----------------------------------------------------------------------
Heard Hearn say the day after the fight. But he said plenty of times right after the fight that AJ will think about activating the clause.

So I think Hearn is talking $hite saying there is no clause now, I suspect that they dont want the rematch and if they say they have no clause people dont call AJ for ducking the rematch.

Why are fans always so quick to pull out the 'retirement' card?

There are still a number of fights for AJ I think could be interesting to fans - vs Miller, vs Whyte, vs Joyce even. If you're saying you wouldn't watch them, I don't believe you're a real boxing fan.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I wouldn't watch AJ vs Miller/Whyte or Joyce.


----------------------------------------------------------------------
You watched AJ V Franklin
----------------------------------------------------------------------
AJ hadn't been knocked spark out by Dubois at that point.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
KOs are part of the sport its one of the biggest reasons why heavies are the favoured weight by the viewers. It was two massive punchers, a big KO was the most likely outcome for either fighter and certainly not a reason to stop watching either of them.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
My interest in seeing AJ fight has certainly lowered and it's logical. This isn't a young fighter, it's a guy who has achieved everything in the sport but against Dubois, he didn't look sharp,hungry or skilled enough.

why should Dubois have to fight Joshua again
It wasn't even a close fight

rematches should only happen after a close first fight
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Exactly. And since when does the challenger get an immediate rematch against the World Champion straight after getting comprehensively beaten and destroyed by the Champ ? It doesn't happen and I can't think of a single example where that's happened before in the history of boxing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
since the champion signed a contract to allow it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is where rematch clauses need to be better controlled and regulated then as this rematch would be a first in boxing history.

No way should a challenger get a second bite at the cherry straight after getting annihilated by the Champion. It's never happened before and shouldn't be happening now.

i can get lowered but to just swtich off on the back of a big KO which was always the most likely outcome for either fighter.

I agree he looked off AJ, but then again he was clipped heavily in the first round so good chance that affected him a lot for the rest of the fight.

I say if they rematch they do bigger numbers a second time. I think there would be more demand for the rematch than the original fight.

I do agree, but it is what it is. Usually its the bigger name that gets it installed as they have more power in the negotiations but then again the smaller fighter loves them also as it will mean even more money again.

I highly doubt that this is the first time a challenger has had a rematch clause.

AJ gets smashed up even worse in a rematch I think. That ref did everything to help AJ and the fight could and maybe should have got stopped earlier than it did. Plus AJ will have serious PTSD going into a rematch having got KO'd in such brutal fashion. That type of punishment leaves a mark, especially psychologically.

I think Dubois stops him even earlier next time and maybe hurts him even worse. Would be a terrible decision by AJ to take this immediate rematch and hopefully he sees sense. It's difficult with vultures like Eddie Hearn around you who are more concerned with making a dollar than for a fighter's wellbeing.

maybe, I think people are forgetting that AJ got caught right on the chin in the first round and how much of an effect that had on the fight.

I think the fight is much more competitive in the rematch.

AJ caught DDD with a huge shot and hurt him, AJ got too carried away due to him being battered prior, rushed in when it as too early and got sparked.

Like I said we all put our enjoyment before the fighters wellbeing otherwise we wouldnt watch.

AJ got caught on the chin in most rounds as I remember. It's because DDD went at him like a bull in a china shop and kept targeting that AJ chin. It didn't happen by chance. Was a cold, calculated strategy from DDD and Don Charles that AJ didn't have any real answers for.

na I watched fight back last night. 1st round he gets caught flush right on the chin with a huge punch.

Round 2 he takes some hits and looks unsteady but its a scrappy round with a lot of holding.

Round 3 was again scrappy neither impressed, until the lsat minute of the round where DDD puts it back on him and drops him heavily again with the ropes holding up AJ.

Round 4 DDD putting it on AJ again and drops him again but signs that DDD is just starting to gas a little and AJ actually comes back and catches DDD with a big uppercut and DDD starts going backwards. AJ actually ended that round with confidence.

Round 5, cagy start but AJ defo thinks he is starting to turn the tides, seems to finally be back in the fight a bit. He catches DDD with big shot and DDD looks unsteady and goes backwards. AJ gets too giddy and thinks he is ready to put the hurt on, has an exchange with DDD, didnt take note of that shot and still carelessly pushes forward and then lights out.

AJ got caught flush on the chin because he can't defend himself properly. Never has been able to

Didn't take a step back, just had his hands down, chin in the air and moved his head back a bit

Was amateurish really

It was no fluky punch

Yup definitely no fluke. DDD was targeting that chin and it was only a matter of time before he tagged AJ.

Hearn and the AJ fanboys insisting that it would be a different fight if only Dubois decided not to punch AJ is very funny indeed .

I don't need to search for anything, look yourself. And you yourself have just alluded to it by saying:

"I think people are forgetting that AJ got caught right on the chin in the first round and how much of an effect that had on the fight".

You're saying it had a big effect effect on the fight and you're therefore heavily insinuating it would have been a different fight if not for AJ getting tagged in the first round.

Im saying that AJ's performance was most likely altered due to being caught by a huge punch bang on the chin in the 1st round. Thats certainly aint no fanboyism

The way Joshua approached that fight, I think he would have got caught at some other point anyway if it hadn't have been the end of the first round. If anything it could have come earlier in that round and been a much shorter fight. AJ just looked awful and the approach/game plan was all wrong. I heard AJ talk at the presser before the fight how he could end it a number of different ways. Perhaps he got into his mind that he could string out the fight and systematically outbox Dubois. Probably underestimated him a lot. Aside from that, his chin doesn't particularly hold up to scrutiny.

possibly, it could have been arrogance in AJs part also, thinking he could just feel his way into this fight.

He made loads of mistakes in that fight, I have no idea what he was thinking backing off onto those ropes in rnd 1 not expecting anything when he got dropped.

I do think AJ massively underperformed in that fight, however DDD will also take massive confidence from that fight now and will feel unstoppable.

I haven't said anything remotely unreasonable.

So you're agreeing with me that the outcome of the fight would have been the same whether or not AJ got tagged in that first round. Well done, you got there in the end.
