Re: Anthony Joshua promises to bring back aggressive style against Alexander Povetkin
I’ve felt through the build up that Povetkin looked lean and I worryingly think it’s a bit of a statement of intent. He doesn’t feel he loses any power being a touch lighter, whereas listening to Eddie Hearn , it seems like AJ works his weight according to the type of opponent. Lighter for Parker, heavier for Takam/Pulev (I put that down to a late change of opponent and easing off a bit) and slightly heavier for Wlad.
If mentally that makes him feel good , then fine. But I can’t help thinking he should come in at a weight to suit him rather than the opponent, and I reckon his weight for Parker was perfect for him regardless of opponent.
It’s not a massive deal, and I might be overthinking it, but I do worry for him a touch.
