Otto Wallin has sparred 150 rounds with AJ!

The primary job of a sparring partner for AJ is to give him confidence.

 

Probably the same for Fury for his fight with Ngannou.

 

“Brilliant Tyson, Brilliant” - his team yelling as Fury scrapes himself off the canvas against a boxing debutant

 

I will LOL if the sparring partner turns up the dial to 11 and whoops him

 

AJ will knock out Wallin in 4 and make a statement.

 

similar thing happend with PArker who'd sparred Cojanu many times then went out and stunk the place up against him. everyone blamed it on them being spoarring partners so knowing eachother's game too well

 

...they sparred a bunch nearly 10 years ago? Well that's a lifetime in boxing...in the meantime Ottos stock has rose while AJ stock has decreased.

Its not far from 50/50 albeit maybe slight edge for AJ.

 

Clearly AJ feels he performed well in those sparring sessions otherwise he wouldn't take it.

Clearly Otto feels he has improved enough that he'd beat that version of AJ.

AJ could be in for a very rude awakening if in the first round it doesn't feel at all like those sparring sessions 8 years ago!

 

• Anthony Joshua KOes Otto Wallin
• Deontay Wilder KOes Joseph Parker or Parker decisions him
• Dmitrii Bivol decisions Lyndon Arthur
• Jai Opetaia KOes Ellis Zorro
• Jarrell Miller KOes Daniel Dubois => nope Dubois koes fat boy
• Agit Kabayel decisions Arslanbek Makhmudov => nope brutal ko by makhmudov
• Frank Sanchez decisions Junior Fa
• Filip Hrgovic KOes Mark De Mori

Holmes had been a long-time sparring partner for Ali before they fought. Still whopped Ali's ass big time.

 

Otto Wallin fancies the job big time here. I think the experience sparring helps the boxer/spoiler.

Big upset coming.

 

Should be a good night of stoppages.

- AJ will knock Wallin out. They'll then big AJ on the back of him stopping someone Fury didn't.
- Wilder will knock Parker out unless Parker shy's away like he did vs AJ and tries to ride out the 12 rounds.
- Hrgovic will wipe De Mori out inside 1 round (horrific fight)
- Dubois will stop that the lub of lard Miller now that he's not on the juice and going by his last fight his cardio has vanished.
- Bivol will stop a gun shy Lyndon Arthur
- Opetaia will KO Zorro.

 

That's weird logic, pal. Like saying ought to have beat DLH because they sparred when Julio was the bigger established name.
