Watched it again.
Was surprised.
I thought watching it the first time, that Wlad should have finished it, and that he let AJ off the hook.
I thought the same when I thought Dillian Whyte had rocked him.
I think it's just wishful thinking from people (like myself) wanting to see AJ lose.
Yeah, he was hurt, but while he took a couple of good shots in the 6th after he was down, if you watch AJ, and not Klit, you can see his evasion is pretty good.
At times I thought he was exhausted, punch-drunk, and cocky with his chat with Wlad.
Watching it again, he knew what he was doing.
He's going to be hard to beat - for anybody
But saying that, I think Ortiz is the next guy I want to see AJ fight.
But after 90,000 at Wembley, why would you pick a tricky Cuban of an unknown age, who has no box-office...
If they did fight, I think Ortiz could give him a lot of trouble. The way he schooled Jennings was way more impressive than what Wlad did against the same guy
I guess with Hearn controlling Ortiz, it's kind of safe, because there'll be rematch clauses forever
Clever by Hearn to buy an extremely dangerous opponent
I honestly thought Pulev was at Parkers level, but I hope I'm wrong - that would be bad for Parker after watching Pulev's last 3 fights since he lost to Klit.
Similar size to Pulev against the giants.
I'm a huge Parker fan, but I have to wonder how he'd do against a T.Fury with a 216cm reach, even when he's fat.
Watching Lennox smash Tua repeatedly with his superior reach, did a lot of damage to the hopes of the smaller guys.
If a Mike Tyson came along now, to beat a fit and motivated 6"9 T.Fury, it would blow my mind.
