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

[Roberto Vasquez]

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

How is Joshua washed up? The only guy he lost to and didn't avenge was Usyk. Fury was too scared to even fight Uysk. That is washed up.

And yes Wilder lost twice but he's still the same fighter. People say such dumb things. He's probably a better fighter for fighting Fury twice

The real issue is people expect AJ to be the monster he was once hyped up to be while he was beating low-level opponents. Same with Wilder. Too many casuals think boxing is a video-game where you can keep using the same move to win.

Even though he still seems timid and shy and I was rooting for the underdog, this AJ was better to watch than safe scared boxing to safe victory AJ. Helenius is a huge dude though he made him look small. After watching the card though I feel like they missed an opportunity and should have tried hard to get hrgovic for the main event. That would've been a good confidence booster.

A.J. was brilliant against a slick and fast moving Helenius. Incredible “lights out” power by Joshua. Loved the immediate outside the ring walk among the crowd and the chug-a-lug brew. He’s more than ready for Wilder.

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

Did you not just watch AJ go life and death with Big Bob for 7 rounds ?

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.

Any suggestion he could have got up from that is sheer bollocks. I was concerned he might be seriously injured and it was a relief to seem him up in the ring side by side with AJ for the official announcement.

Helenius sucks but he's orders of magnitude better than Junior Fa. Junior Fa got smoked by freaking 43 year old Lucas Browne last year.

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

True. Disciplined and brave is the right approach, I think.

who ever lands there right hand 1st has a KO ....regardless if wilder has a slighter bigger punch.
now all you wilderettes stop talking that wilder knocks out joshua ...tell him to sign the fight and see what happens lol

Now I get labeled a Wilderette. Sorry to get your vulva swollen with the comment. Didn't know it was going to strike a sensitive person like yourself.

I always said the AJ has the skills to beat Wilder but Wilder's right is legit.

Hopefully they fight since there is a lot of money and they can cash themselves out.

Big Bob rolled with the punch so it wasn't fully clean and the ropes helped cushion the fall.

To my eyes it wasn't the devastating knockout it appeared to be. It was a scheduled loss as AJ was pretty much headhunting all night knowing if he lands even half clean Bob would lie down.

There was definitely more on that shot than the one he took from Wilder that had him on the canvas for 10 minutes then off to hospital for the night.

Well played and well paid Bob. I'd imagine there's a more few guys keen on paying to make him fall over now too.

Parker would smash Helenius into another universe.

Even Fa and Browne would put Big Bob down. The guy is a live knockout waiting to happen with every bout now.

I'd be quite happy to never see Big Bob, Delboy, Fa and Browne ever set foot in the ring again.
