Times like this I wish Stafford were around, so I could laugh at him for saying that AJ would stop a prime Frazier inside of 2. Joshua ended up being closer to Bruno level than Lewis level. In fact, I'd pick Bruno.
Once again a la Clenelo vs Ryder, this is an obvious affair. Josh back on the extra-strong porridge to bash up this little guy in "spectacular" style so he can expunge the bad smell of the Usyk debacle in Arabia.
Lots of coverage in the UK trying to convince people that this is a worthwhile exercise. It isn't. Joshua will win and look a million dollars doing it, but it should fool no-one. We know now what Joshua is, and what he isn't. MTF
Tony Balloo:- "Kal will know he's a level above these guys". Yes. I should imagine that's a recurring theme on an Eddie Hearn card.
Dillian Whyte :-....... "i want revenge!! I want revenge" Belloo: "AJ.... Urm...." Whyte:- "i went from being knocked out to fighting undefeated fighters.... He should too!!"
"Gervontay" Davis. Hearns like those guys trying to sell a cleaning product at a local fair. "old silver, your grannies dentures, your dogs dish, dirty bottoms, the works"
Wardley has gassed before. The way he's reaching here and not landing again suggests it's on the cards here too.
Another Wardley fix. Fuck off. Coffee defending himself adroitly. Ref stops it. Fuck off. Where's the rule that says you must punch back when the guy is missing and his attack has petered out into slaps and blocked shots?? They know Flabbio Fraudley can't hack it because they're giving him ten rounders and looking for a reason to end it when the going gets hard . These fights are basically fixed and the guys watching it and calling it don't say a fucking word and just prance about the edges with some prosaic bullshit. Belloo knows the game. He's blaming the referee for stealing Wardleys thunder. The ref has done Wardley a disservice , goes the reasoning. The gaslighting that goes on is something else.
