I don't know what the fùck the press was watching, but AJ lost every single round. Povetkin was bouncing shots off his head all night.
Wilder would starch AJ inside 4 rounds, I'm convinced (disclaimer: I am not a Wilder fan). They don't want Fury either (disclaimer: I am a Fury fan).
And what's up with the weird stoppage? Ref never called it off did he?
EDIT: I didn't realize his own corner stopped it. I was too busy watching the action and the stream got cut off during the AJ interview.
Exactly. Same thing I said about the Canelo GGG fight. Just because Canelo had a couple of flashy early rounds doesn't mean he wins the fight.
yeah but GGG didn't fight the same way AJ fought with his jab. He couldnt dictate the fight or control the distance with his jab. He just threw jabs b/c that was the only punch he could land without getting countered. And GGG didn't start landing significant punches until rd 9-12. GGG loss the fight bro.
I definitely thought Povetkin was ahead over the first three rounds, he did what was expected of him and went looking for AJ and had good success too. AJ took over from round four, Pov was still game but the sting was taken out of him and he looked spent by round 6 and the KO was imminent. It was about even for me on the cards at the time of stoppage but it was never a fight that was going to go the distance so is quite irrelevant really
Povetkins only chance of winning was to go all guns blazing, which he did. He was throwing bombs from the off, trying to get joshua out quick. Obviously as the rounds went on Joshua's stamina was gonna takeover. Joshua did very well, he must have been expecting that povetkin.
Ppl saying joshua lost all the rounds but they were both fighting different fights. Povetkin went all out for the early finish, joshua stuck with his gameplan and bided his time, didn't let himself get into a swinging match.
He knew povetkin would gas and once the opportunity came he finished him very quickly. Brilliant performance by Joshua.
Povetkin was brutally stopped and his cornerman threw in the towel in the most important fight of his life as so severe was the punishment he was taking.
And this dumbass is questioning the decision? Wilder fan bots are something else! Haters gonna hate!

Good work by Alexander Povetkin.
I got Povetkin winning 1,2,3 and 5 as I'm studying the film -- I have not reached rounds 6-7. The 4th round was a Joshua round, BUT Anthony was lucky because I'm looking at the replays and it looks like Joshua caught Alexander with a forearm, causing the cut.
AJ was controlling the fight the entire time you dont judge a fight based off the 1st 3 rds. IDK why fanboys always freak out when a fighter wins the 1st 3 rds. We've seen it many times where a fighter wins the early rds then it turns around. AJ made adjustments and Povetkin couldnt land them looping punches anymore.
OP is a fanboy groupie.

Anyone who had Joshua ahead after the 6th round is clearly a racist.
Give the old white dude his props, he shook the young lion in every single round.
Don't be a dick. What has color have to do with anything?

I'm not a Povetkin fan --- AT ALL! AJ was getting shít on for 7 rounds. Controlling the fight by eating bombs to the face and head? Ok man, sure whatever you say.
I just want you to know that you are insane. Take a long look in the mirror and say these words: this is the face of a crazy person.
You can say povetkin was winning. But to say he won every round is deluded. SO stop being a bias troll and just shut up.
Which rounds did AJ win? Tell me. Shut me the fùck up then. I'll shít on your score just like Povetkin shít on AJ for 7 rounds straight.
I had it a draw before the stoppage. Dan Rafael had it 58-56 Povetkin, pretty sure most non UK media probably had it evenly matched except for the judges.
