AJ is fighting bryant jennings

[Cuban Linx]

He already got softened up by Ortiz...

Good fight, not great. Another good step up for Joshua. Joshua KO by round 8.

How the fuck anyone can criticize this fight after Joshua got wobbled against Dillian ****in' Whyte is beyond me...

Good fight, it's his first top 10 HW. Not bad, Jennings is ranked #7, Joshua is ranked #9. It's a perfect match up. In fact it shocked me, I thought they would bring up Joshua slower than this. Finally fighting a top 10 guy at 26 is about right, that's about the same age everyone is stepping up nowadays. It didn't used to be like that with Tyson, Mayweather, Pacquiao, DLH, they did it much younger but that was the old model. The 'new' way is to build them up slower, which is actually the old way, golden era way when fighters had 40-50 fights before stepping up legit.

Wish this fight was on HBO. AJ really needs exposure outside the UK..

He does very well on PPV in UK. To be consiered good, Joshua vs Whyte had to do 200k, it did 400k buys, which was double what they were hoping for. He doesn't need American viewers at all. As the opponents become better, the PPV buys will increase. And a Haye/Fury vs Joshua PPV would earn them millions of dollars/pounds, in the 8 figures. He can fight both but first he has to beat one of them, for the other fight to be even bigger. Joshua never has to step foot here in the US, instead fighters will likely have to travel to England to fight him.

Who said i was criticizing it?

It'll be entertaining while it lasts. Bryant doesn't have enough firepower to keep AJ off him though, only gonna be one result...

Nor does fury have enough firepower so what's your point Denium ?

[RussB23]

I think jennings wins a UD.

[The plunger man]

I think joshua will steam roll him....jennings lacks the heavyweight power to keep joshua honest but he has a good skill set and will show what kind improvement joshua is making.......it's the sort of fight that if joshua completely breaks him...then that will line him up for the big league...so I think 2 more fights and he should be heading towards a world title fight and the likes of wilder and fury....

I think putting down either guy is ridiculous, both went 12 rounds with a Klitschko, both have had some good performances and Chisora beat Helenius in what was a plain robbery (not even that close in reality). Both guys may be on the way down but neither is a janitor or a bum and career wise, Chisora has achieved much more than Jennings.

Imo right now I think Jennings has more upside but can't say I disagree with some of your points .

[KeyboardWarrior]

Gotta give props to Jennings here.

I can see AJ ending it early and I can also see a UD for Jennings.

Great fight for Joshua at this point, and a good fight for Jennings to get his career back on track... Can't fault it at all...
