Golovkin surely a couple ahead but knowing these numpty judges it could be as close as all square.

Can't see how GGG lost that. Gutted for him. Just think the fight came a few years too late otherwise he'd have floored Canelo.

While I had it by 2 to GGG, it’s interesting that a lot of boxing pros had Canelo by 1 or a draw. Caleb Truax had Canelo 8-4 [emoji50]

Thought it was close but didn't have Canelo winning 7 of the rounds, as prettyboy says in Vegas on a Golden boy show then GGG would have had to have got a knock out to win

What are folks' thoughts on Joshua v Potevkin?

I expected Joshua to be favourite but was surprised Potevkin is available at 15/2.

Povetkin is a tough man. But think AJ will be too tough for him. Think it’ll go to around 6-8 rounds. Should be a decent battle

Pretty Boy

Much like with the big fight last weekend I'd say Povetkin needs a KO to win. Can anyone really see Joshua losing a decision in London when a fight with Wilder or Fury is inevitable.?

FWIW I think AJ will win quite comfortably if he's disciplined again. Povetkin is no mug but I think it's fair to say his record is a bit padded over the last 3 years or so, his last 6 opponents had 17 losses between them before fighting him. I'm not sure I see a stoppage but Joshua by 4 or 5 rounds is my guess.
21-09-2018, 06:30 PM
lord bunberry

It’s a dangerous fight for Joshua if he tries to make a statement and knock Povetkin out early doors. If he gets his jab going and uses his skills he’ll win comfortably on points. After this he needs to fight the winner of Fury and Wilder or Dillian Whyte. Right now I’d rate Whyte as the toughest fight, he’s matured a lot as a boxer in the last couple of years.

If Wilder beats Fury (which is likely) him and Joshua will happen in April. The amount of money in that fight is astronomical. There's abit of political posturing going on at the moment but it's all about the money and that fight will probably do 2 million PPV buys in the UK alone plus a gate of 90,000, chuck in American and international the rights , hospitality and sponsorship and it makes more money in the sport bar any fight involving Mayweather.

i doubt the wilder/fury fight will happen, they dont even have a venue sorted yet, which is supposed to happen before a contract is even signed so wouldnt hold my breath on this fight

I thought that initially but both sides would look pretty daft if It didn't happen now, especially considering the grieve they've gave Joshua for not taking the fights. I think it will happen , Fury will get knocked out and retire afterwards and Wilder will fight Joshua.

drugs cheat.
failed a test weeks before the andrade scrap for oxilofrine.hilarious since he's been slating alvarez and wanting all drugs cheats binned sine die.
but never mentioned his mukkers , tyson and hughie fury who both failed previous drugs tests plus it leaves a bad taste how he pulled out on short notice TWICE before his fights with martin murray.

I've always thought Smith was massive talent so wasn't any shame in Rocky getting beat by him.

Obviously Canelo is light years ahead of Rocky but there is a huge size advantage, Canelo is 5'8 and probably a natural welterweight,Rocky is 6'1 and a natural super middleweight that at least makes it interesting. Canelo obviously thinks Rocky will be an easy win for him.

Like I said it was probably the last fight I'd expect to be made right now.
