Who are we on here?

I have never rated Joshua but I don't know if I can pass up this value relative to the odds last fight. Joshua is going to be much more considered and cautious. Ruiz has put on a lot of weight while Joshua has lost a lot. Joshua will be a lot quicker this time hopefully.... as opposed to being extraordinarily slow as he usually is.

I'm on Joshua to win and Joshua to win by decision. 2 separate bets very small because like I said I have never really rated Joshua.

Value there I think.

    If only every fight went to plan like that. Joshua still unconvincing tho. To even debate him beating Fury or Wilder is silly. Almost as silly as Boris Johnson being prime minister.

    Cant see AJ beating someone like Tyson or Wilder. Although Wilder wasnt that impressived vs ortiz. Apart from his power punch.

    Spot on with bet though. Wasn't an easy fight.

    Wilder would knock out Joshua for fun, probably countering from a clinch if AJ made it that far.

    Its not silly at all... Wilder is probably the worst heavyweight champion in history from a technical standpoint he literally has to land that big shot or he loses. Vs ortiz a washed up 40 year old drug cheat who can no longer cheat because of the amount of tests he has to take he lost every single round until he landed one punch.... In there 1st encounter ortiz almost stopped wilder.... ortiz does not hit as hard a joshua (joshua has the 2nd highest ko percentage in history behind wilder) but you are dreaming if you think wilder with his padded record runs away with this fight. He has to land to beat joshua or he loses on points he also needs to not let joshua land or he could be wiped out.

    Tyson fury - great technical boxer but a light joshua like last night causes him all sorts of problems. Fury struggles vs speed and one two combos.... he was flattened by a cruiserweight steve cunningham who has knocked out less than a third of his opponents... joshua is not only the second hardest hitter in the heavyweight division but he throws multiple shots.... unlike wilder.... Joshua would cause Tyson Fury a ton of problems that he has not faced before.

    Take a very very close look at all three of there records.... Joshua has by FAR the superior opposition in way less fights. Apart from Klitschko who has fury actually beat? Joshua stopped him.

    Wilders record is actually laughable he has beat a bunch of washed up 40+ year olds avoided klitschko and won the title against bermaine stirvine.... who 1st time around he could not stop.... He did manage to stop him the 2nd time however after Stiverne had technically retired and stopped training.

    Scratch beneath the surface of these fighters a little and Joshua by FAR has the outstanding resume and pedigree.

    Make no mistake last night was a masterclass from the ONLY heavyweight in the division who can be a Knockout artist or a world class boxer dependent on the opponent

    Joshua has fought better opponents than Wilder more consistently no doubt but he's no dominant champion. His defence just looks iffy to my eye and I think Wilder would get through enough to land hard, and comfortably win by KO.

    But let's face it boxing is a bit of joke and I'd be surprised if we saw any of these fights anytime soon, if ever.

    We will see these fights. Next year will be an even better year for the heavy weight divison.
