The discussion kicks off with Joshua's shocking defeat to Dubois, where many fans express disbelief over his performance. Critics highlight Joshua's form since his losses to Usyk, suggesting that he appeared gun-shy, lacking the aggression needed in the ring. There is a palpable sense of anxiety among the commentators about Joshua's future in the sport, especially considering the multitude of knockdowns he suffered during the fight.12
As the conversation unfolds, opinions diverge on the implications of Joshua's performance. Some argue that this may signal the end of his career, emphasizing the need for him to reassess his approach or contemplate retirement. Others criticize the lack of urgency in his corner, feeling that they should have pulled him from such a one-sided contest earlier.34
The sentiment shifts slightly as fans begin to discuss potential next steps for Joshua. While some believe he may not have the skill set to reclaim his status, others hold out hope for a comeback. Dubois, credited for his impressive performance, raises questions about how Joshua will deal with future matchups against formidable opponents.56
"Dubios destroyed him there. That was a brilliant performance."
"Thought he was going to stage a comeback them ooof."
Verdict
Overall, the thread reveals deep concerns regarding Joshua's boxing future. While Dubois is praised, Joshua's viability as a top contender remains in serious doubt. His next steps will likely determine his legacy and potential return to form.
Interested in seeing Parker fighting Zhang tonight. I really rate Andy Lee's boxing brain.
Even if Parker gets sparked, fair play for fighting again so soon after smashing Wilder about. Him and AJ had a very active year, albeit both had rebuild fights, when you're active like they've been, you can fight some crap opponents to experiment and build confidence

The atmosphere at these Saudi events is terrible. It is like a training bout
More atmosphere in the arenas during COVID lockdowns. Jose with the biggest reaction of the night so far and the circus begins.
I don't think the Saudis will stick with boxing for long tbh. A few big events and when they realise it's doing nowt for them they'll sack it off.
The half-empty dead arenas isn't a good look for sports washing.
Surely Ball won that fight? That's a robbery, again. What's going on with boxing?!
Won the last six rounds with two 10-8s. Somehow it's a draw.
I don't think it was a robbery. I think the 113-113 is the only scorecard that got it right. Vargas won 7 rounds, Ball 5 but the two 10-8 rounds level it up.
Ball must be a nightmare to fight though. Never seen a 5'2" fighter before!!!
This should be a good fight. I like both Zhang and Parker. Could go either way.
I think Zhang will stop him late on.
