Comments Thread For: Video: Anthony Joshua, Dillian Whyte Tense Weigh-in

[IR0NFIST]

From what I’ve seen, Joshua maintains his form throughout the fight while Whyte seems to get unorganized and easier to hit. Whyte also tends to telegraph his shots by loading up before he throws, which isn't a good idea against a guy like Joshua who likes to throw fast and heavy shots down the pipe. Joshua has improved leaps and bounds since losing to Whyte in the amateurs. On the other hand, Whyte hasn't changed much since then. I expect Joshua to make quick work of Whyte but a part of me also wants to see his chin tested. Whether or not he can take punishment as well as dish it out remains to be seen.

Joshua is built like a titan. Let's see if Whyte can make it to the halfway point.

When I see Joshua I see this guy:

I totally agree. The thing about Bruno was the bigger he got the slower he got. He had thar career night beating McCall but I thought he got to bulky. I'm curious to see if Joshua can take a punch. Whyte took care of Minto with ease which opened my eyes. I thought AJ would crush him like Cornish but now I'm not sure what to think Whyte. If he had a few more wins against decent journeymen it would be easier to see the end result. I expect a KO in the early rounds by AJ but with that KO win in the amateurs (not the same as pro)& a quick win over Minto I'm not really sure how good Whyte is. One thing Whyte has is a great left hook. This is a good prospect fight. Cornish had fought nobody so that was easy to call.

Ddnt realize Joshua was already ppv in England, what does it cost to order this fight there?

Go Joshua!

[jaded]

Don't judge by weigh-in appearance...it's not a bodybuilding contest. Whyte's the one with the better skills and agility. Anyone who underestimates him has not seen him fight and the Jeff Lacey comparison was a very good one. Although Joshua has the height and reach advantage it didn't matter when they fought before. In any event...this fight may very well be the best heavyweight fight in a very long time and I'm looking forward to watching it.

Suprised there's not a RBR for these fights. This is a pretty sick line up

Waiting to see if Joshua is the real deal. Whyte playing his role to perfection

Around £16 I think. I don't know anyone who's happy about it either.

it's not that bad.

put it in perspective, the following card was $50 in nz (22 pounds)

Joseph Parker vs Daniel Martz
Jeff Horn vs Ahmed Mazzouri
Izugabe Ugnoh vs Vincente Sandez
David Letele vs Loni Uhila

i think the joshua card is a bargin in comparrison
