Comments Thread For: Joshua: Povetkin Strong, But Didn't Hurt Me In The First Round

Wilder tucks Joshua to sleep if he catches AJ like PEDvetkin did but problem is I can see AJ being extremely gun shy and moving around which don’t help his chances from his inevitable doom, it just prolongs it and makes the fight boring!

Watched the fight again today. Povetkin looked dangerous and Joshua’s defence looked leaky at times with shots barely missing him; but he clearly wasn’t hurt in the first round. Anyone who thinks he was hurt is either failing to be objective or doesn’t really know boxing

Nobody cared if Joshua won lmao. Damn shame. No publicity nothing lol. The boxing world does not care about Joshua. They're fed up with his and Hearns shenanigans!!!

This is what I say to Wilder when Ortiz rocked him because Wilder was not hurt like Joshua plus Povetkin boxed similar to Spilzka too had Joshua rethinking what the next move would be thar is why you see him act hesitant about setting those punches up.

Plus I think Wilder would have beaten Povetkin in better fashion than Joshua did and I think that Ortiz would of knocked Joshua out if he was landing like that

How many top level HWs has Ortiz knocked out in his career?

Only AJ knows for sure if he was hurt or not. And if he was .. so what? He was caught clean by one of the hardest punchers in the division.

I was very impressed by his composure. He stayed calm under pressure and didn't show any signs of gassing. And the way he finished Povetkin was awesome. Sasha has a great chin. Nobody has ever scrambled his brains like that before, not even prime Wlad.

That was AJ's best performance to date.

Even if he was hurt, he still came back and got the win. Next.

Joshua is a Phoney

Another carefully orchastrated win by the Joshua team. Amazing win over a 39 year old opponent who weighed almost 30 lbs less than Joshua. Hopefully Joshua's team can continue to fill the venues fighting smaller heavyweights well past their prime while avoiding any real credible opponents.How many in their prime top heavyweights has Joshua avoided I'm loosing count?> Wilder, Ortiz,Fury... Now the big excuse is unless a credible opponent accepts a small slice of the purse which most won't and allow Hearn and his cronies to dictate every facet of the fight from location, ring size, gloves and officials it's not Joshua's fault. This is why boxing needs an international commission to prevent this kind of corrupt manipulation of the sport. We now have Canelo and Joshua doing the same thing. Why not have one ranking system, one champion, All physical specifications as to ring size and gloves ect. I still say Wilder would knock Joshua out cold.

Could he have pretended to be hurt to lead Povetkin on with the intention of getting him exhausted by throwing many punches
