    The Ortiz fight has much higher chance of going this way than the Hunter fight. He’s definitely in decline, but it’s impossible to know how rapid it is.

    I think the Junior Bounty Hunter takes it.

    He's picked up Joshua's scent & is coming for him.

    I expect to see one of the biggest upsets in boxing history.

    I like Hunter but it's AJ in under 7 rounds.

    How about he blew away Kiladze quicker than Kownacki and in the same round as Joyce. He destroyed Ustinov more impressively than Pulev, and unlike Charr actually beat him. And has a win over Bakole, a guy that just beat Wach by legitimate stoppage and quicker than Povetkin an Miller's injury induced TKO's, something no one else has accomplished. That's pretty ****ing impressive for a Cruiserweight, what he's done in his three fights at Heavyweight is better than anything guys like Dubois, SIrenko, Dychko, Yoka and Gorman have come close to achieving. Hell, in terms of wins, his resume is slightly more impressive than Joyce's, and he definitely performed better against Usyk than Joe did.

    Like I laughed at Behemoth Bakole when Midget Mike Hunter beat him into a bandy-legged mess, the same Bakole who beat the dog**** out of AJ in sparring and did the Congo Dongo on his head. The same Bakole who just pulverised the guy with the best chin in boxing Wach into a bandy-legged mess in front of his home fans. Wach said Bakole is the hardest puncher he's ever faced and Hunter taxed Bakole's ass and AJ is next on his hit list.

    Hunter>>Bakole>>AJ>>Whyte

    People are underestimating Hunter. He's physically fit with some very good technical boxing skills, unlike some of the so-called "heavyweight contenders". And he's shown in his recent fights at heavyweight he can punch.

    Joshua is the obvious favourite to win, but it will be a difficult competitive fight and I think Hunter will last the distance.

    How does Hunter fight? Is a mover? How is his KO power?

    Anyone who stands in front of Joshua is getting obliterated.

    Hunter vs Bakole just showed me that Hunter isn't ready for the top 5 at HW. Joshua stops him in 5. I don't think Hunter is as good as peak Jennings if I'm honest.

    If anything, that should have showed you he is.

    Bakole was landing flush and had Hunter gassing by round 7. If Bakole didn't hurt his arm then that fight could have easily went a different way. Since AJ clearly does everything better than Bakole I'm not sure how Hunter expects to win. It's going to become very apparent in the first 3 rounds when Hunter will be unable to dictate the pace with his jab to the body as he has been so far in his HW campaign.

    Bakole's also a huge puncher, Hunter was rarely tagged really flush, and when he was tagged, he took it well, Hunter won basically every round, he didn't gas bad enough to stop throwing non stop until the final bell, and he was clearly far better conditioned his next time out. He's been training for another fight, so if he gets this one, he'll be more than ready.

    Hunter has my respect at least as he is an American ready to fight in MSG unlike the rest of the 1812s .

    Ok Serge, look just tell us your lame excuse when AJ walks through Hunter...

    Lucky shot by AJ?

    Hunter didn't turn up/ didn't perform?

    Referee helped AJ?

    Hunter didn't have enough time to prepare?
