Joshua a -600 favorite, meaning you’d have to bet $600 on a Joshua victory to win $100.

    1/6 = almost 17% return in 1 day for an almost sure bet. Not bad at all.

    I've been listening closely to the knowledgeable and impartial experts on this forum, seems like the jig is up for AJ in this one.
    Having snaked his way to the majority of belts with the cheating Eddie Hearn and a boat full of roids, he is ready to be toppled!
    After all, Povetkin is too small and was always rubbish, Parker was a novice and Klitschko was near death's door.
    Joshua's entire boxing career has been smoke and mirrors and I can assure everyone that the entirely talentless AJ will be exposed since he will be outside of the UK where the testing agencies are openly lying to protect him and the refs told to stop all his fights early.
    Miller to derail the Joshua train, it's obvious!

    Yeah can't see Miller just walk through Joshua's punches, especially not multiple ones as he's so easy to hit.

    Even if Miller leans on Joshua that 300lbs isn't that big a deal for Joshua who is big himself and strong as ****. There's video's of him deadlifting over 400lbs for reps with bands. Plus on the inside Miller leans over too much he's wide open for an uppercut, when he does get inside he's in for a rude awakening.

    He has as much pop as Whyte and Whyte almost had Joshua doing a robot dance.

    Admittedly though people shouldn’t have been that surprised, since Povetkin despite being an older fighter is still extremely experienced, can fight really well on the inside, and unlike Stiverne he still has the motivation to win.

    The biggest problem I think Miller is going to have is dealing with Joshua’s check hook. If Miller can’t neutralize it early Joshua is going give him a one sided beat down.

    Miller even shut his eyes bracing himself for an uppercut coming his way even after he saw the punch coming! I think that`s how AJ might get him with the kind of uppercut he rocked Wlad with.

    He doesn`t hit even nearly as hard as Whyte, you think Miller could inflict a one punch KO over Chisora?

    Agreed I for one expected Povetkin to give him problems early, but even I didn't expect Povetkin to do as well as he did, I had him winning before the stoppage. I just expected him to maybe win a couple of early rounds and then have the odd moment where he'd land the odd hard shot, but he was consistently having success throughout the fight until Joshua set him up for the right hand.

    Whyte does not knock out Duhaupas or Wach, he couldn't knock out Dave Allen and went 10 with Ian Lewison FFS..

    Yep that's the price you pay coming in so big you can't get out of the way even if you see it coming.

    Those thinking Miller will win are just putting all their faith in the fact Miller can impose his weight on Joshua then make him gas. But Miller really isn't that physical a fighter on the inside, he was continually backed up by Wach in the clinches, he squares up and leans over which will just lead to Joshua leaning on him from above like vs Parker or throwing the left to make him duck, keep the left on the back of his head then rip the uppercut.

    I hope Miller is being paid well because he's in for a very unpleasant night when he steps in with Joshua.

    Disagree with you there , I watched it back the other day - povetkin was dangerous rounds 1-3 and then had noticeably less success after that , AJ well and truly weathered the storm and KOd him. I scored it 3-3 with Povetkin the first 3.

    I had it 4-2 Povetkin on the night.

    But I will admit rewatching it I had Joshua having more success than I thought, I could see why you scored it 3-3 it was closer than my initial impression on the night.

    I was out the night of the fight , it was on in the background and couldn’t watch it properly. I watched it again on YouTube but then properly recently when I realised it was on Sky.

    I was surprised at how dangerous Povetkin looked early on , AJ looked a bit lost but then after round 3 either povetkin tired or AJ figured him out. Povetkin kept jumping in with hooks and catching AJ clean early but then that stopped and then AJ was teeing off on him and game over.

    Definitely not an easy nights work but I have povetkin at number 6 so never gonna be that easy..
