Joshua vs Gary Cornish

This hasn't been announced has it? Not a bad fight though really, the guy is 21-0, not a bad fight for anyone, against a fighter who is there to win.

 

Please no!
Joshua may as well sell tickets to watch a heavy bag session, and a short one, for its as much as Cornish will offer.

 

Is this official???

 

Come orf it - Cornish Wafer stands no chance at all. atsch

Another night, another can and another shyte fight.

Thought he might step it up and fight Paul O'Grady by now.

 

If you've gone 10 rounds with Larry Olubamiwo you shouldn't be allowed anywhere near Joshua. Cornish probably wouldn't even beat Kevin Johnson.

 

No but there aren't many fighters that do stand a chance. You need to be world champion or a top world contender to stand a chance in my opinion, Cornish will lose by KO but look at his record 21-0, he is no mug, he might not be great but he is still a good fighter and this will be AJ fighting for the British title.

 

If Cornish wins he is 22-0 and feeling pretty smug. It's no lose for Cornish. Is it official for the British title?

 

All these fights against mainly fat and old defenceless men is a national scandal and all involved including BJ and Matchroom should be ashamed.

I agree with your ****ysis above which makes the can fights even more annoying.

Some stiff is going to be seriously damaged if this keeps happening in boxing and there really needs to be govt intervention to stop this shyte.

BJ should be taking on someone of the calibre of Fury around now and fighting for a World Title by the middle of next year at the latest.

We will probably find him fighting the next level of bums for another 2-3 years at least including Chisora, Wach, Charr, Chagaev, Pianeta, Perez.

 

Very disappointing fight. I really don't think Cornish could beat Johnson, Bahktov or Airich. Big fan of Hearn but he is annoying me with his matching of Joshua and is going to mess his career up. We had potentially Wach and Hearn basically said "it would be a good learning fight, get rounds against someone durable, but no in the UK knows who he is". No one knows who Cornish is! Difference being, Cornish will not get out of the first round and is a major step backwards. The thing that annoys me most is Joshua doesn't need more hype, he needs less! He's No.1 with WBC for christ sake! He desperately needs rounds and to deny him good fights because there won't be hype (as if Sky couldn't build Wach up) is downright pathetic, bad management and embarrassing for Joshua and British boxing.

Stop the needless hype and get some proper fights made for f*** sake!!!

 

lol at the government intervention that's made me p1ss myself laughing for some reason.

wach would be a good opponent, someone taller who can give him a few rounds without offering a huge ko threat. If he's pulled out of the manc fight fighting Cornish is a bit pointless.

suppose he's already ranked no2 with wbc, so will be mando fairly soon for wilder / povetkin so there may not be a point in risking him against anyone decent, but it'll cause his career to lose momentum + increased criticism

 

Cornish would get starched by Lewison let alone Joshua.

 

Gary Cornish Pasty!! My honest worry is that fighting these average fighters will do nothing for his first big test. AJ is at Chisora level already and these fights might be AJs downfall.

 

Wait until one of these cans is seriously hurt mate and see what happens when there is a public uproar.

It is like bashing defenceless old people on the street but is deemed somehow legal.
