Tonight Eddie wins not only with a packed 02, but enough upsets in the card to show it was more evenly matched, 2 unreal fight performances in eubank and AJ, bomber back in the frame, two losses for Campbell and mitch making the next fight for them too easy to make, dw putting up enough for the public to want to see him again
Maybe Eddie was right it was a fantastic night of boxing and well worth the money,
Is AJ ready for Fury? Probably beats him now but not quite ready in my opinion to be world heavyweight champion. A good 3-5 fights away from a title shot then it's got to be Wembley Stadium in summer 2017 that's if TF still holds a title. And that's a big if though. Most likely outcome is AJ fighting the winner of the IBF belt late next year
Shame Whyte lost. There's no maybe if Joshua threw shots after the bell.
Shit happens in boxing it wasnt late enough to disqualify or even take a point it the bell came during an exchange wjyte knew what he was doing also gave him longer to recover from a heavy shot
Eddie ain't happy, like Campbell should be winning them fights, read into that luke sort it out don't do that again
he is reaping the benefits of too many soft fights. Different skill set banging out journeymento dealing with experienced campaigners who are hitting back. Other than Coyle he hasn't had a live opponent since the gold. Shocking scoring, thought it was a 5+ split
Did they show Paulie on the telly? Probably enjoyed that most, great footwork though some bizarre home scoring. Some surprisingly good matches, but I'd argue Campbell, AJ and junior just chewed through what should have been easier tasks, due to durable opponents. O2 was full of vermin. Some of the pish coming out of people's mouths was hilarious. You get more insightful boxing analysis on CBeebies than listening to the people in a big hall show
Worth every penny of my hard earned cash! Those mocking this ppv got it completely wrong! Great evenings entertainment and a lot better than the shite down the road earlier. AJ if he carries on like he is in & out of the ring will be a great role model to the youngsters out there.
Joshua looked mustard, saying that, he took way too many shots and looked vulnerable in the second
Took the big hit well though and then changed his tactics
Would be worried if he came up against one of the big punchers in the division though. Looked class throughout otherwise, definitely a future world champ... Be interesting to see where they go with his next fight. What a great night of boxing, well done Eddie Hearn!

Paulie was up first around 1720 I think I only saw him when I played it back, great fight, Campbell showd he has little power that will cost him Imo,

I don't think the bad blood between Joshua and Whyte was just pre fight hype. They clearly don't like each other
