    Povetkin. But Joshua was defending his attacks better as the rounds went on.

    Close though, but def Povetkin.

    Povetkin but he started slowing down in the end and AJ sensed it and went for the kill at the right time

    Povetkin was just a few years too old in the end. He was giving away 10 years to Joshua which is a lot for a challenger.

    I think it was 51:49 in favour of Joshua.

    It was closer than Froch had it, but the fight was visibly moving AJs way and I think the balance had just about shifted towards him,.

    Who cares? The only thing that matters is the final outcome, and that was a stoppage win for Joshua.

    I had Povetkin up, I gave him 4 rounds easily. Joshua was too static and Povetkin was able to come in with sneaky right hands and that left hook, left uppercut combo. Yes Joshua had success with his jab and controlled a lot of the round usually but Povetkin was the one dictating the fight and the one doing the real damage. Only clear round I had for Joshua was the 4th prior to the stoppage.
