Jab, head movement, feet etc but have to say that was a very good performance. Looked seriously motivated. Needs to bring that same level of aggression against Fury. Needs to know at this stage of the game what he's good at and what he isn't. If he's tentative and tries to box Fury, he won't win. Indeed. As i said above, needs to bring it all together and improve his speed and timing IMO. Too many missed bombers against the likes of Fury will see him clipped every time. This is probably one of the best performances I've seen from him though. If he can tweak the mix of Smart Boxing , Timing, aggression and Power he can beat most if not all.

Great point to be fair. I don't think he has. AJ defo has the tougher resume. Fury's skills are undeniable though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the answer is that it is a fairly poor division taking out the top two or three, Oddly enough I would say Wilder has had the more difficult fights than either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubbs Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Good overall performance by AJ. Looked tired after the exertion of the 3rd round and took a couple of rounds to get his energy levels up again. Not exactly a clean fight from either boxer though. Would love to know what Mayweather said to him after the fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am watching Dazn as well ( Bloody great deal to be fair ), agree with the last bloke who said there are still scars and chinks.in AJs armour/confidence still remaining from the Ruiz loss. Might take him a couple fights and wins to regain it. Edited December 12, 2020 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: They've just shown Joshua's resume as well, unquestionably the highest pedigree. Edited December 12, 2020 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kind of irrelevant really. The fact is he did fight klitschko and wilder and beat them both. Fury beats everyone Joshua has beaten. Differently maybe but beats them.

OutByEaster? Posted December 13, 2020 Moderator Share Posted December 13, 2020 I don't think Joshua lands a glove on Fury. I'd like to see it as a fight, but for me there's only one winner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Pulev took an impressive amount of abuse but barely hit AJ. Not many people manage to hit him. Ruiz did and VK did and both decked him. Hopefully Fury can give him something to think about. I don’t see it being so one sided, it could be an epic battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Joshua barely moves his head, Fury would likely have a field day against him you’d feel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepyvillian Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 If I had to pick a winner from Fury and AJ, I'd go with the Gypsy king, but anyone who thinks the result is a forgone conclusion is seriously underestimating Joshua. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, it doesn’t have any bearing on the result or provide any enjoyment. If it was very one sided it would be a huge surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
