Had some issues so haven't been logging on and missed this thread.
Initial observation on some really good posts above, how can Mujtahido not rate Usyk! Opinions! Love them!
Anyway.. was really looking forward to this card, was debating whether to go or not, but boxing in my opinion, unless it's small hall, sort of up to about 15,000 seems better on TV. Have been to Wembley a couple of times for the boxing but with all my issues during the last few weeks it was better to watch indoors.
Initial observations were that the entire card started way too early meaning an hour gap between the Co and Main Event. This sort of seemed to kill it a bit.
Liam Gallagher was shocking and I can imagine a lot of people will be flogging Oasis tickets about now.
Empty seats for the well to do seemed prevalent which was a shame.
I missed a lot of the card as I didn't realise it started so early and I was still cooking and eating and tidying up after the football.
But yeah Sheeraz looked powerful and that fight was only going one way.
Joshua didn't look at the races at all. Nothing more to really add about the fight than mentioned above. Personally I didn't have a dog in the fight so I'm pleased for Dubious.
Will Joshua retire? No way.
Will any current boxer retire at the moment? No way.
While the Saudi money is sloshing around they'll all become Prizefighters. Like Chisora, Warrington, Whyte, Baby Miller, Wilder, etc. Chase the money.
I so think Usyk is decent but nothing more.The problem with me is that i was brought up on heavyweights like Ali Frasier Foreman and so on.Truly great fighters who could give and take punches and fight for fifteen rounds.Usyk was considered a complete bum before he fought Joshua.I suppose you can only beat what's in front of you and it's difficult to make comparisons with fighters from different eras but i just can't get excited about today's crop.Can you imagine what Mike Tyson would have done to either of those two last night or even Lenox Lewis
