  • You see that Wallin is a very good fighter. He also beat up the Gypsy Queen. But he didn’t even throw one single punch against Joshua – and that’s because he threw that fight. Corrupt boxing.

    • Or more accurately he got his ass handed to him in sparring against A.J. and knew he Cundt win . Wallin is overrated he faced a very poor version of fury . He’s not bad but the way people go on about him I still ain’t seen him beat a legit contender ?

    • There’s no doubt that fight smelled. Otto seemed to pull his punches, never throwing a single shot in anger. After the 4th round the commentators mooned over a right by AJ that in slow motion clearly missed. Nothing about that fight was kosher.

  • – Had another outstanding night at the fights.
    – Parked in a lot across from the Tropicana for $10 instead of $25 at the Trop lot.
    – Got there at 1pm so had 6 hours to kill.
    – Place was really nice with lots of bars and restaurants.
    – Brought a 6-pack of Redd’s Hard Apple into the casino and ate at the Market Place where I polished off the Redd’s.
    – Won $70 at the Blackjack table and ran out of the casino like I stole it.
    – The Show Room was a very small venue.
    – The local AC fighters, Bruce Seldon, Jr., and Justin Figueroa, had a nice following of fans.
    – The balcony area, where my seat was, was not opened so I found a nice seat 7 rows from ring side in the elevated section.
    – Watched the last 2 fights from the first row and sat behind one of the judges, Steve Weisfeld.
    – Saw very good action from the 7 bouts on the card.
    – Saw Mickey Ward who was there for a meet and greet but didn’t get a chance to shake his hand.
    – Overall, did very well………

    • I’d say you did well, as did I, who enjoyed each event (and non-event) in your account. Reminded me of Sherwood Anderson’s night out to watch a young Joe Louis, though Anderson did sit in the upper balcony, and enjoyed that, and its many events, too.

  • When I see Otto Wallin, I often see a rather amateurish and overrated school boxer.

    But,

    then he has his fight against Tyson Fury, regardless of which version of him, Otto Wallin made a very strong effort.

    But was it an exception?

    If it wasn’t for his fight against Dominic Breazeale who was actually dominated by Otto Wallin, and not least in the fight against Murat Gassiev who was completely neutralized by Otto Wallin in a boring but effective fight.

    Maybe I’m the one who underestimates the amateurish school boxer? I don´t know. But I don’t see him ever be the Champ.

    • The Fury fight might have been an anomaly because Fury was cut bad. Even with that, I thought Fury won by a good margin. It feels like the claims Wallin was in a 50/50 fight with Fury are exaggerated. He did beat Brazeale with relative ease, but not sure that means much at the World Class level. I think he actually just got clobbered by Joshua… I didnt see any reason to feel it was a fishy fight. It was just one-sided and easy for Joshua.

      • I had no expectations for that fight from Wallin’s side against Fury.

        Perhaps the biggest surprise was that it went 12 full rounds. On top of that, a dramatic cut on Fury that made the fight a bit special.

        It was not a 50/50 fight. Wallin won at most two – three rounds as I remember it.

        The fight against Joshua there is nothing to say about except that Wallin was completely overrun.

        But still, you must have some kind of capacity if you beat both Breazeale and Gassiev, even if it doesn’t have to be evidence of a heavyweight champion.

  • That African dude has no chin.
    Was there ever any doubt?
    What a shit show boxing is in 2024.

  • What seemed strange to me was that Ehwarieme was quoted as 24 years old when he appeared much older than this.

      • Ehwarieme was on a roll against nobodies and compiled a nice record. The second he moved up to fighting legit guys, he’s getting flattened. He kinda looks like he’d be tough, so he gets thrown into decent fighters despite being a no-hoper.

  • The interview with Jarrell Miller showed him to be in quite good shape. Much lighter than he was for Dubois.
