Not the best Sky card but still some decent matchups. Campbell vs Coyle should be entertaining

The reason you don't know what Joshua is like fighting someone off is because so far he has annihilated all the former world/British/European champion/challengers that were meant to take him rounds.
The fact that guys like Kevin Johnson can so comfortably take a world rated, experienced professional like Tyson Fury 12 rounds - on two weeks notice, without breaking sweat - yet can't last 6 minutes with Joshua - with a full training camp - would suggest, to the non-deluded, the outstanding talent/potential AJ has.
We've seen the young amateur Joshua go down and then get straight back up again. There's more chance of this mature pro version of Joshua getting himself disqualified (vicious sod doesn't stop punching when bods are on the floor) than his "chin" holding him back.
Nice to see you'll give him some credit if he beats the "risky" Cornish.

Indeed.
Re: Campbell-Coyle/Whyte-Costa Jr/Rose-Jones rematch and Burns
Jones chinned Rose in the 1st round last time, granted he was losing the round at the time and maybe it was a bit premature. I still can't work out why Jones can't beat him again though
He's half the price he was last time for the stoppage but still

"Listen, Joshua ain't no bad man, he's from Watford, he went to private school, I'm from London, he can't survive from where I'm from" ;D (This fella is a character)

Only just noticed this post.
Johnson had no desire left. There is 2 and a half years and 3 losses difference between the Johnson Tyson faced and what Joshua faced. The Louis that beat Walcott was a world of difference away from the one that faced Marciano. The Holmes Tyson faced was apparently washed up compared to the version Spinks faced. Plenty of examples of rapid decline in fighters in less periods of time.
Yes as much as Cornish isnt really rated he is a risk in that it is the first live ambitious opponent he has faced and a better opponent for it than Joshuas previous. I have to admit I dont know much about Cornish but hes unbeaten and wanted this bout. Maybe hes just getting paid well because he didnt want to fight Whyte for the british?
Also, for a fighter to progress they need opponents with ambition. You can as feed many ex title challengers as you want but if their challenge was years and losses ago the relevance of any win isnt much. They are called journeymen and are really only record fillers as opposed to learning fights.
Its now getting interesting and hopefully we see someone push Joshua. Im not against him im just not sold on him yet as he hasnt had to prove anything yet but now come some live bodies.
Re: Campbell-Coyle/Whyte-Costa Jr/Rose-Jones rematch and Burns - Sat/SKY
Campbell too talented for Coyle
Re: Campbell-Coyle/Whyte-Costa Jr/Rose-Jones rematch and Burns - Sat/SKY
Campbell I feel is a World Champion in waiting a very talented fighter, this is a domestic dust
up he will beat Coyle Rose well is about domestic level no more,! Whyte is big and strong but
when he meets AJ again good night Mr Whyte.
Re: Campbell-Coyle/Whyte-Costa Jr/Rose-Jones rematch and Burns - Sat/SKY
There's been a vicious streak come out of Campbell in the build-up to this fight. I think he's going to batter Coyle. Quick.
Rds 1-3 is a 4/1 shot. Rds 4-5 are 9/1.
Still have no idea why Carson Jones is the underdog against Rose. He didn't even have a trainer last time, this time Abel Sanchez is with him. He has better form, chin, power and Rose has to mentally deal with being chinned out first time around. The only thing he has against him is being away from home and natural size. I can't see why this fight should be much different to the first?
Jones KO 5/2.
Re: Campbell-Coyle/Whyte-Costa Jr/Rose-Jones rematch and Burns - Sat/SKY
I fancy Campbell inside 3 rounds tonight. Coyle is levels below him and this won't be a close fight.
Looking forward to seeing Dillian Whyte tonight. I didn't really get a good sense of what he was all about on the Frampton undercard because they guy he fought just kinda gave up.
Rose and Jones is the interesting fight. I think Jones will stop him again, but not as quickly as before.

Ignore the first message, 2nd stream I sent you is very good. Recheck your pm.
Re: Campbell-Coyle/Whyte-Costa Jr/Rose-Jones rematch and Burns - Sat/SKY
Not a Ward fan. I don't see anything special in what he does.
Re: Campbell-Coyle/Whyte-Costa Jr/Rose-Jones rematch and Burns - Sat/SKY
Luis Collazo could win this if he goes back to southpaw
