    No, because he's knocking Joshua out.

    Depends on who is judging. There is a history we can go by that should let us know if something doesn't look right before hand. You know who the judges will be?

    Very high chance if it goes the distance or a premature stoppage if he hurts Usyk. AJ walked away with gold after losing half his bouts in London 2012 and aside from one of the judges having him ahead after 8 rounds against Usyk and only giving it to Usyk by a solitary round both Wlad and Povetkin were behind on points at the finish even though they should have been ahead.

    E-Hearn is losing his fighters faster than CEJ is losing his hair and another loss for his other non ginger golden goose AJ would be absolutely catastrophic for ReMatchroom.

    He didn’t get robbed in the UK the first fight so I highly doubt it

    If Joshua makes it yes, he'll try as hard as possible to copy his Ruiz 2 gameplan of run around and jab

    Anything is possible in a close fight this is boxing after all.

    Especially since fury vs AJ is huge money.

    If its close then its not a robbery. It might be a split decision loss if he wins but not dominantly. I'm pretty sure Joshua and Usyk are not going into this fight to get a decision, I hope there'll be a slugfest and Joshua wins for us to get a 3rd fight

    Without a stoppage it's very possible.
    Same with the Bivol rematch.
    Just because a fighter wins the 'right' decision, doesn't mean corruption wasn't taking place. There's just a limit as to how much you can get away with in a global sporting event.

    People are just so used to the corruption now they seem to ignore it.

    The simple fact that the scores were so close in both AJ/Canelo fights despite the B fighter dominating shows very clearly that a robbery was on the cards if the B fighter didn't dominate.

    People need to remember that few expected Usyk and Bivol to dominate like they did. Most expected the fights to be either competitive or for the A fighter to win. And so the handlers were confident that the A fighter would do enough.

    If AJ keeps this fight closer than the first he can absolutely get the corrupt decision.
