Anthony Joshua-Rafael Zumbano Love Set For May 9th

So the fact he fought for a world title and mixed it with some very good top heavyweights when they were already ranked pretty highly means nothing? He is not a bum, He's no world beater or anything like that but he is a good test for anybody especially someone who hasn't been past 3 rounds

 

He isn't a bum, but obviously he isn't a contender anymore either. He's never been knocked out though and he's been in with some top fighters. The idea is to give Joshua a 12 round run out to test his stamina. If he knocks KJ out however, then it gives evidence that he has good power.

 

it would be nice if Kingpin came with some intent V Fury he just coverd up and barely through a punch I know he's no power puncher but surely moving jabbing and fireing the right a little would at least be better than just soaking up bombs

But I have no doubt he will just sit coverd up and try and ride out shots for 36 mins I didn't realise how many times he's been in a fight and not won a round

 

Johnhson is a pointless, no chance of losing to him as he throws about three punches a round.

 

experience? one extra payday?

 

Bookies have 1/41 AJ and 18/1 Safety Pin. Jeez, says it all.. :roll:

 

RE the Johnson fight...

It isn't about Johnson being able to win, it's about being able to take Joshua past the 3rd round, urghhhhhhhhhhhh

 

Exactly, he is the kid of guy who gives you rounds, it's a reasonable fight to take on at this stage for someone that has never fought longer than 3.

 

Johnson at this stage is no more than a gatekeeper- it'll be interesting to see if Joshua can stop him but that's the only intrigue in that fight.

 

Yep, guaranteed Joshua will have to go rounds. He may try and pace himself because if hegoes ***** out as he has been doing he will shoot his bolt early and then you are watching Price v Thompson over again. Or more like Haye v Thompson.

 

Ok, let's wait and see.
I expect most comments after the fight will be expressing disgust at Johnson's performance.

 

Worth a punt for you then pal at 18/1. :happy

 

The only shock for me is if Johnson throws a punch

 

This.

A boring one sided beating resulting in a stoppage within 4 rounds. Johnson ends on his feet though.

 

Yep. Good test for AJ and they have sparred each other so they know themselves what the matchup is about at this point in their careers.
