Now 3-0, 3Ko's. The 22-year-old from Ukraine could have a future. The action starts at the 6:25 mark below
Seen all his pro fights so far and some amateur bits. Looks solid, definitely tell he has a lot of amateur pedigree Can really hear the power in his punches when he lands. Certainly one of the best HW prospects
@Mendoza & @GALVATRON this threads needs updating Sirenko is a beast. Hope he steps up the opposition soon
He doesn't need to step up soon he's just going to slowly come out of left field ...probably by 2020,and break a top 20 spot ,I don't think he makes a move until around 2021 and he gets Joshua in around 2023...he'll be around 28 or so . He defeats most now ,but its not the way to go to fine tune skill sets, under Bashir he's not going to send him into any fight he knows he cant win. Most of problem is getting in rounds, hes only gone the distance once and that was a 6 rounder he took on a weeks notice. A lot of talk about this and that guy, but he IS the guy to give Joshua the most potential threat. No one currently will defeat Joshua ,Sirenko has the right things to cause a title change....the others ? Joshua is just to good he's levels over everybody now , and a few are no walk overs, Hrgovic, Joyce, and DDD, are his immediate future threats. Fury, Wilder ,Ortiz and Whyte pose very little threat to Joshua,he will defeat all SOUNDLY .
I think Sirenko should this year be looking at facing the likes of Eric Molina, Bermaine Stiverne, Dillon Carman. That would be good progression for him. Or at least someone like Arnold Gjergjaj, Franz Rill. He's too good to be facing the weak opposition he has been doing. I think Fury would school Joshua, and Wilder and Kownacki have punchers chances. I see Usyk, Hrgovic, Sirenko, Makhmudov as big future threats to him, Dychko and Teslenko maybe too. The Heavyweight division is gonna get very interesting with all these top prospects coming up.
Fury has no power to remotely do anything to Joshua. Kownacki isn't a true top 10 fighter. Wilder will get demolished inside 5 rounds. ( Don't be shocked if he loses to Breazeale ) Sirenko wont step up that quickly ,.he will need more fights to limit potential bumps and learn to take less punishment hes 2 years off from doing that, this is the long game not the short game. Usyk will get countered to death by joshuas right hand ..NO southpaw can defeat AJ. Makhumodov is easily predictable and doesn't have a quality jab . Hes a heavy handed guy but is basically an aggressive Vitali like style but he only goes one motion and that's forward trying to bully through everyone ( clubbing ), he's got way open defense. This wont work against Joshua either. Hes like a stronger Hrgovic but less skilled and lacks ring IQ it seems. Hrgovic will put up a good fight but in the end Joshua is also 6'6 and will reach his lean back defense,its will work but not for an entire fight, most big pressure fighters will pose problems for him ( see Joyce ) Guido Vienello is also a Hrgovic TYPE fighter ( a bit weaker ) and very tall around 6'7 and lost to another aggressive style Makhumodov .
??? Vienello is nothing like Hrgovic. He’s got top level speed and less power and durability. Joshua struggled vs an old Povetkin. Many on the list can either box or punch better than Povetkin. Joshua isn’t much better than average in defense either.
Nothing I wrote was incorrect. Joshua did struggle a bit vs Povetkin who age 38. I think your confusing Vinello with somebody else. Joshua isn't a good counter guy either. Which Southpaw did he bet with ability?
Cornell fights off off angles and the back foot against pressure guys so yea you didn't get it right bc that's what Hrgovic does. When has Povetkin lost and where do you rank him now as an old man out of the retirement home ? Lol Joshua not a good counter guy ? Yep we're done here! Lol
