Tough call as AJ is tailor made for Purple Aki. PA would adapt a jab and grab style with the sole intention of getting close to Joshua's muscles and clawing away with his glove for even the slightest squeeze. This helps Aki win 1/2 rounds as he'd be scoring jabs whilst avoiding AJ's strikes as he clinches for most of the rounds. PA eventually throws the fight away in R3 though, as he'd no longer be able to control himself and rips his gloves/wraps off for a full-on bare handed squeeze which gets him disqualified. Joshua is declared the winner to PA's disappointment, yet his sadness turns to joy as AJ comes over to embrace him after the fight - Aki simply can't let go of him, and security has to get involved. AJ exits the arena.
Hard to predict. But someones muscle WILL be squeezed that night. My question is, how much will the gloves impede Akis squeezing technique. As far as I know, he was purely a bareknuckle-squeezer, so can he cope?
Another thing which springs to mind; PA is known as a formidable squeezer, but how does he cope as a squeezee? Does AJ adapt to outsqueeze him to a UD, or is PA just too experienced?
