Wilders doesn’t even seem sure he’s going to fight again while speaking to the guy in the ring, not sure why he was raising his hand for the win surely he knew he was ****

Mantis Toboggan

Wilder is finished, doesn't have the heart for it anymore. Has a decent jab but we didn't see it. Didn't even resort to his usual wild sequence of punches, all very mundane, predictable and and very easy nights boxing for Joe.

I think that’s the first time parker hasn’t switched off during a fight

Wilder should retire... but he has about 8 eight kids with about four or five different women... that's a lot of mouths to feed. He'll be in a ring again.

The pace was very slow.

He also looked fitter than ever.

Andy Lee is doing a good job.

Wilder was just so poor I’m not sure it even counts.

GHendrix

Everyone throws their hand up at the end in the hope the judges will save them.

Worked well for Wilder back in Fury 1

Agree with Wilder likely being finished. He wasn't at the races at all in that fight. Parker has had a great year and if this card was part and parcel of nailing down AJ's next opponent? Well Parker will give him a test.

AJ needs to lay down a marker in his fight. He's been very laxadaisical for since even before the 1st Ruiz loss and Usyk made him look very poor IMO. A serious lack of heart in those fights. AJ has the power, he has the tools but does he still have the desire? His aggression needs to be unleashed, he needs to let his hands go and use his athleticism to dominate.

Thelonious Monk

Always liked Wilder was a shame to see him look so bad. Parkers a good guy though and Andy Lee.

I hope this swede gives AJ a decent fight at least but I doubt it.

Andy Ruiz is supposed to be the same height as Tony Bellew.

A nice AJ decision here please for a very €€€€ Christmas.

He’s 6 feet max.

Tony 6 feet 2

It’s a pity the Usyk v Fury fight isn’t in the UK or LV after watching this tonight atmosphere wise.

Wallin gets a lot of credit for being beaten well by Fury.

All this Saudi deference is weird!!

evolvingtipperary101

Is Joshua about ten pounds heavier than usual? Thought he was around 240 for the Uysk fights?

Be interesting to see what power he has with that weight.

Thelonious Monk

Yeah what an absolutely brutal atmosphere, boxing has sold its soul to these Saudi weirdos.

I'm loving Otto's ring entrance music though, it was no. 1 when I was born.

Yes. Heavier than for the second Usyk fight, but he has been high 240s and 250s before. 255 v Franklin

dasdog

The Saudi praise is nauseating. Before every fight since I started streaming. They have no class - it would make Qatar blush.

Great timing wise for us though, means we're not staying up until stupid o clock just to watch the fight.

evolvingtipperary101

So strange seeing Ben Davison in Joshua's corner...😂

Sandor Clegane

Everything feels forced at a Saudi event, they come across as very insecure, need to be praised every five minutes, nothing is genuine about any of these events everything feels forced, dull and flat...at the end of the day they're a totalitarian state trying their hardest to present themselves as something they're not.

Mantis Toboggan

Anyone giving Wallin a chance here?
