    2 fights in 3 weeks is excessive. Zumbano and Johnson aren't that kind of bums. I hope his team knows what they are doing.

    Yes it does seem a little excessive. While Joshua didn't look as clinical as he usually does in his last fight this extra fight does seem a bit excessive in terms of prep for Johnson. Zumbano is usually a pretty durable guy he doesn't get blown away early and it seems a lot for Joshua to face 2 durable guys in such a short time period.

    Yes indeed. I haven't watched that fight but Zumbano has stood 10 rounds against Charles Martin who's on a Joshua-esque early KO spree against bums. Johnson has never been KO'd if I'm not wrong - this is not the kind of opposition you'd want to go against in 3 weeks. Gavern was OK, this is not.
