    Zumbano looks durable doesn't seem to get blown away early he took charles martin 10 rounds who looks like hes was on a simallar run to joshua ko'ing people early. Surprised they are gonna let Joshua face 2 durable fighters in the same month.

    Just watched Zumbano v Briggs. Christ Allmighty ! He is Godawfu!l Briggs slowed from a walk to a crawl and has about as much left as Kimbo Slice and Zumbano did nothing but run behind a pawing left I can't bring myself to call it a jab.
    I've defended the calibre of Joshua's opponents, but this one is beyond defending,strictly target practise.

    C'mon man. Ya can't have been expecting anything better with the Kevin Johnson fight 3 weeks after. Be realistic here. No fighter in the world would fight 2 tests 3 weeks apart. It was always gonna be a walk over fight before his first test in johnson

    Given he is fighting KJ in a few weeks, I really don't understand the point of this. If he didn't fight Gavern then sure but both seems dumb.

    Point of it is cos Eddie needs to put someone onto his god awful birmingham show.

    And he hopes sticking Joshua on he will fool the public

    He would get a better tune up sparring its a cynical attempt to get paid traning by Hearn.

    Zumbano has been KOd in 2 of his last 3 fights.

    What's the point ?

    This is pointless, he gets better sparring.

    Another reason for people to switch off, more over exposure against another over matched out of his depth victim.
