Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua Scores Brutal One-Punch Knockout of Robert Helenius in Seventh

[champion4ever]

Congratulation to AJ on his decisive victory. It was expected and well-deserved. However, from my observations; I'm noticing that Anthony Joshua is no longer putting his combination punches together

He has not been the same fighter since that first Andy Ruiz fight. Now it appears, he tends to be a bit too gunshy by letting his hands go. It's almost like he is afraid of getting countered and hit.

I'm not sure he was getting up from that.

I'll say one thing for big Bob - he falls really well. Very satisfying when tall timber drops like that.

Yep...no one gets KTFO like Bob.

This. Joshua is washed up, but people still pretend like Wilder wasn`t knocked out by Fury twice.

Thats not true. People remember Wilder being knocked out. The difference being the nature of the KOs. Wilder got an accumulative clubbing showing courage under fire. AJ has never shown that. In a firefight...AJ doesnt throw enough punches to ward off Wilder....whereas Wilder has consecutively shown his one punch power. And while the shot that knocked out Helenius was a good one....it wasnt something that hasnt been seen before.

Aj was hesitant against this guy, just imagine how much he will be doubting himself in the ring with Wilder. I can't believe people are impressed with this performance.

Joshua really is shyte ...

As a fan of the sport, we should all hope for Fury-Joshua rather than wilder. An all uk heavyweight championship is HUGE for the sport. If you feed AJ to Wilder that will ruin a big fight. We need Fury-Joshua.

AJ could rematch Parker if he really wanted a challenge but he'd probably lose so that ain't happening.

Wilder could call Parker out too for the same reason and probably same result.

Polly come on, Parker too busy nuthugging Tyson to give anyone credible a fight nowadays

AJ let his hands go all of about 3 times in this fight, the rest of the time he wasn't turning over his punches, didn't really throw any combinations and looked hesitant throughout, Helenius was there to be hit from the opening bell.

He's so tentative Wilder will send him to the gulag so quickly it's outrageous, Wilder has a decent jab that disguises the right hand well when he chooses to use it.

And Heleinus was touching him frequently with his and he's slow as molasses in comparison Joshua will have to tighten up defensively real quick...

I don’t think you can fight timid and tentative and expect to beat Wilder.

Parker? Are you high? He's freaking horrible. Went life and death with Junior Fa.
