Can big AJ become the first man to stop Kevin Johnson this Sat at the o2....or will Johnson expose Joshua as a hype job like he said he's going to do? :think
KJ is tough and experienced, which might mean he takes AJ the distance. I see a harder fight than Joshua is used to, and he will be put to the test for a few rounds while Kevin gets his sh*t together.:think
Johnson doesn't tend to 'have a go' in these type of fights, just likes to last the distance. Hence I don't think he has much of a chance of beating Big AJ
Here's my honest PROS & CONS of this fight for KINGPIN PROS: This is his first fight under his new management team (actually he went back to his brother's management after the old management team screwed his career). This is the first fight since Leapai that KINGPIN has had a full training camp, complete with viable sparring partners. (KINGPIN since Leapai has gone 3 wins and 5 losses (2 wins in Prizefighter in that time). This is a Major step up for Joshua. Can Joshua handle the spotlight...??? CONS: KINGPIN pretty much has came to terms that his career is now just a name on up-and-comers resumes KINGPIN tends to lay on the ropes too much, Joshua is apt at pushing his opponent towards the ropes British Stoppage...??? Highly possible
That pretty much sums up this fight. Joshua will throw and throw and Johnson will give nothing back, as always these days. An accumulation of punches will see him stopped, British stoppage or no.
Dennis Bakhtov...??? The same Bakhtov that got KO'd vs Charr...??? The same Bakhtov that is being fed to Arnold "The Cobra" Gjergjaj...???
