I'm enjoying it as well, it's a 'classier' fight than I thought it would be, I thought it was going to be a scrap with a bit of naughty after the bell.

Also, it shows how heavy AJ hits, as Whyte has taken a lot of Derek's best shots here.

Toe to toe. Great fight. I call draw.

[Yiliterate]

Just brilliant...so much respect for both of them; both gave absolutely everything.

[Zammy]

I think Whyte just pipped it but what a fight! Big respect to both fighters

[ExocetApe]

As good a HW fight as i've seen for quite a while.

What a fight, heavyweight division needed that.

[hornetrider]

Shot.

Gone.

Job done.

[Amirhussain]

Predictable

[Zammy]

Too easy...

April 29th 2017...one for the diary!!!

just like the old days for me listening on the Radio and it was really enjoyable. Wembley 29th April it is then.

Chisora Whyte - proper fight. Joshua Molina - non-event.

Let's see whether Klitschko is still alive in April.

Parker vs. Ruiz didn't really do either fighter justice. AJ walks through both of them with ease.

Chisora vs. Whyte was a great contest, I was just about in agreement with the judges, Whyte by a round. Great fight though and an even matchup. Neither fighter will gain much from a re-match, Whtye needs to move on from this but I'm not sure what next for Chisora. Ortiz vs. Whyte looks like the next fight in the offing if the mandatory WBC fight against Wilder doesn't come through.

AJ vs. Molina was a non event really. Would have been a much better test to fight David Price and a better warm up for WK. The worry is Wlad's age now and the fact he'll have been out of action for 18 months since losing to Fury. That is just too long at the age of 41. I'm sure he'll turn up in good shape and be game but I'm increasingly starting to see this fight as a passing of the batton onto the young champion.

I agree. Vlad is way too old. I think he will keep AJ at arms length for a good few rounds using his ring craft; but ultimately AJ will land clean and close him down.

Although an AJ fan and British, I'll be routing for Vlad - I really want him to test AJ fully so when he does win it will be a deserved performance and not just a failing older man who he beats

Funnily enough, he does a passable Bellew as well!

Chisora and Whyte was superb. A credit to them both.
Is it that Joshua is just unlucky that there is no one to box? No doubting he is decent but he really has fought no one of any real pedigree or quality? Am I being overly harsh ? It's just that it's getting boring now.

The Chisora/White fight was worth the subscription on it's own!

[Amirhussain]

I've no doubt that Klitschko will turn up in good shape, but his been inactive for a while and his going to be 41 come fight night, just a last pay day.

The fight we all want to see is Haye v AJ
