Joshua vs. Povetkin

[Yermek]

Tomorrow fight. How do you think how many rounds Povetkin will stand. Will there be a knockout or not?

 

[ulgromkii]

I will support Povetkin in this fight, I want to believe that he will win, although in all respects he has few chances.

I think Povetkin will be defeated by a referee decision in a boring match as he was with Klitschko, but I hope I'm not right

 

[Muzyka1996]

i think it's easy victory for joshua

 

[Aristodemus_]

He got rocked by Price in his last fight (who isn't a great fighter or a big hitter) so I would think he will be in trouble as soon as Joshua hits him with a good shot. That said, Joshua fought very conservatively against Parker which I hope he doesn't choose to do again tonight. KO (or TKO) inside 8 rounds is my prediction.

 

[Aristodemus_]

I thought Povetkin did far better than I was expecting him to do but as I expected, one big hit from AJ and that is the fight over. As he was trying to get up from the first knockdown though he put his hand on the rope and his trainer pulled it off, almost causing him to fall through ropes. Never seen anything like that before, crazy.

 

[Everbane]

from 1 st to 5 th round Povetkin was good and even it seemed that he could win this fight but further in the 6th and 7th round there are simply no words ...

Up in the comments i said it will be a boring match, but i was wrong.It showed up that Joshua is a more class boxer.

 

[Max Diver]

AJ is in great shape and improving his experience. I hope him fight Tyson Fury. It will be a big challenge a taller guy it is kind of dangerous. I hope this happen soon !

 

[Aristodemus_]

Fury is likely to lose to Wilder I think so if that happens he won't be high on the list of priorities for AJ. If he does win, then Wilder will have a rematch clause so it would be a while before it is even possible.
All that being said, I think AJ would crush Fury. The guy scored an (imo) fortunate win by running from Wlad for 12 rounds, then he went on a seriously bad diet with alcohol and drugs for two years. Even in his peak he would be outclassed.

 

[Tony Vayer]

It was a beautiful fight. I haven't seen a good punch in the face in a long time. I enjoyed watching.:boxing:

 

[jus7_play3r]

Joshua really crushes all right, but certainly everyone is waiting macham in with Wilder will be Sabina year determined but will probably be next year, finally someone can he beat him! The best is definitely for now!

 

[Bambini7777]

Povetkin lately has become weak

 

[Aristodemus_]

That is a bit harsh isn't it? He was in with the (widely regarded) top heavyweight right now and he was ahead on many peoples scorecard. AJ just has the power that can end a fight with one clean shot, which is what happened. Povetkin did well I think.

 

[Ahoy]

Kinda sad with the outcome, I was hoping Povetkin could make the upset, but I definitely knew the odds are in AJs favor.

I have to say that it was again another not very impressive performance of AJ. He basically lost every round on my scorecard. The KO punch was nice though.

Im really looking forward to see Tyson Fury vs Wilder and hoping that the winner of this will match up with Joshua afterwards.

I honestly think AJ has nothing on Fury as he is a masterclass boxer although he has no knockout power, but he can win on points easily - outclass him like he outclassed Klitschko.

Even though I favor Fury, I have to say that Wilder vs Fury will be VERY interesting match... there are only 3 possible outcomes of that fight - Fury on points, Wilder by KO or a less likely draw.

Lets see what happens!

Povetkin is too old for the strength and power of Joshua((
