  • The fight card is picked with stars, unfortunately these stars don’t fight each other. That’s why I’m not a huge fan of all these fights. I see no surprises in the outcome of the fight, all seem pretty predictable. That’s why the whole event is far a way to be the self-declared biggest thing.

    • Ok we’re going to call you
      Go ahead and pick the winners

      1. Miller vs Dubois
      2 Joshua vs Wallin
      3. Wilder vs Parker

      • Wilder will have target practice on Parker. Parker’s boring style is tailored-made for Wilder to tee off with his right power hand. Parker is too slow, lacks head movement, and holds more than he hits on most exchanges. Wilder will adjust, time the right hand, and yes, Parker will be put to sleep. Parker was cherry-picked as a tune up. Wilder KO.

      • 1. I don’t give af, both should retire after the fight
        2. J
        3. W

        Its as simple as that.

      • Not heard of Miller before so going with Dubois, on his day he’s a handful for most. AJ by late Ko, Would love to see Parker beat Wilder, but think Wilder by KO perhaps after one or two scares.

    • I would say DO NOT COUNT OTTO WALLIN OUT.
      That guy went life and death with Tyson Fury the entire fight, and he was the one guy that Tyson Fury didn’t seem to want two or three rematches with.
      Anthony Joshua can sometimes shut down when the fights get rougher.
      That fight, anyway, may be pretty far away from a foregone conclusion.

  • This fight card is stacked with stars who have the opportunity to showcase themselves in what appears to be predictable outcomes. Most of these fights are in the heavyweight division where one punch changes everything. I gave up on AJ vs Wilder a while ago but this card will be very telling. If these two win and do it impressively and decided not to fight next. It’ll never happen. Lastly, I really wish Zhilei Zhang was on this card. Too me that would have topped it off.

  • I think Wallin is a live dog. His biggest wins have gone the distance so there maybe some solace for AJ there. Still he himself has not been stopped even by Fury so while I am leaning AJ, I think Wallin is a realistic threat and more then a showcase. The Miller – Dubois fight is also hard to pick. I am leaning Miller but how much trust can there be in a guy who was off for so long and failed two drug tests. My friend told me the saying for failing is pi**ing hot. I think in Miller’s case there was literally fire coming out of his private parts if that is the case!!! That said I still think he will be too strong for Dubois who seems to struggle when the going gets tough. I do not however think my pick is in anyway a foregone conclusion. The rest of the fights I think are solid bets. Wilder has been inactive but hard to envision Parker winning. Anything is possible but not likely.

  • I like the fight card. I expect AJ to fight cautiously until he can land a big shot and this may not work or end well for him despite being the favorite. Parker will grab and hold Wilder when he gets near him and attempt to outbox him. It will be ugly but possibly effective. And Parker being much more active there’s a chance for him (slim) and I hope he beats Wilder but most likely he gets knocked out inside of 6. I’d like to see Dubois beat that cheater Miller by KO.

  • Though I’d like to see Parker win, it’s better for boxing if Wilder and AJ both win since they have agreed to fight in Feb.

  • Hopefully Wilder and Joshua win. Then we can see Wilder smoke Joshua. Followed by one of Joshua’s nervous breakdown ring speeches.

    • I can’t wait that long, hopefully Wallin wins so we see one of those again at the weekend.

    • I’m really excited about Makhmudov vs Kabayel and as you write, these odds are way out.

  • Predictions:

    1. Joshua dec over Wallin
    (Boring fight)
    116-112

    2. Miller TKO over Dubois
    (7th rd Dubois quits)

    3. Wilder KO Parker
    (Rd 3)
    Parker will stun him and get sloppy and drop left hand

  • Wallin and Parker could easily win these fights. Wilder is 38 years old and has taken a few terrible beatings. That said, he still has that lethal right hand. Wallin won many rounds off Fury when Fury was in his prime….AJ has proven to be a mediocre fighter! Miller will take Dubois in KO!

  • I’m rooting for wilder and joshua so they can finally meet next.

    With that said, i think joshua will fight cautiously against wallin as wallin is a very live dog. But it will be up to wallin to press the action as AJ will stay at range behind a jab as long as wallin allows him.

  • I can see Wallin take it to Joshua, stun him and pull it off, as long as he backs himself. Parker could box the pants off wilder and even stop him, as long as he backs himself.
    AJ has no confidence these days, and I’ve always thought wilder has poor boxing skills, but luckily can punch.

    Then again who knows!!!

  • I’d like to see Wilder get beat, he’s old, a one trick fighter and did Mark Breland terrible so fuk him!

    • Notorious Ice, well that “one trick”has worked for every single opponent except Fury.

  • I dont know what to think and expect about Dubois vs Miller.
    Dubois, I felt he quit against Usyk.
    Miller, not sure if he can handle Daniel power.

  • I’m just wondering if anyone else has received this notification, but DAZN is increasing my monthly subscription by 66%. That’s f$%ckin’ juicy.

    • I do month to month only during fights interested in..i purchased right before Jake Paul so I get to purchase this card..$5 month..funny that those who loyal get screwed but those smart like me get blessed

  • What strikes me most about this card is that Joshua and Wilder have been unable to agree to fight each other for years and that Joshua and Fury have been unable to agree to fight each other for years as well. I wonder if Joshua is holding up these fights, and if so, I think it is quite pathetic. Joshua and Wilder should be fighting here and it stinks that they aren’t. So sick of these fighters, fighting once or twice a year against nobodies in order to preserve their record and feed the hype. Then two, three years down the road, they begin a year long song and dance before signing to fight, maybe. Frankly, I’d like to see them both LOSE to hungrier, more active fighters. Not likely to happen on this card, but the heavyweight division desperately needs new blood and renewed vigor.
