Should not have let him have that round. Terrible knockout. A pool of blood seeped out around his face on the canvas. Was very worried there. Glad he is ok and that's what matters.

I like both fighters (AJ and Wilder), but it seems AJ's closing the door on a possible fight down the road before negotiations even begin. I wonder why that is.
Wilder turned down $4 million to face Whyte, bear in mind he got $2 million against Ortiz, but even taking 10% cut against Joshua will beat his career best high payday.
Lots of people rubbishing the win because of Brownes shape, incredible how little boxing most fans watch if it doesn't take place in America. Browne was no different to he always is.
Incidentally it was again the left hook from Whyte that popped him. No right hand Whyte (upstairs at least)
My problem with Browne is that I hadn't seen him since before his ban so I admittedly couldn't really remember how he looked before that.Quote:

Oh and Joshua is a straight right ducker pussy, every caller agreed on that.
Wilder is going the way of Spinks, career high pay day and retires after he loses.Quote:

Well its pretty evident that Lucas Browne was shot.
Whatever he had in the past had long gone , fat slow and no technique , many novice HWs would have defeated him tonight.
Whyte beat what was in front of him , but lets be honest he didn't beat much.
Lucas Browne looked like an old man on dodgy knees. Plotting around stiff legged while pawing and throwing half punches. To be honest, I never saw the guy before as hes never been given any time over here and any curiosity raised for me was kind of snuffed out by the doping allegation. I don't think it really detracted from Whytes performance. There were a few times that Whyte was going to the well once too often with the same punches and looked a tad predictable but that's because he had the luxury of trying to telegraph a highlight KO because he browne who couldn't hurt him and was practically out on his feet lumbering after him creating opportunities. I don't think Whyte is an unstoppable force but he certainly showed he was paces above browne.
Wilder wont fight him because he knows Whyte's smart enough to see the counter opportunities if he misses and quick/ aggressive enough to capitalize on them. There's always a chance that Whyte misjudges the distance (as many have in the inside ring) and fail Wilders obvious 1,2 litmus test, drops like a sack of doorknobs and then spends the rest of his time in there snake bitten and on the retreat. Whyte's not there but has the potential to become Wilders Kryptonite (an aggressive jabber with fresher legs and head movement, that will keep Wilder from planting his feet; while at the same time setting himself up to punch from the mid range where Wilder's leverage drops off.)
