    Anthony Joshua wins by unanimous decision!
    The official scores of 118-110, 118-110 and 119-109 were wider than the Guardian’s unofficial score of 115-113, but Joshua is the winner. The 28-year-old now holds three of the four heavyweight title belts.

    Load of ****e. Both their faces looking way too fresh after 12 rounds of a heavyweight contest.

    Reckon the ref was under orders to break it up anarl.

    Money, Money, Money!!!!
    Yet time after time people still get taken in by the Media Circus in the build up.
    Tony Bellew summed it up very well last year. When he said it' just about Money.

    Extremely professional fight from Joshua who did exactly what he needed to do against a very limited opponent.

    You can't fight them all like a Rocky film FFS.

    If you want people to keeping coughing up for PPV, it’s probably a good idea to make it at least a little bit more Rocky.

    People will always PPV. He's done his job properly - 3 world titles on the line. £20 is peanuts for the undercard and the main event.

    Total crap !
    Get a proper fight on instead of filling pockets with cash for minimal contact.
    Otherwise it might just as well be WWE Wrestling :emoticon-0121-angry:emoticon-0121-angry

    I expected Parker to win.
    I thought it was a poor fight that only had a couple of rounds of interest Round 5 & 6.
    Disappointing all round..

    I can’t belueve anyone pays it. I wouldn’t watch that on a Saturday night at that time for free. I think I paid towards one PPV in my life, and that was Tyson vs Lewis.

    Parker was very poor. He's not even in the same league as Joshua. Quite why anyone even thought he had a remote chance is beyond me.

    You pay £20 for the fight and the undercard. You have a choice - don't ****ing watch it. A professional fighter going about his business making sure he is victorious and is now the holder of 4 belts. It's how it works sometimes.

    I was out drinking with the fiancé.

    What do your partners do when you watch boxing - do they watch too? That’s not a dickish question, even if I wanted to watch the boxing - which I didn’t - I wouldn’t on a Saturday night cos I’d want to spend quality time with her after busy working weeks.

    I sit through hours of Emmerdale and Corrie with the wifelet where it has got to the point that I actually don’t mind them.

    I’d never tell her that though.

    So when I, very occasionally, want to watch a bit of boxing she doesn’t mind. She watches it and comes out with half witted comments which are that ridiculous I can’t help but laugh.

    At her.

    When she walked into the living room last night after I had put the boxing on she asked if Anthony Golovkin was fighting.

    I **** you not.

    A beautiful tale of compromise.

    Tbf whenever we go to Italy the future Mrs Crab tags along to a stadium with me. In return she gets to look at my face everyday.
