Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua Drops, Stops Alexander Povetkin in Seventh

[JakeTheBoxer]

We learned that Joshua is N. 1. Povetkin is maybe N. 5, but he will likely retire.

As usual, they waited until Povetkin got old so he could only fight effectively for 3-4 rounds. As often happens, the protected fighter, Joshua in this instance, showed he was far inferior the first 3-4 rounds vs the old opponent, just like Ward vs Kovalev, just like Wilder vs Ortiz, but because they waited until Povetkin was 39, just like they waited Ortiz, GGG, and Kovalev out, Povetkin gassed and it only took a couple shots by the 25 pound bigger man to knock out the smaller old tired opponent.

Boxing in 2018, folks. It's all preplanned, WWE bull****. And for the record Joshua looked like absolute ****. This has to be the weakest era of heavyweights in the last 50 years, but they are being hyped by the promoters just to make money.

Aj fought povetkin once he became mandatory, there was no waiting until he was old. This isnt ggg vs canelo. Aj stuck to the gameplan tonight, he didn't let it fall to bits once he took a few shots. Once the opening was there he took it. First ko loss for povetkin, who would have killed windmill wilder.

Good win! Now go ask your daddy could you fight Wilder!

[Redgloveman]

Good performance from AJ. Boxed to a plan and got the win without taking much punishment. Like Wilder v Ortiz he knew he needed to take the old guy late. Solid but unspectacular performance.

Damn, that hook before the right that dropped Povetkin was nasty.

Considering I have always said I would take Joshua over Wilder that is a poor job of me nut hugging. Heck, I am a Florida Gator fan and root against all sports Alabama related. Wilder must be irritated at me. I need to get back and review the manual on how to do that right, I guess.

Not only a nuthugger but also a liar, you should be ashamed of yourself

AJ was up on all the scorecards

Hearn just owned wilder

Joshua isn’t an Instagram champion

Wilder first couldn’t agree a fighter without a venue but did with fury

Let’s see if wilder steps up and signs

Another deluded casual UK boxing fan

Huge win for Joshua. Came from behind to score a big KO.
