That is the third factor - no crowd. Possibly might hinder Joshua not having his usual legions chanting Ohhh Antony Joshua, he didn't travel well in the Garden with fewer fans.
Maybe Pulev will box and move with his vicious jab keeping AJ away and then wins on points In AJs own back yard.... God could you imagine. Dominating AJ by keeping him away and jabbing his face away. If Pulev doesnt do that or at least tie AJ up then AJ TKO by his strong combination punches. for 25 quid I hope we get at least 6 rounds of good boxing. Wont look good for AJ If he doesnt knock Pulev out though... Or even stop him. Especially as Vlad did It In great fashion. Box and move Pulev. The bodybuilder will be tired after 4 rounds.
dude, this thread you started is a thinly veiled excuse for sh*tting on Joshua and that’s cool, that’s your lookout, end of the day it’s a mandatory defence, is it a fight I care too much about? Meh. Not really, he’s a unified champion and he’ll have to defend the belts, like I said previously this would be way down the list of his accomplishments if he were to win, I don’t particularly like him but let’s not pretend it’s anything else.
And AJ ate their right hands and left hooks and people still have the audacity to say he has a weak chin. Wilder would have been sleeping if they landed hence why he ducked Wlad.
Joshua took a lot more flush shots from Wlad than just the straight right in the sixth round and you don’t think he can take Pulev’s so called bombs lol? AJ’s chin is so damn underrated. Wilder would have been sleeping if Wlad landed that right hand on him and nobody calls him chinny even after he was out on his feet after Molina landed a feeble left hook.
He was dropped every time Wlad landed the left hook. Landed the same shots on Joshua and didn’t drop him even while Joshua was gassed out.
That “China chin” took a flush right hand from Klitschko and those same left hooks that kept putting Pulev on his backside. Don’t be an idiot. You’d have to be incredibly ignorant or incredibly biased to think Joshua has a China chin.
Most of the shots that Wlad landed on AJ after the initial knockdown were partially blocked or rolled with. The ones he landed on Pulev were flush as hell. Big difference.
Watch round 5 pal. Landed 3 left hooks in that round and one of them connected completely flush while AJ was gassed out. AJ has a better chin than Pulev. Watch round 5.
This. Maybe people don't see it but Wlad slowed down visibly in his last couple of fights. That's the difference between a glancing blow and a sweat-spraying bomb.
This content is protected 1:50 onwards. Takes a flush right hand and a flush left hook while gassed out. Joshua’s chin is decent.
