Looking forward to Joshua vs Dubois. I want Joshua to keep his more spiteful style going. Fancy him winning by KO. I’ve backed rounds 4-6. But… these are both big guys and one punch could change it all. Undercard has not been great, hoping the main event delivers. Liam Gallagher up next though!

Only read the report but sounded like one dubious judge on the Buatsi fight

I'm thinking the same, around round 4 or 5.

AJ far too static and chest on. This is a performance, so far, like versus Ruiz. Dubois bossing and Eddie crapping himself.

Oh my. AJ over confident and boxed like a novice. Got steam rollered by a better fighter. Sorry Eddie, its the end of your cash cow.

Wow! Thought Joshua had him there. Credit to Dubois, brilliant throughout. But even more so after taking them two shots.
Joshua looked shell shocked and didn’t recover from the punch in the first round. Echoes of when Klithsko knocked him over. Difference here was Dubois didn’t take his foot off the gas.

I can't fathom that first knock down. It was a long over hand right that surely AJ should have seen, as it took relatively ages to land?

Yeah he didn’t seem to react. Dubois looked out of range for a lot of the first round, wonder if he thought he had it timed. He didn’t.

If you've a glass jaw,which AJ has, it doesn't matter how good your other weapons are there's no escaping the inevitable

Nah they were big hits, nothing to do with a glass jaw, his hands were too low and head too high, any boxer boxing like that against Dubois would have been knocked out today, granite chin or not.
Dubois was superb and AJ was useless, a deadly combination, really he didn't make the 1st count but saved by the bell really.

Been a massive AJ fan since he broke out, always want him to win, but Jesus did he get pummelled tonight.
Great to see a new young Brit absolutely dominate a former champion, will be watching everything that Dubois does from here! Lethal power in that jab!

That should be the end for AJ, but unfortunately it won’t be for as long as Hearn can milk his cash cow.

As the challenger, if AJ/Hearn does have a re-match clause then IMO it reconfirms how broken boxing is

Yes. AJ was the challenger and yet has a rematch clause. Hey ho.As the challenger, if AJ/Hearn does have a re-match clause then IMO it reconfirms how broken boxing is

Surely any promoter worth his salt will try and get his Boxer a rematch clause.As the challenger, if AJ/Hearn does have a re-match clause then IMO it reconfirms how broken boxing is
Record crowd last night, probably record receipts, if Hearn hadn’t got that clause in AJ should of sacked him on the spot.

Good decision then, especially as some of us thought AJ was going to win last night.

I believe the point being made was that as the challenger AJ shouldnt have a rematch clause.
