Do you, the plural "you" sometimes said "youse" in certain parts of Brooklyn before the hipsters...think giving Joshua every round would have shocked Povatkin's corner? Do you think short of knocking AJ down Povatkin would possibly get a decision as corrupt as boxing is?
Povatkin seems to like Joshua. I think he went in knowing that he was not going to get a decision no matter what he did. Seems to me Povatkin accepted this, for better or for worse...
I actually think the boxing gods threw Povatkin a curve ball. He had Joshia looking cold and could have went for it instead of taking his foot off the gas, which is what he did. If he really intended on winning that fight then when he had Joshua confused he would have thrown everything he had... Instead he boxed rounds knowing that he would not win these rounds according to the judges, no matter what he did.
Im not capping on Joshua either, just saying. Povatkin looked happy and all to willing to get starched at an appropriate moment.
