Love has a few tricks up his sleeve and can take a punch. Something of a Latin McNugget. Not at all saying Joshua doesnt get another stoppage, but Love might have some success if he can get inside the taller man and smother his work. Bang the body and wrestle a bunch and frustrate the young fighter. Nothing Joshua wouldnt have seen throughout his extensive amateur career, but still something a little different than what he's been in against in the pros. :think:think:think
Which Round? I think he should be talking punches or seconds I'll go for second right hand thrown from AJ.
Joshua fights Kevin Johnson in 3 weeks. Its excessive. Zumbano and Johnson arent that kind of bums you can fight 20 days apart. I hope his management knows what they are doing.
Zumbano Love is usually a pretty durable guy, not the type to be blown away quickly so he might take Joshua a few rounds. Would be surprised if it went beyond 6 rounds though.
Yes he's durable and tough. But he suffered 2 brutal beatings in the last 4 months at the hands of Molina and Martin. What is worse, guy was not only stopped 2 times, but he took lots of clean shots in both fights. If the referee won't stop it early, Love's health is in danger tonight as it would be his 3rd beating in such a short period.
Joshua shouldn't rush this. Kingpin can go the distance, so this will be a good opportunity for Joshua to pace his fight and prepare for 12-rounds because the 3-round affairs won't go on forever.
Round 1: Joshua controlling the pace with his jab, which seems to be a very powerful tool for him. Landed some power shots as well, head, body, throwing good combinations. Love takes it well. Love trying to jab back, but only a few punches landed. Clear Joshua round. 10-9 Joshua
