Let's be real, Tyson Fury beats Joshua easily

You’d think so. But if Joshua were to win you’d have to say there’s been some much bigger upsets. I except fury to win if he comes in in the right frame of mind and does what he should, but they’re close-ish in the betting for a reason.

 

Yeah i dont think its an easy nights work for either man and can see AJs straight right causing Fury problems.

 

Joshua doesn't have as much power as Wilder, but he does have plenty of power in variety of shots. His uppercut is particularly good and could KO fury if the opportunity presented itself. That being said, Fury will wear Joshua down, he has a better engine and will box his head off especially in the later rounds IMO. But it is heavyweight boxing and Joshua has more than a punchers chance.

 

More Joshua (femi) resume myth.
Joshua (femi) hasnt fought a man under the age of 39

 

I expect Fury to win but not based on how he beat Wilder, who was a hell of a one trick pony but a one trick pony he was. Fury won’t be able to walk AJ down like he did Wilder. AJ has an active guard, he feints, changes angles and has far more punch variety than Wilder. I expect Fury to box a lot closer to how he did in the first Wilder fight and only get his weight under him and go on the front foot when AJ loses steam in the middle rounds. It will be a competitive fight.

 

AJ opposition aged 39+

Pulev - IBF Mandatory
Povetkin - WBA Mandatory
Klitschko - IBF/WBA Unification
Sprott - 10th Pro fight
Skelton - 7th Pro fight

 

Thats his 5 best wins

 

In reality it's much closer to a 50%-50% than most people give it credit for, certainly will not be remotely easy for Fury.

I expect it to be nothing like the Wilder fight. It will be a bit of chess match for the first part of the fight. Fury will box and move, he will not look to set his feet and unload, until he knows AJ is tired and/or visibly hurt. He will certainly not go looking for an early KO and will not risk leaving himself wide open to an uppercut or right hand.

He will be banking on his superior boxing skills and in particular his footwork and timing, you can disregard anything else he says as pure bravado.

I give Tyson Fury the edge but in no way make him a big favorite. If AJ stopped him in 9 rounds for e.g. it would not be any sort of upset, at least in my opinion.

Anthony Joshua is oddly underrated on here, I get the feeling it comes more from a personal dislike for him than any logical reason.

 

It may well turn out to be a stinkfest.

AJ likes to set traps while fury likes to be elusive , hit and move.

I like the fact Fury has said he got dropped by AJ years ago and I also like the idea of AJ being well behind on the cards and emptying the tank on fury for the last couple of rounds in desperation, you never know

 

People talk about Joshua's uppercut as if it's ridiculously powerful. He hit old, tired, single-glazing Klitschko with it and it didn't even put him down! He hit old, tired Pulev with it about 4 times in succession and I don't think it put him down.

There's more chance of Fury hitting Joshua with a stiff jab that sends Joshua doing a funny dance than Fury being KO'd by a Joshua uppercut.

 

Ah another troll account

These guys have been busy as of late

 

There's so many at the moment. I give it 4 days until this dickhead is banned.
