Think AJ showed an ok chin and ok staminer tonight. I said OK.. What do you lot think. I had bet AJ in 3 and a cover bet for round 4.Whyte has got up in my book.
Honestly he looked a level above but there were flaws we saw tonight. Slow feet, no upper body movement, very little head movement and he should of used the jab much much more. Think speed could be his kryptonite.
AJ was gassed after 1 minute in the second round. His chin is very mediocre. He will get knocked out when he finally steps up.
Great fight for him, am a big fan but he really needed to get rocked if only the once, now it's not a new experience anymore, will do him the world of good
He was blowing out his **** at one point I think there are doubts over his stamina and he is stiff and upright as well. I aint a fan of Fury but he will out hussle him.
AJ did look stiff, slow, muscle-bound. In round 2 he was one good shot from being bang in trouble. He barely moved that round, stood literally in the same spot for most of it.
Reminds me of Frank Bruno. Can dish it out but a bit too muscle bound, stiff and upright for my liking.
I thought Whyte was actually pretty poor. Apart from the success in the 2nd round he ran out of steam himself, hardly threw anything and what he did was pawing. Joshua looked levels above but will be a test vs Haye.
Without the massive terrestrial exposure and panto. I don't think Joshua's hype train is derailed totally but Hearn will match him more conservatively next year. Who is mandatory for the British now? Chisora?
I think this fight throws up more questions than answers - especially on fighting an opponent with speed and a good chin AJ hasnt proved he has stamina - quite the reverse - he was up against someone with a decent chin and AJ looked very tired and one paced after the first round at times. Looking like a bodybuilder and focusing on muscle gain is a mistake that Frank Bruno made. It makes you look impressive and may help with single shot power - but it also slows a boxer down and makes them tire quicker especially if they are missing.
