Missed it but Ortiz stopped him in 6.

Cracking fight this. Chisora has had Whyte wobbled two three times. If his stamina was better he'd be able to finish him but he fades every time.

Shame you lads in US watching Showtime aren't getting this.

They are giving filler a new definition. Over an hour now. Now replaying AJ and Breazeale in it's entirety.

Last round and both going for it. Tight fight.

That was entertaining fight. Haye commentating thinks it is a draw. Both fighters gave it their all.

finally...

I thought Chisora won that. There was a round the 8th or 9th that Chisora stood in the corner for a long period and caught Whyte with nearly everything he threw and Whyte wasn't landing but Haye and Froch were saying how well Whyte was doing and I was thinking whether they were watching the same fight! Even during the break on the replays it showed Whyte missing and Chisora landing and they repeated it while watching the evidence back!;D

Should Chisora have got two knock downs in the last round? Whyte was kept up by falling in to the ropes!

I've been out tonight, so I've just got back to listen to 5 Live .I have to say I never expected that to go 12 rounds. Sounds like they gave it their all. But I won't know till I see it if that means Chis is better than I gave him credit for, or if Whyte is worse?

What is it, like 2 am over there?

Molina isn't going to know what hit him.

They seriously need to keep AJ off the weights.

It's a bit of both I think, Whyte definitely can be hurt and not just by Joshua. And if Chisora wants it and has the focus he can turn it on.. It was a tight fight and you couldn't have argued if it had gone the other way. Chisora was banging till the last bell but looked exhausted from about the 5th onwards. If his stamina was better he could've finished Whyte I reckon as he had him wobbled a few times...

12 o clock and I am tried they said this was going to be on at 11 but they lied and wanting it later for the USA audience.

AJ is cautious but doing well.

Molina looked downright meek in the 1st.

Molina throwing more paunch than punch. Zero zip nada coming at Joshua.

Haye rubbishing Molina already cheeky cunt said this was a mismatch.

Bet AJ deliberately does a lot of rounds.

Molina has a sneaky, lunging counter right hand. If he manages to land it, at least he'd give AJ some pause. Maybe.

Wow. He's literally turning and covering up in the corner.

Oh boy...

Ok, enough punching bags. Time to bring AJ a real opponent.

Time to go back to teaching, I guess..... :-X

Hopefully we'll see Joshua v Klitschko next year then, its definitely a big money maker, and for me its two of the heavyweights I like and respect. We won't have any of that crap as Whyte and Chisora had in the build up. The big fight doesn't need selling, everyone would be queuing up for it.

Well, he certainly got schooled tonight so should have a bit more experience for the classroom having had a real lesson tonight.

Seriously expected more from Molina, he looked petrified. AJ could've blown him out 1st round if he wanted it,

AJ talks sense and is a likeable guy.

Wlad is next.

Just announced AJ vs Klit 29th April at Wembley

Great way to announce that fight!

Wlad vs AJ in April!!

I've never heard Wlad speak so much. ;D

He looked totally out of character trying to pump up the crowd asking for their fight.
I'd have to say he didn't look as robotic as he usually does. ;D

All in all, the post-fight wrapup, including Deontay's reaction in the studio, provided more entertainment than the blowout of a fight that preceded it.

All in all a good night of boxing. Yeah Molina was pathetic but we all expected that, the Klitschko announcement softened the blow. I bet Eddie walked to the ring with a boner knowing he was going to be asked who's next.

Chisora Whyte put on a cracking fight and it could have gone either way. I thought it was going to be a farce to be fair, very pleasantly surprised. Whyte is taking his boxing very seriously and all credit to him. It's obviously having a positive affect but I think he's lost a touch as well in terms of strength, he doesnt seem to hit that hard. He might as well drop the body snatcher moniker as well, he does punch well to the body but it's with no great consistency.

Kal Yafai was the star of the show for me. He ran rings around Concepcion, dominated every round and basically did what he wanted when he wanted to.

Ortiz Allen was as expected. I thought Allen would see the end but the horrendous cut in his mouth probably made breathing quite difficult. Im concerned about Allen. He's a tough cunt and obviously has a head made of granite which is a fantastic attribute to have, but you kinda have to learn how to hit the other guy back a bit. He needs to find some direction in his career and someone to guide him. He trained in a fitness first apparently. On the plus side his training expenses for the fight probably came to 20 quid. With a handful of fights under his belt he's already heading down the road of punchbag.

