If you think Povetkin was ‘lighting him up’ for 6 rounds you clearly weren’t watching the fight. First 2 rounds he had Joshua in some trouble but 3rd round onwards Joshua had adapted and was catching him with the jab and good power shots which set him up for the KO in the 7th. It didn’t come out of nowhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 1 of those knockdowns was legit, the other 2 he wrestled him to the ground FFS. And conversely Wlad was vastly more experienced than Joshua when he fought Povetkin and the amount of holding and leaning he done in that fight was criminal. Anyways if people don't want to appreciate Joshua and what he's done for Biritsh boxing fair enough It's always trendy to hate things when they become popular.

JackLadd Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 The charisma bypass is perfect for the media image of the doing good black role model superstar though.

jack D and coke Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Was a decent fight. Povetkin was a worthy opponent and came to fight I was impressed with him. He landed some cracking shots and was winning on points after 4 rounds for me. I always felt AJ would eventually find the range and once he did it would be curtains. I must admit I find it strange the amount of people who don’t like Joshua, he’s a decent bloke and a good champion. Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His chat is complete and utter beige cliches and he needs to actually let some personality out. He's had 3 unified defences since he won the WBA 'super' title. The first two were utter crap and last night he put a good finish on a potential shitshow. Povetkin was a decent opponent, thankfully now he's out the way we can get Wilder and then Fury lined up. He's a 6/10 for me. Cant really be arsed with him but dont dislike him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cannabis one I’ll forgive that’s just daft boyness but the superior black race thing isn’t good at all. That old chestnut claiming his Twitter was hacked too, you could only imagine the carry on if he was white and said similar. Also a few stories about steroids which when you look as his physique it’s not beyond imagination he’s been at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
