Comments Thread For: Hearn: Joshua Had Horrific Camp, Flu Before Fighting Povetkin

AJs way or the highway? how limiting, id rather dictate my own pace.
AJ is becoming the amir kahn of the HW division, with a much better chin!

No, just the A side deciding how much a fighter who has never fought on PPV before and doesn't sell tickets should get.

Why, how many weak B sides have earned 15 mill or more for a fight?

Gypsy George Harris was blind in one eye and couldn't see too good out of the other.

And?? What has that got to do with AJ having the flu?

[Pennsauken1]

Who cares, he fought a guy who couldn’t take Peds and it affected him from knocking out glass jaw AJoke, stop it

I believe AJ had a good game plan and was very cautious of podvetkin left hook. Took his time and at the right opportunity he got the job down without sustaining much damage.
That's fighting intelligently and effectively.
The good thing about AJ that confuses his opponents is he doesn't have a defined pattern. He fights according to the opponent.

typical side effect of being juiced to the eyeballs.

What does AJ having the sniffles have to do with boxing?

If Joshua had the flu, then he had the flu. It isn't to discredit anybody.

When you get ill in fight week, I should imagine it's hard to call the whole thing off due to tickets and hotels being booked. So there's pressure there. It's just a good job it wasn't so sever that it really hampered Joshua. He did a good job, as did Povetkin.

True. I agree with you. At first it sounded like an excuse but when you have so much at stake it's hard to pull out and besides we all get a cold every once in a while.

It has to do with boxing because Joshua is a boxer who had the flu and had to fight through it.

Can't pull out when he's spent 6 months prepping his steroided cycle for a particular date.