Wlad can not pull the trigger anymore and will hug all night.

Still a massive fight and step up for AJ.

Wlad maybe robotic and have a horrible fighting style but he still seems like a lovely guy..let him have this shot.

Thoughts from tonight:

The Chisora/Whyte fight was a true slugfest. Had Chisora not got winded in the later rounds it could have been a classic. In a fight this fight I always like to think who'd I rather had been? The answer is pretty clear in that I'd rather had been Chisora as he was ringing Whyte's bell all night. Therefore, if anyone should have got the edge in this fight it should have been Chisora.

Next, just as I said all week, Molina is a total can and it's a disgrace that Joshua fought him. Also, this fight did nothing to prepare him for the Klitschko fight so why take this fight anyway? I'm going to favor Klitschko in a close fight simply because I don't think Joshua has the experience against top heavyweights that he needs to outpoint a focused Klitschko. When he comes in like does on all these B and C-level fighters he will taste Klitschko's power and will not know what to do. He's lucky Klitschko is far past his prime or I'd give him no chance at all.

So is Whyte going to be fighting Wilder next year? He won't last very long with that weak chin.

Klitschko may well play spoiler and beat Joshua, but credit to Joshua for stepping up and I feel he will beat Wlad at this stage.He's far less experienced, but every bit as talented as Wlad ever was. Let's not pretend he'd have no chance in their respective primes. FFS Wlad was getting stopped by a couple fringe contenders early in his prime until he came back and made some smart adjustments.

That wasn't his prime. When Emmanuel Steward taught him how to fight that was his prime and no one came close to beating him.

Joshua probably isn't in his prime either right now so if he gets toasted I won't hold it against him.

Klit will be stopped from holding so josh will win

Interesting take on primes. I've come to like and respect Wlad, so fair play, but he hasn't fought anyone as talented as Joshua ever. He's 40 now on top of it.

AJ has not gone more than 7 rounds v Wlad, a 41 year old who will not have fought in nearly 18 months by the time they fight.

Passing of the torch v Grand master teaching his pupil a lesson.

Hope you're right, Joshua will have to learn how to push!

Tyson Fury launched another rant at boxing's heavyweight division following Anthony Joshua's victory over Eric Molina.

The Brit was one of a number of big names at ringside at Manchester Arena for Joshua's latest IBF title defence.

Joshua saw off Molina inside three rounds to hold on to the title he won after Fury was stripped of his belts following a positive drugs test.

Elsewhere, the big fight of the night saw Dillian Whyte defeat Dereck Chisora in a memorable slugfest.

Fury hailed the duo for their bout but hit out at the sport as a whole and its title-holders.

Fury added: "Boxing is a total joke, glad I left it. Life experience though, between robberies & promoters robbing fighters, it's a s*** sport. True facts!"

His comments come after Wladimir Klitschko, who Fury was due to face before his failed drugs test, was confirmed as Joshua's next opponent.

Earlier this year, Fury appeared to announce his retirement on Twitter, before backtracking several hours later, although his future remains unclear.

Fury then turned his attention to promoter Eddie Hearn and Matchroom, claiming he was poorly treated at the Manchester Arena.

He walked into a mixed reception from the crowd as he took his seat ringside and has revealed he had to pay £200 for a ticket.

The Brit went on to confirm he left the venue after watching his cousin Hosea Burton in action.

"Treat me like s*** tonight, had to pay £200 for a ticket, then I had 2 nearly fight to get ringside. p*****"

Tyson Fury launches rant after Anthony Joshua victory over Eric Molina - 'boxing is a s*** sport, I'm glad I left it'

Poor Tyson

He's got a mental illness dont you know.

I was driving through the northern quarter in Manchester city centre on Sunday at about 130pm/2pm, on my to get a curry from Hunters, when I passed Eric Molina standing outside a hotel. He looked like he was waiting for a taxi, a couple pulled up but he and his mates didn't get in

One thing that struck me was that he didn't look that big, I don't think he would tower over me although I didn't get close, and his face was unmarked as far as I could see

I did take a picture but I am finding it hard to upload it from my phone

I sat outside the curry house whilst my 11 year old son ran in and picked it up for me, we were on double yellows you see.

My curry was very nice just as expected but the disappointing thing was that they forgot to pack my naan bread
