Povetkin is a very underrated scalp for Joshua, I think its that win that along with Klitschko that separates Joshua from the rest of the pack.
Whyte hasn't developed a right hand where it should be from distance. I know why it amazes me no one else does. On that Whyte is Joshuas biggest threat for other reasons in the time frame of now until 2021...( Yes I predicted that to after Even Whyte lost and he was a bum . Lol ) Other then Joe Juggernaut. Whyte should win comfortably against Rivas , I don't think it's as competitive as people think. Rivas imop won't exactly bring Whyte to learn much new , Its a good chance to get another brutal knockout and use his right hand better off a a jab.
I know there were 2 knockdowns. But the first one was obviously a illegal and if you ask me was intentional. There should have been a point deducted there and not a KD. Also the first knockdown and the headbutt obviously harmed Parker game. He was hurt there and obviously his cardio suffer because of that. In the next rounds he was exhausted as hell because of that KD. It`s happen to fighters when they take heavy shot, esp. head shot. So if that doesn`t happen the fight would be different. And if they deduct Whyte a point, this round would be 10-8 but for Parker, because he was winning that round big. And then Whyte would have lost that fight. So the hype train is not real.
Whyte beat Parker only because of ref's blindness. If he saw the headbutt and didn't count Parker, Whyte would've lost the fight. Also few seconds more in the 12 and Parker would've gotten a KO, while Joshua was never in trouble against him.
Yeah I mean Dillians right cross is coming along nicely, look what he did to Chisora in first round with it. I know it is something he is working on, so he will have a lot in his attack arsenal to contend with. Joshua also never troubled Parker with any serious shots. Whyte got involved in an all out trading affair and came out on top. Just ask Parker.
I like Whyte and I like that he’ll take risks to get a good fight but he’s being bigged up to fail. That Parker fight was close and he had some good fortune. The first chisora fight was a war and Chisora was up on the cards in the second fight. He’s good but let’s not get carried away.
Well there we go then, he didn't show up - whereas with Dillian he showed up 10000 % threw the kitchen sink at Dillians face with crazy venom/intent... and Whyte soaked it up... Whyte has a track record of fighting guys when they are pumped up/pissed off/ fully motivated... Chisora/ AJ/ Parker So Whyte beat a stronger Parker.
could see it being close, Parker has the tools but as everyone says, he just doesn’t have that dog in him. would be a close affair
