Golovkin was slightly better, that Adelaide woman ref is a scam ! she messed up the beautiful show with her incompetence

Roman Reigns

this is impressive and worth the read.

low publicity for this edition, I remember the hype around the maiden one. NBA should have still partnered with Dstv in order to bring it to the door steps of more Africans

Teewhy2:
Bought 500k for his baby mama but still stays in 174k council flat with his mother. Hmmm is that not the power of behind (arsenal).

lol, AJ had to do that cos of his son. he is a humble family man

Mrchippychappy:
shhhhhh.......a man almost twice his age knocked him to the canvas twice and almost took the fight from him. your afonja bro was lucky. Klitscho should have wrapped the fight up in the 6th round but he lacked the youthful strength and stamina of AJ. Very lucky AJ. I wouldn't advise him to take on Deontay Wilder or even Tony Bellew.

u are a nitwit, u call Joshua's victory luck ? Can u throw a punch? Do u even know wat an uppercut is?
Do u know wat it takes to face one of the most feared boxers of all time ? Do you know how many lives have been cut short in the boxing ring?

Obviously u dont hence ur senseless talk !

The IBF and WBA heavyweight title is on the line on 29th April, 2017 Saturday night as home favourite and Nigerian born British boxer Anthony Femi Joshua prepares to go toe-to-toe with Ukrainian Wladimir Klitschko at Wembley Stadium, London, in the most anticipated heavyweight bout in recent memory.

Will 27 year old Joshua maintain the unbeaten start to his professional career or can Klitschko, 41 bounce back from his defeat to Tyson Fury and re-establish himself as the undisputed heavyweight champ?
We’ve seen a lot of Anthony Joshua’s fights but he’s knocked out everybody so I say what has he learnt? Where’s the experience? Wladimir’s almost up to 70 fights, so you’ve got the experience and the old and you’ve got the new and the strong – which one are you gonna take?

Read what some of the pundits have to say.

"This may be a fight too many for Klitschko. AJ may walk all over him. Klitschko fell asleep in his last fight. Will he be asleep again or will he have been spurred to get his title back? That is why it is so intriguing." - Lennox Lewis

" Klitschko knows how to win and how to use his body size. It will be a difficult fight. Klitschko's a good fighter. He has a good left jab and once you develop a good left jab, there's no such thing as your best days before or behind you, you are a fighter that can last forever.

If he wins the world title again - oh my God, imagine that! If Klitschko wins, the boxing world will flip out." - George Foreman

" You can only go by current form and the fight he had against Fury he refused to let his hands go. He couldn’t pull the trigger.

He’ll be 41 by the time the fight happens and he’ll have been out of the ring for pretty much 18 months. It’s terrible preparation for fighting someone so young and who’s been fighting so regularly.

The thing I worry about is the lack of punch volume from Klitschko. When he needed to, he put his foot down and there was no gas in the tank."
- David Haye

" My heart is for Joshua but my mind is always for Klitschko.

We can't count Klitschko out. I don't think Joshua has had the well enough training or experience for Klitschko in my opinion.

I'm not saying that Joshua would lose off that, but when you're fighting a certain type of calibre of fighters and then you move all the way up to the guy who at one point in time was the ruler of the division and held the belts for a long time, it's a big leap."
- Deontay Wilder

Who rules the Anthony Joshua vs Wladimir Klitschko fight ?

Joshua is a power puncher though his chin is suspect.

he needs to work on going the distance with wladmair cos you rarely knock out the Klitschko's.

main edge Femi has is youthfulness , humility and hunger.

go go Josh

Nigerian born British heavy weight boxer Anthony Femi Joshua barely broke a sweat in his third round TKO stoppage of Eric Molina on Saturday. Joshua dominated from the jump, pushing Molina back to the ropes in the opening seconds of the bout and rarely let Molina into the center of the ring for the 8 minutes the two occupied the ring together.
Molina appeared shaken and extremely uncomfortable opposite Joshua from the opening bell, backing himself to the ropes and allowing the IBF heavyweight champion to tee off on him. Joshua, to his credit, looked sharp despite the lack of activity or resistance from his opponent. The champion picked apart Molina's defense with body shots early and a sharp left jab that did damage in the first two rounds.
A sharp left from Joshua to open the third round pushed Molina back into the corner and from there, it was a matter of time before he could crack him. In the end, it was a vicious right hand that did Molina in, as he was sent sprawling to the canvas in his corner, before getting up and being stopped by the referee after another flurry of punches by Joshua left him slumped over the top rope.
Joshua easily retained the IBF heavyweight title in his final test ahead of his April 29 bout with Wladimir Klitschko. Klitschko, who was ringside for the bout, stepped in to make the official announcement that he and Joshua would face off in a battle between the long-time star of the heavyweight division and the young gun looking to prove he is truly an elite in the heavyweight division.

