Anthony Joshua v Alexander Povetkin

[Alpha]

Povetkin looked like trash against Price, no reason to expect him to turn back the clock

Did he look like trash?

He got caught by a big punching heavyweight. Then regrouped and destroyed him. AJ didn't set the world on fire against a timid Parker.

If AJ wanted to smash up Parker I beleive he could have. As I said I think his trainer told him to fight cautiously and go the distance for the first time.

I thought Povetkin looked pretty good. He basically did what he wanted. Yeah he got clumped and wobbled, Price can still pull some power from the vault.

When Povetkin initiated attacks against Price they were pretty easy to defend. When he punched with him he was dynamite to be fair. I've never been a fan of AJ the boxer on the outside, it just seems forced. If Povetkin gets inside and rattles the same kind of punches off of Joshua's noggin, as he did Price, he'll knock him out.

Povetkin got wobbled by Price , but if we rewatch it , it's very clear that it was more a balance thing than anything else. Furthermore, it was clear to see that he wasn't buzzed or anything, he was fine. I heard Tyson Fury in an interview the other day say that the bell saved Povetkin, I think that's codswallop to be fair. Although nearly every HW to a man says that whatever Price's shortcomings , he is one of the heaviest hitters in the division .
so even if he was buzzed, it's not a major issue, (but he wasn't.)
