Well that should tell you how much they consider Whyte a genuine live opponent. AJ has had a full 3 month training camp, taking no chances and taking this very seriously.
:rofl I swear I actually thought somebody would type something like that when I saw the other post Quality Marv :good
Its a possibility, you never no, unless they have a ppv trick up their sleeve, gives time to add 'big' mismatches to the card
It's also the first time AJ has had a fighter actively try to get under his skin. Quotes to the press, tension at the conferences etc. Joshua does seem pretty agitated around Whyte.
50/50. AJ isn't going to go all gunz blazing at Whyte like he did every body else. Whyte has pretty good upper body mobility and could catch Joshua clean who is way too stiff up top. He hasn't proved to me he can box an intelligent out side game plan yet. Whyte may be able to keep him off with the jab and take him into the late rounds. Whyte is better than given credit for. The guy he fought last time was a better opponent than Gary Cornish.
