this is how he promotes?

"my main guy has a match this weekend! You guys forgot about it because its not the match you want, but he might get upset!"

Indeed this will be a tough fight. I don't think Povetkin would be a walk in the park like many think.

Sure Joshua is the favorite going in but it's never wise to under estimate your opponent and Povetkin only has one loss and that is to Klitschko.

I think Joshua would probably win but I'm cheering for my man Povetkin.

WAR POVETKIN!!!

It will be tough but Josh knows that. He's fought enough easy touches but now he's at business end of division.

Same stuff Oscar says to promote fights. Dude is so unoriginal.

Yes I'm sure if he actually used his brain he coukd come out with a comment with more interest to it than the usual.
Fighter B has alot to give we have to be at our best for fighter a to beat him

[Curt Henning]

yeah..sorry eddie..im not buying it cause im sane and logical

38 year old former cheat that we saw gas years ago against marco huck(sound familiar AJ fanboys?)......if he does pose a threat then AJ sucks...should be easy work

[trippers1]

You made it not fair when you made povetkin do a **** ton of drugs tests. Just let the man juice.

[Vinnykin]

I'm not going to be buying this fight but I'm looking forward to seeing how Joshua deals with Povetkin..... I feel he won't get credit if he beats him easily or if it's a tough fight. Povetkin is at least a different style to what he has faced before at the top-level, so we can take a lot from this fight.

Looking forward to the Wilder/Fury conference on Monday as well. Smart move to do it while the press are in London.

A big week for the division!

Hearn has done a poor job promoting this fight.
