Damn, Wilder-Joshua is great. They're both mediocre in skill, but AJ is at least huge and durable, and Wilder has uncanny, ridiculous power.

Bet ur house on Wilder.

They're not fighting each other, at least not yet.

Oh! I was totally duped!

Eddie Hearn, you got me. I shoulda known that he wouldn't put Joshua in that kind of heat so easily.

Having them on the same card but not against each other is ridiculous

Andrade has points if distinction from Plant. But it's still hard to imagine he can last 12 rounds. Benevidez has to either get Canelo next or move up to 175 and take on one of the many willing fighters there.

I think we might see something similar to Charlo vs Canelo where Charlo just ran after tasting the power. Andrade started at 154 and fought a few decent guys there and since then has been fighting C class fighters. He has good skill to survive so I expect him to just run around for 12 rounds.

Just like Canelo said, the guy just wants payday.

Credit to Andrade. This bum didn't run like a bitch like Jermell. On twitter there are a lot of weird ass Andrade fans that think the world of the guy despite him fighting nothing but cab drivers for 10 years. Dude didn't even fight enough cab drivers.

I'm glad we don't have to hear about this bum ever again. The guy can retire and be forgotten.

Andrade us a bum?

Relax.

There's just no excuse for Canelo to not fight DB. It will be a stain on his legacy if he doesn't.

Like, I can't think of too many other legends that would have such an obvious duck on their record. Floyd was a worse offender, of course, in that he just waited til dudes got old. But this for Canelo would just be flagrant.

Yea Canelo has to fight Benavidez next, that's the only fight left to make. The other Benavidez didn't belong in the ring with Charlo, but I get it Charlo needed a tune up fight after a long lay off but he did what he had to do. That PR Matias kid looks like he's going somewhere. He has nice power and I would like to see him fight a good name next, he called out a bunch of 140 guys so we'll see.

Who takes on Haney ? Teo might. He isn't afraid.

Tank though lol. Even the broadcasters tonight were kicking the idea Tank would take a fight like this.

The most likely guy is Paros who beat Montana Love on the undercard. I think Matias is fighting Teofimo Lopez next so perhaps Haney will fight the winner of that fight.

Tank doesn't fight anybody. I think once some nobody gets lucky and end up winning a belt at 147, Tank will move up to 147 and beat that guy and claim that he is now a 4 division champion or whatever.

March 9th in Saudi Arabia. NOW you could talk about it. :lol:

I'll believe it when I see it.

Unless Wilder looks really vulnerable, I think Hearn torpedoes this. Joshua looked pretty bad in his last.

Didn't watch, but...are you :censored:

kidding me, Deontay Wilder?!

cowboyronnie · Post #278 » by **cowboyronnie** » Sun Dec 24, 2023 1:09 pm

He looked predictably terrible. But no worse than ever. He lacks all basic skills.

Parker deserves a lot of credit, he was super brave and disciplined and had a great game plan.

The Dubois fight was the stand out. What a courageous, determined performance. Giving up 80 pounds! I can't even believe the level of fitness necessary to keep up the pace that DDD did.

The biggest loser of the night is Tyson Fury. The guy that Fury had a trilogy with looked like an amateur and the guy who almost beat Fury got dominated by AJ.
