Yep. 9 attempts to wrestle AJ down. Pathetic. Credit to the bloke for stepping in the ring though, and for bagging Jutta Leerdam.

Presumably the many millions he will be paid make it all bearable.

 

 

From a YAHOO Sports Australia article;

 "Joshua and Paul both reportedly received about US$93 million for the fight - $140 million Australian. But because the fight occurred in America, Joshua is set to cop multiple taxes that will see him lose nearly half of the prize purse and walk away with less than Paul.

British star Joshua will reportedly be taxed by the US government for the earnings, as well as when he gets home to the UK. He'll also have to fork out some of the money in National Insurance contributions back home.

There's no state tax in Florida, but the US government will reportedly charge an income tax of 37 per cent (about AU$52 million of the purse). Another $11.3 million will reportedly be paid to His Majesty's Revenue and Customs (British tax), and $2.8m in National Insurance contributions.

All up Joshua will part ways with about $66m, leaving him with $74m in his pocket out of the total purse of $140m. Paul will only be taxed the $52 million by the US government, meaning he'll actually get to keep more than Joshua."

I wonder how the promoters would have felt if he ended up like Michael Watson. Haven’t watched and no intention to do so.

I'm not sure the promoters concern themselves too much with the welfare of fighters.

It's a bit like people smugglers, piss poor after sales service from their complaints depts.

I doubt they would have given a monkeys. The same applies in white colour boxing, which is scarily dangerous. AJ/Paul size/ability differences are common, but it's all about the money. 

The way AJ was fighting, I think he was aware of the risk, and despite the pre fight words, he didn't want to seriously hurt the bloke. The KO punch could have been to the temple, but he went for the jaw instead.

I see Andrew Tate got his arse handed to him last night with Tommy Robinson having a run in with another boxer in Dubai.

Hard to believe in 1991 the care for boxers welfare was shocking

From Wikipedia:

There was no ambulance or paramedic at the event.[2]Doctors wearing dinner jackets arrived but only after more than eight minutes had elapsed, during which time the fallen fighter received no oxygen. A total of 28 minutes elapsed before Watson received treatment in a hospital neurosurgical unit.[5][6] He spent 40 days in a coma and had six brain operations to remove a blood clot.

Hopkins is enough to make most straight sausages go a bit bendy.
