Povetkin probably has the best style to get the job done but he looks like he spent training camp at some sort of a special venue for weight-loss and weight-gain, all at the same time. He looks soft. I can pick Joshua to win but have no idea how because he has shown great streaks of conservatism to complement his gung-ho methodology. Joshua W12 if there are no stupid rash decisions from the referee.
Ditto. I was saying to the guys in work this week that I could justify £17 for Canelo vs GGG but not this.
Size difference is pronounced, if Josh has any bit of skills he should improve on the job Klitschko did vs Povetkin.
Solid enough start. Povetkin is getting inside because his feet are much faster than AJ's. If he lets his hands go when he gets there, he might be in business. MTF
Fairly tentative shit round 1. Joshua pawing, Povetkin bobbing. Joshua actually commits more to his right hand downstairs than to his jab. Odd. Joshua staggered at end of round on a combo.
Joshua so tentative and tight. Do not understand this. He finally gets through with jabs and he needed that.
Joshua looks lost. Walking back in straight lines, getting clipped and throwing almost no right hands. Povetkin is two rounds up on any non-corrupt card. MTF
Joshua not good enough of a boxer to win fighting like this, Hell have to outbomb Povetkin to wins this
Walked straight onto a right hand. This is ultra-tight, ultra-sloppy and he better wake the fuck up and soon.
I don't know if Povetkin can go 12 without making a mistake or three but at 2 stone heavier and with a busted nose, Joshua might need to pick it up.
Povetkin cannot miss with the overhand right. Joshua's awful straight-line defence causing problems. MTF
Joshua crouching to make himself shorter. The f*ck is the advantage of being 6'6 if you're giving up your physical assets. LOL
