Joshua vs. Wach? | Boxing News | Fightnews

Great test for Joshua. Real live opponent.

Fuck me if that doesn't go twelve I'll bet my house on him winning a belt within 6 months.

Assuming Joshua wins of course.

Fucking solid choice of opponent.

Jushua inside 6.

Perfect opponent. Not a great deal of offence from Wach. Joshuas punches should bounce off his head all night long.

Nice - this will tell us a lot about Joshua

Although I'd like to see him blow him away early to make a real statement would be good to see him get a few rounds and maybe tagged with a couple of decent shots to see how he copes

I predict Joshua in 5

Great matchup if it does happen, no height or reach advantage for AJ for once, Wach can take a punch too and does have KO power.
I think we will see AJ
Go up a gear and really put on a show and stop him around 3-4 rounds which will put him right in the mix and a serious title contender,
I'm as sure as I can be that AJ is the real deal and a future World Champion

Excellent test, suprised they have jumped on paper up a very high level.

This is simply shit or Bust time for AJ, where 2 things can happen

1 - he smashes Wach and marches on to a World title

2. - he's a black David Price

I do worry about AJs stamina if he's dragged into double figures round wise, carrying all that bulk around used to often make Bruno melt in the late rounds and he'd get caught.

Yup, this is a make or break fight for Joshua. Everyone keeps waiting for that fight where he gets really tested, but so far, none of the guys stepping through those ropes have ever looked like testing him. Johnson talked the talk, but once he got through the ropes he was more tiepin than kingpin.

I'd like to see it get quite tough and go into the second half of the fight before Joshua really ups the ante and knocks him out. There is the possibility of the David Price situation, but I don't think that's going to happen with Joshua.

Good match up. He's dangerous, but not overly dangerous and his size takes away some of Joshua's advantages.

Should be interesting.
