Joshua is an exceptional tactician, his style does not suit Hrgovic...

    Joshua is an exceptional technician and also strong, Hrgovic should be 100% prepared without being able to afford to lose his focus for a moment...

    He will beat him for me, although I’m still not sold on his ‘new mentality’ and his durability is far inferior to the big Croats. It’s a good fight, and I make AJ the favourite but an upset is not out the question.

    AJ is a bodybuilding bum and Hurgovic will take him into deep waters

    AJ has to come out on top in the late rounds where Hurgovic seems to drop the pace but always a chance AJ slows also.

    For a bum he seemed to make easy work of an opponent your man crush went life and death with....strange that isn't it

    I think it’s too soon to call Joshua an exceptional tactician. He has proven he can learn from mistakes and improve.

    That said I always thought Wallin would be tailor-made for Joshua despite Fury having a tough time with him, since Joshua does have a good check hook.

    No, he isn't. A.J. is very basic and after 4 trainers still looks like the same fighter.

    Hrgovic's issue is that he's slow and stationary. Don't think he can take advantage of A.J.'s lack of footwork.

    All joking apart, Joshua went 24 rounds with the pound for pound best boxer in the world, he will have learned more in those rounds than all his other fights put together.

    He’s improved his boxing IQ, has always had power and the combination punches to get it home and also seems to have found his mentality and confidence again.

    Hes a problem for anyone stood in the opposite corner
