AJ not looking too clever here

AJ in trouble. Povetkin 2-0 up, has possibly broken his nose.

bennydorano · September 22, 2018, 10:42:43 PM

He's still behind no matter what the Brit commentators shite talk about.

They are unreal. Froch just said AJ is boxing well! He's been average at best so far.

Ha just as I say that. Good knockout to be fair.

gallsman · September 22, 2018, 10:46:33 PM

Had it 3-2 with a drawn round going into the 7th there. Some finish. Povetkin had no business trying to bang with him once he took the first shot as he was on queer street.

Fine finish

nrico2006 · September 22, 2018, 10:47:30 PM

What a finish. No better man for capitalising on a fighter when he has him hurt.

gallsman · September 22, 2018, 10:49:13 PM

One judge had it 59-55 to AJ ffs.

There's not a hope in hell a fighter is beating Joshua on points on home soil no matter if he's beat around the ring. Had to laugh at that scorecard myself. As a casual enough fan his defence looked ropey enough for the entirety of that fight?

Kept getting hit with the same 2 punch combo. Lowered the defence but that's more bravado than ought else. Wilder will clip him handy enough, but will take a fair amount himself. Should be an exciting bout

Furys not happy with his name not getting mentioned as a possible opponent

nrico2006 · September 23, 2018, 02:00:50 PM

Be a joke if its Whyte Joshua in April.

bennydorano · September 23, 2018, 03:51:25 PM

If Fury gets beaten by Wilder his box office is minimal, if he wins he'll be there in April. I'm guessing they were pushing Fury's buttons by ignoring him - quite successfully by looking at Twitter (he blocked AJ, who is taking great delight).

White looked pissed off about something on Sky's coverage afterwards but I missed the jist of it.

Whyte is a root who was lucky to hear the bell in his last fight. Nobody wants to see him fight Joshua; he got knocked out badly last time. I hear him saying he can get into AJs head, but thats balls. The only card he had was the amateur win which has been well and truly forgotten about.

I have always liked Fury but AJ has got the better off him in their latest battle. Tyson has to be able to take it considering he gives it so much. He slabbers away about hating AJ and how he will never give him the chance to fight him, yet AJ has conducted himself exemplary as usual and winded him up.