Tyson Fury appears to have announced his retirement from boxing in his latest social media post.

The world heavyweight champion has not fought since taking Wladimir Klitschko's IBF, WBA and WBO belts with a stunning victory in Germany in November last year.
A rematch has twice been postponed, the IBF title has been stripped and the remaining governing bodies are considering following suit in the wake of his latest withdrawal and allegations about his Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) conducted test.

And Fury posted a twitter message on Monday saying: "Boxing is the saddest thing I ever took part in, all a pile of s***, I'm the greatest and I'm also retired."
Tyson Fury has announced his retirement from boxing on Twitter.

If Fury is as good as his word he will quit the sport unbeaten having won all 25 of his professional contests, with 18 stoppages.
The 28-year-old won the British, Commonwealth and European titles on his way to a shot at the younger Klitschko, who went into their fight unbeaten in 11 years.
Fury won the fight on all three judges' cards
Fury travelled to the champion's adopted home in Germany and won a unanimous decision with a dominant performance.
A rematch was initially booked for the summer only for Fury to pull out with an ankle injury, and the rescheduled October 29 date was called off with the champ "medically unfit to fight".

Fury's trainer and uncle Peter Fury later opened up to Sky Sports about his nephew's problems and said the fighter would recover and return to the ring.
Fury's latest Twitter post casts new doubt on that prediction.

could this be true, social media and lies these days are like.....

I pray it's true o

ok

All over Lagos, construction work is going on, either roads are being built or resurfaced, or drainage are being constructed, or street lights erected. They are not giving any excuse that they are waiting for the rains to stop before they can start road construction. An excuse that has found a home in the eastern part of the country.The governors are perpetually waiting for the rains to stop......
Infact flying into Lagos at nights now present a pleasant picture of a city that is quite illuminated such that you can see the streets from up there. It was not like this before. Almost every major road in Lagos is now illuminated with street lamps such that you can conveniently drive from Lekki to Ikeja without your car headlamps.
Moreso, the Lagos Light Rail project is still ongoing, the erection of the heavy piers for the bridge has got to CMS, and the Chinese firm CCECC is actively on site. Looking at the snaking bridge from Iganmu down to Ijora-Olopa has added to the beauty of the Lagos skyline. Iconic scenery......
Does this mean that there is no corruption, nepotism and all the other negative isms? No. Inspite of those,they are working.
They are planning for two deep seaports in Badagry and Epe axis. An international airport in Lekki Free trade zone. If Lagos is a country, it would be Africa's sixth largest economy, bigger than Ghana and Kenya. If Lagos was a country, it won't be in a recession.
According to a McKinsey Report released yesterday, massive urbanisation will lead Africa's next phase of economic growth. Innovative leaders are already planning with this in mind. Africa is poor, and poverty is an opportunity because it provides a huge headroom for growth.
No other state in Nigeria, not even the federal government is concerned about urban renewal as Lagos State. Two years ago, the State won an award for increasing its green vegetation cover by over 65%. Those who were busy asking Fashola " na flowers and trees we go chop"? do not know the health implications of growing more green canopy across the State.
What am I saying....
Lagos is already working towards weaning the State from dependence on federation allocation and oil money. Infact, a policy is already in place to reduce dependence on oil revenue from the federal government to 20% by 2018, and 10% by 2020.Lagos can afford to run without any shishi from Abuja.
How many states are thinking in this direction?
True continuity....
I support true continuity where there is unity of purpose. Starting from Tinubu in 1999 who in 2003 launched what we have today as Lagos Development Master-plan, which Fashola followed and expanded on, and now Ambode is religiously implementing. Continuity is not just having one political party in power for 16 years. Continuity is having people who buy into an idea follow it through without deviating, or trying to bring in their own.
The People's Democratic Party(PDP) was in power at the federal level from 1999 to 2015. Yet we cant call that continuity. Obasanjo came up with the NEEDS document, a development gospel that if well implemented could take Nigeria to el dorado. But what did Yar Adua do, he set the NEEDS aside, and came up with his own 7-Points Agenda. He even stopped works on the power rehabilitation, railways etc etc. When Jonathan came, he launched his own template called Transformation Agenda which re-incorporated the power road-map, and also rail infrastructure.
In essence, the same political party can be in power for 20 years, yet the full impact will be lackadaisical at most. If you doubt me, check some states that have had same political party holding sway since 1999.
Lagos is working, even in a recession.
The federal government has a lot to learn from Lagos State.
