Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua vs. Daniel Raphael Dubois & Anthony Cacace vs. Josh Warrington RBR.

That's how I see it besides the Kelly fight.

 

Still undecided on the main event. Joshua is rightly the favourite but we all know he doesn't like getting hit and Dubois is his first opponent in years (MMA fighter aside) who's got decent power.

On the other hand Dubois has questionable defence and if he takes anywhere near the amount of right hands as he took early on v Hrgovic then it'll be over very quickly.

Cracking matchup though. I think Joshua will come out quite cautious to begin with to try and establish his jab and get the distance right before stepping up the pace from the 3rd or 4th. However that strategy could easily backfire on him if he takes a heavy shot early doors and he then may struggle to turn it around.

Gonna have two bets on this one I think. Dubois 4-6 and Joshua 7-9.

 

As for the other fights:

Sheeraz mid round KO
Hutchinson SD
Cacace late KO
Kelly UD

 

He sounds a bit punchy to me already and he’s only in his mid 20s. If Buatsi doesn't look clinical tonight, there is no point him boxing either of the 2 top dogs.

 

I don't know what people are seeing in Dubois. He is pretty much made for Joshua, no head movement and stays in range.

 

I agree that it’s a straight forward early kayo for AJ.

 

The one thing in Dubois' favour is that the younger up and coming fighter beats the experienced hand more often than not. I could be wrong but I think Dubois has more to offer than he's shown so far.

 

After AJ's victory tonight, I guess Eddie Hearn will say that Joshua has surpassed Muhammad Ali.

 

I'm going for the upset. Dubois to win by KO, which will result in a rematch early next year.

 

I'm excited for the whole card. Nice early start time to kick it off and main event supposedly first bell begins at 10pm. See if that last part happens.

My picks:

Joshua KO/TKO
Sheeraz KO/TKO
Kelly Points
Buatsi Points
Cacace KO/TKO
Chamberlain KO/TKO

 

AJ - Win by KO R6-8
Buatsi - Win by a late TKO or Points
Cacace - Win by KO R10
Sheeraz - Win by TKO R8
Kelly - Win by Points UD.

 

I am currently in the big apple, near Time Square.

Does anybody know of a sports bar in that vicinity that might be showing AJ v DuBois ?

 

Good fight that, Padley is game. Took the chance there to change his life, crazy he is still part time.

 

Great job from Padley

 

Stadium is still mainly empty. Really don't see why people pay all that money for a ticket and then miss most of the card, especially when it's a great one like this.
