn fought better but he wasn’t good enough to completely nullify every aspect of Eubanks game. Who knows what it was or if we will ever find out.
