AKA-BRINDLE 879 Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Should be a good fight can't see it going the distance though. Easy win for josh. Won't be watching it though as I don't think it warrants being a pay per view fight Doesnt warrant being pay per view its probably the best British card of the year ! Joshua/Whyte Eubank jnr/O Sullivan Mitchell/Barosso Bellew Warrington Ward Cambell Beyond Fury/Klitchko last night id never heard of anyone. The first Crolla-v-Perez fight had a hell of an undercard but that wernt pay per view and rightly so...when fans are shelling out for Sky and boxnation to watch boxing...making British title fights Pay-per-view is a rip off Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AKA-BRINDLE 879 Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Anthony Joshua is an exciting prospect for sure...but i cant help thinking those getting excited by him so early on...probably got just as excited about Audley Harrison...both where Olympic gold medalists both blasted out their early opponents and had a ton of money and hype thrown at them...he looks wide open to a left hand in my opinion..just like he was in the amateurs...a switch hitter like Tyson Fury would destroy Joshua or the first decent southpaw he gets in with...if he fights like he did against Johnson...Whytes defense can be sloppy but he has a hellof a good left hand on him...i think he will give Joshua some major problems Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But he couldn't take the hit turning pro. With big Joshua hes totally different. Hes raw aggression is something else. The whyte fight will be a good one. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dogmad riley 1,337 Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Hopefully Whyte will at least land something meaningfull to test Joshua I'd like to see AJ put down and see if he has it in him to get back up and win. AJ around 5-7 for me ? So would I but don't think whyte is the man to do the job to me he is just another average fighter at best, 4 rounds I give it. Josh will be a world champ though Quote Link to post Share on other sites

s.e.s.k.u 1,893 Posted November 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 The media (Sky) are bigging up AJ far too much in my opinion.. I like him.. I think he's got great great offensive ability.. But still a lot of questions to be answered.. Not only can he take a punch but his muscular physique isn't suited to going into the latter rounds of a fight 6-12 rounds would test his stamina? I'm not fussed either way but would love to see the look on Eddie hearns face if whyte beat him. Both British lads so good luck to both but a win for either doesn't guarantee success at a higher level Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MickC 1,825 Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Joshua has bullied everybody he has fought so far and won them all and due to all the hype around him has got away a couple of time with hitting people while on the floor when anybody else would have been disqualified. I want to see him in a fight not having it all his own way ,taking big shots as well as giving them, having to go 12 rounds,having to fight outside his comfort zone then we will see how good he really is. Joshua has looked fantastic so far,but how many other fighters over the years have looked like world beaters then come unstuck . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Still doesn't justify ppv, we pay a sky sports subscription which should provide these fights within the monthly payments. Only world title fights should be ppv imho.

Joshua has looked fantastic so far,but how many other fighters over the years have looked like world beaters then come unstuck . Its amazing what a non Olympian heavyweight can get away with compared to an Olympian.....Mike Tyson won a world title without ever taking a punch in near 30 fights,he hit opponents after the bell,hit them low,hit them when they was down.....he never even had so much as a point taken away it was all part of the " savage animal " image we was sold.....did anybody moan about his level of competition.....did anybody say they want to see him take big shots....no. Joshua has had what 12/13 fights and folk want to see him in wars !.......The benefit of Olympic medals is the immediate exposure/money ......the downside is the instant scrutiny that comes with it.
