Chisora had that for me.

Then again he wasn't going to get the decision on an Eddie Hearn show...

No UK TV broadcaster wants their main event to start after midnight, most of the casual viewers will have gone to bed by now.
Oh come off it. You pay for boxing PPV you know full well it can go on until after midnight.

I wish you would make your mind up.

You say Sky and Matchroom are a joke for not thinking about the fans in the MEN and now it's the people who've paid money at home.

And how many 'casual' viewers have paid £20 to watch it ?

Precisely - plus these massive world championship fights are always late simply because they need to cater to the US market ...

Absolutely pathetic main event.

I hope Klitschko will end this awful Joshua reign, Hearn isn't interested in putting him with anyone decent thus far.

Despite a few on here suggesting this would be AJ's toughest test - Molina was a beaten man even before he entered the ring, he simply wanted out of there with his five senses still intact.

The guy looked like a midget taking on a giant ...

Interestingly according to well respected site boxrec Luis Ortiz who fought on the undercard is the number one heavyweight on the planet with AJ 2nd.

Great fight - pretty brutal and neither was prepared to be beaten. I think Whyte just shaded it as he had the cleaner punches and the lack of jab from Chisora has cost him yet again ...
Yeah that was my take on it. Chisora definitely won the power punch tally and how Whyte stood up to some of the barrages I'll never know. Just goes to show how hard AJ must punch. But really the fight could easily have gone any one of three ways and no-one would have felt cheated. If I had known in advance the fight was going to be that tasty I would definitely have paid for it. Credit to both men and they even seemed to bury the hatchet in the end.

The less said about the AJ fight the better. Molina looked terrified and will now just be a meme. The best part of course was the announcement at the end. Much as I loathe Eddie Hearn, that was a decent bit of promotion.

Bums fighting other bums. The heavyweight division is a complete and utter joke. Deluded people believing the Joshua drivel they are fed by the media.

What a fight the chisora v Whyte was. Could have easily been a draw. No idea what went on with the AJ fight. I was one of those who said he would be AJ's toughest fight but I was expecting the fighter who fought wilder, that one would have give him a good fight. unfortunately it seems Molina was paid to stand there and take it. Why a guy who went 9 rounds with wilder would be terrified of him I don't know. I like AJ but that was a joke.

Why ? Did you want to get to beddie byes ? Despite the obviously sexist undertones of your post ( bet 'your lass' knows her place ) why put the main event on before the undercard ? It's all about building up the excitement and tension. The White v Chisora beforehand did that perfectly. An absolutely superb warm up

I suggest you call up highly successful and multi millionaire Eddie Hearn and tell him he doesn't know what he's doing

Quite right and also well done Katie. She did fantastic to beat someone who was classed as well above the standard she should be fighting for her 2nd fight.

I was right; Whyte v Chisora should have been the main event!

I thought they were quite evenly matched, but I didn't think their fight would be that entertaining.

Both men come out of this with full credit, although it doesn't do much for either in terms of their progression.

Whyte showed he has heart, but when you consider that David Haye destroyed a younger & fresher Chisora almost five years ago, plus Tyson Fury totally outclassed Chisora a few years ago too show that Whyte still has work to do & that's assuming he hasn't plateaued.

Chisora also showed heart as he always does, but it's the usual story with him; take step in class & lose, although, it was close & some thought he deserved it, just like the Helenius fight.

As for Joshua, it's not his fault that they keep digging up corpses to put in front of him, but he really needs a true test.

How on Earth was Eric Molina, a man destroyed by Chris Arreola deemed to be worthy of title shot?

At least he will have a tougher test with Wladimir, but I'm not sure what Dr Steelhammer has left.

He looked old during his last 2 fights & by the time he fights Joshua, he will have been out for 18 months & he'll be pushing 42.

Whilst I agree with the vast majority of your post I disagree with the first line. Do you seriously think saying Dereck Chisora is your headliner would sell more box office passes than Anthony Joshua ? Joshua sells

No, I just being facetious because I am sick of mismatches being sold as so-called big PPV fights.

I don't think it should have been a PPV event. And as asked above, who else can Joshua fight ? Not a great division sadly

Really not a great believer in all that "because A can beat B and B can beat C, A should be able to beat C" line of thought. Let's not forget a very game Chisora took Vitali all the way while Haye was totally outclassed by Vlad. I'm pretty sure Whyte will work on keeping other fighters at arm's length though. Way too easy to hit on the inside.

And I too wonder what Vlad has left and that's what makes it so intriguing for me. Vlad is past his peak while AJ has yet to reach his. It's great timing and the first PPV I will buy since the MayPac snore-fest. I'm pretty sure the tickets will be priced way outside my price range, but I have one boxing contact that owes me a favour and might even go!
