We will agree to disagree then, I've never said Fury was a great but I've always said he would beat Joshua as I never bought into all the media/marketing hype surrounding him created by Matchroom that elevated him into this UK based World Champion.Fury stays light on his feet and never sets his hips when he fights which allows him greater mobility and the ability to hit on the move and switch hit at will but at the expense of him having any great power to his shots. I have never said that Fury is nothing more than an accumulative fighter but still he has a stoppage rate of 68%. Now Fury is a c

Nice to see you posting again Bird, now care to answer my question I asked you two days ago ! So I will ask again what daft shit about Fury have I posted ? Thanks for your reply .

Joshua suffering from Panic attacks as well in the lead up to the fight being mentioned now ! That explains the Sports Pyschologist being brought in then . https://www.boxingforum24.com/threads/rumours-anthony-joshua-was-having-panic-attacks-weeks-before-the-fite.630646/

It's now a damage limitation exercise for Matchroom/Sky/Dazn and the marketing side of things .
-
At the end of the day Joshua lost and lost badly,Ruiz was dropped then came back to drop Joshua four times and got the win . Fair play to Ruiz he said he knew he could beat Joshua and he went in and done it. Let's see what comes next in the division.

Thing is when Miller brought it up about using TUE both Hearn and Joshua never denied it, then ironically Miller goes and dips for 3 different peds ! With Joshua,Hearn will be looking for any excuse for the loss so we may find out the truth in a while or not at all .
-
Wonder If he's also correct about the Nevada Testing and TUE ? Would explain a lot also. As for Joshua saying he didn't feel right in the sixth round he was more than likely suffering from concussion from the two knockdowns in the third.
-
Joshua should have fought outside the UK earlier in his career like most other fighters do but Hearn and Joshua had it too good over here with sold out Stadiums and then tapping into the PPV market. Hearn was adamant ,why should we travel ? Joshua is the unified World Champion ! Then the Povetkin fight did not sell out and the PPV numbers where also down, plus the fact that they could not find an opponent for the Wembley slot in April. So the decision was made to fight at MSG in America and we know what happened then .

Dillian Whytes take on the Joshua loss .

Always loads of stories following a big upset in Boxing. A few people also saying he was jet lagged , different time zone , rabbit in the head lights fighting outside the UK for the first time etc etc and quite a few more saying he should not have fought outside the UK. lol.There was also excuses before the Brezeale,Parker and Povetkin fights saying he was poorly , Joshua lost , now to see how he comes back from it.Ruiz said before the fight he always wanted the Joshua fight because of his flaws and they where flaws he could capitalise on. As for the rematch Im not so sure,Hearn has said it's

Come on lads this has been a good thread,don't let it go the way of all the other Fury Wilder Joshua threads on here . Joshua lost he won't be the first and he won't be the last ! I did feel for Joshua but not so for Hearn. Anybody else see Joshua’s dad having a go at Hearn in the ring at the end and Joshua having to step in ? We all have our own opinions so no point falling out with others because they have a different opinion .

What daft shit you on about Ray ? Thanks for your reply .

Brand Joshua , Atlas called it spot on ?

It's been mentioned for a long time that Joshua was just a big Bruno. Like I mentioned earlier tbh it's a shame he's lost before he got the massive fights with Wilder and Fury but what's more worrying is not the fact he got beat it's the fact he basically chucked it. Will Joshua even take the rematch ? Will Joshua even fight again ? If he does Hearn will want it in U.K. but Haymon will do his best to keep it in America. As for Fury v Wlad from a fans perspective it may have seemed boring,but to somebody who appreciates a boxer it was a very good performance and the game plan worked fine for t
-
If anything theres more chance of Fury being frozen out now. Haymon is advisor to both Wilder and Ruiz and he will be looking to capitalise on Joshua’s defeat and keep all them belts in America .
-
Cheeseburger chins the Bodybuilder ! tbh Im a bit gutted for Joshua but F Hearn ! He as Joshuas promoter should have had him fighting abroad from the start of his career not in his 23rd fight ffs !! Mark my words Haymon will be all over this, I know Ruiz has the rematch to fight if Joshua takes it but Haymon is Ruiz advisor and will be trying to make Wilder v Ruiz for all the belts to be in America. It might seem like an upset over here but It was predicted by a lot of Americans over on there forums as soon as the fight was made that Ruiz would not only beat Joshua but would stop him. Fair pl
-
Well Ive got to be first to say it “ First fight outside his own back yard” The big three is down to the big 2. ??? Get in there, found out before he even got to fight Fury or Wilder ? I cant wait to see Hearns next clip on Youtube ? I always said hed get beat off Fury and Wilder but tbh I could’nt see Ruiz doing it. Well done, the first Mexican Heavyweight World Champion ?.

Taylor was lucky to not get stopped in that last round, felt sorry for Persoon. Like I say for all Taylors skill she was out worked and out landed by Persoon who just never let. Bad decision . Josh Kelly was lucky to get a draw tonight.He might look good against lesser fighters but tonight he looked poor which I knew he would once he stepped up.
-
That Taylor result was a disgrace, Persoon was relentless. Taylor was walking in in straight lines taking shots and walking straight back out taking shots. For all Taylors skills Persoon out worked and out landed Taylor comfortably. A good fight but the wrong winner. Typical drivel from Sky pundits before the fight “Taylors a machine” blah blah. The reaction of both fighters at the end said a lot, Persoon knew she won that fight .

I agree as earlier in there careers all three of them where a lot more active when going through the divisions, maybe not as often once they where into 12rounders, but they where more active. Wilder had 9 fights in a year Fury had 8 fights in a year and Joshua had 7 fights in a year. Now there at the top level like I mentioned its 2 fights a year and all about there marketability and keeping ppv figures high and getting the most from sponsors, endorsements etc . Boxing is big business now so its easy to see why they do it but it is frustrating for fans .
-
The modern star boxers only fight 2-3 times max a year to keep there ppv figures high and its better for them when making deals with sponsors,endorsements etc. Its a resource that not many of the older fighters had and only a few of the modern fighters can tap into but it is a massive resource. There was a good post on one of the Forums about it,il see if I can find it .
-
I've gave myself one tbh mate,but that is basically it in a nutshell,the fans are still kept waiting unfortunately!

Hearn has been made to look a fool again and is under pressure from Dazn for not delivering the big Heavyweight fights he promised them. He started by making demands not deals and ignored the fact that Wilder is advised by Al Haymon the most powerful man in Boxing ! Wilder and his team where invited to meet with Dazn directly and Hearn was not even invited with Dazn trying to get Wilder to sign to a 100 million 3 fight contract. The deal was for Wilder to fight two Matchroom fighters then fight Joshua under there terms and conditions however the deal fell apart when Wilders advisers said the f

Wilder and Fury just signed up today to fight the rematch early 2020 . Rumours are saying it's a co promotion between PBC and Top Rank, the first co promotion since 2015 (Pacman v Mayweather).With Wilder fighting Ortiz in September it looks like we will all be waiting a bit longer to see the fight for the first ever five belt holder and the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion .

The op was asking for a sub12 pellet.With a sub12 .25 running at 11.5 ft/lbs H+N will be doing 508fps the heavier AA/JSB would be doing 452fps. Quite a difference and to get the best from .25 at sub12 you need the pellet travelling as fast as possible so your not lobbing pellets at the target. The pellets I mentioned for .25 pellet choice are for LW/HW barrels and as your using an FX gun that is why you prefer the AA pellets, thats why we have a different opinion . Different barrels, different ammo . Bowkett recommended to some shooters for sub12 .25 a JSB Exact lead free pellet that weighed
