      I found it strange that more of the so called experts seemed to favour Joshua.

      83% polled for Joshua. Only one man went in the ring to win that. That was a beating really pleased for Daniel

      Josh just not a nasty piece of work. Need to go in there with almost animalistic attitude, snarling determined to beat the crap out of whoever stands in front of you. Massive chip on your shoulder help. Just don't see that with Josh.

      Joshua has lost belief in himself… since Ruiz chinned him he ain’t been the same..

      Danny fully deserved the win…

      Just not a real..for want of a better phrase..nutter. Put Mike Tyson in there and he'd probably punch his grandma into submission..red mist etc.

      Joshua has done well to win what he has and earn the money he has considering his natural boxing talent and drive is well below some of the other contenders.

      Eddie Hearn masterclass.

      DDD just a hard sell isn't he? Doesn't talk well, doesn't sell himself well. Needs a Paul Heyman character to do his talking for him.

      A promoters night mare but at least he has more validity now with the ownership of his 'world championship' belt.

      Made easy work of AJ who should have a long hard think before looking to trigger his rematch clause.

      Superb performance by Dubois, absolutely destroyed AJ.

      Joshua needs to F**k boxing off and head to Hollywood.

      All the sh*te he spoke at the sounded good but not really believable after what had just happened.

      Dubois needs to live in the gym and have another crack at Usyk.

      Still not totally convinced it was a low blow against Usyk. Fancy  Daniel in a rematch

      Yeah me and my brother were talking about that after the fight, he pulled his shorts up dead high joking about how Uysk wears his shorts which from recollection seemed excessively high in that fight.

      He was clearly hurt and took a breather.

      It was a low blow in the Daniel / Usyk clash - the still makes it look dubious but the punch was moving upwards. And when has Usyk ever needed to take a break? He has the greatest engine I've ever seen at heavyweight, always overwhelming in rounds 9-12. He won every round against Dubois, outclassed him and knocked him out. There is no controversy as Warren would like everyone to believe.

      There is a clip to be seen on youtube where Fury slaps Usyk on the back after the Dubois victory and says something like ' you schooled those two guys.' Yeah, but he schooled you too!

      AJ was awful in this fight. Hands held low, chin in the air - a novice knows better. I don't know what he was trying to do, I don't know the strategy. Was he trying to lure him in for the counter? Too dangerous against a big puncher surely? Especially when AJ's chin isn't exactly Hagler level.

      Pretty clear at this point that Uysk is the best of this generation. We will know more in December, intrigued to see if Fury can find a way. If Usyk wins as decisively again it's beyond argument.

      Yeah his defense was all over the place. Couple of times wasn't even defending himself. AJ should've been cautious in the first half of the fight, tight defense, maul him when in fighting. Was probably his worst showing in the ring.

      Only stay in the game for another pay day and could 'go over' within 4 rounds.

      I'm guessing the blood stained money from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is here to stay, and Warren and Hearn have today said that these kind of high profile fights just wouldn't happen without the $audi sport washing cash....that's probably true, but do we really need the Saudi National anthem sang pre fight?....Not for me....We'll be getting it at Newcastle home games next.

      This ridiculous dance show before the Beterbiev fight is so irritating. Why not get two art critics on and have them discuss Van Gogh - has the same amount of relevance.

      Had it 115-113 Bivol.

      116-112 Beterbiev seemed harsh but I guess it all comes down to preference when fights are this close, gutted for Bivol. Hope we can get the rematch soon in Vegas or somewhere.

      It’s a shame these fights are being held in front of audiences that are just there for the pre fight party and for the show as opposed to the big boxing fans

      Need to get big fights back into Madison , Cesars Palace, Wembley for the Brits

      During the generally tedious build up to Fury/ Usyk 2 I found something interesting. Usyk offered Fury a photo to sign - it was a still of the straight left that was about to knock Fury down before he was saved by the ref and the ropes. I thought it was interesting because Fury signed it with genuine ease and a straight forward laugh, and I thought it an unusually obnoxious move from Usyk.

      I really want him to knock him out now! I don't know if that is possible when Tyson has deluded himself about the first fight, at least on record. He seems so confident though despite the emphatic loss.
