Anthony Joshua promises to bring back aggressive style against Alexander Povetkin

Knew this guy was dangerous

Povetkin up 2 rounds to 0

AJ is having an identity crisis ffs.

Povetkin is most definitely not scared of Joshua

Same here. This looks like a 12 round fight or AJ quits or gets stopped. I think Povetkin may win this.

Close round with Povetkin landing the more powerful punches in the 3rd round.

2-1 Povetkin

Thinking 2 1 povetkin but close, AJ should double up his jab and up the output on em that would make life much easier for him

Joshua fighting like he has no idea what to do. Looks unsure

AJ looks lethargic. I have the fight 2-1 Povetkin at the end of 3. AJ won the 3rd by a hair.

Povetkin 3-0. But I'm sure the judges have Joshua up 3-0

How did you give Povetkin the 3rd? Joshua clearly settled and boxed at the middle straight to the end.

AJ cuts Povetkin eye in the 4th round and wins the round with his jab.

Povetkin is dangerous with the short hooks.

2-2

AJ needs to use that uppercut

Povetkin not as effective this round. Joshua takes it. 3-1 Povetkin

"We think thats where the cut happened " show punch landed and no blood after, pretty sure it was a headbutt

RD 1- AP
RD 2- AP
RD 3- AJ
RD 4- AJ

Even going into five!

I was about to say the same. I wonder what their game plan is. I'm assuming it would be the jab.

AJ finding his range and Povetkin still landing bombs in the 5th.

Give it to AJ 3-2

Joshua is starting to time Povetkin jump ins. He's adjusted. Povetkin needs to adjust himself. He's losing this round

I thought 5th was a easy povetkin round didn't see AJ do jack shit

RD 1- AP
RD 2- AP
RD 3- AJ
RD 4- AJ
RD 5- AJ

AJ up by a round. AJ getting into a rhythm.

AJ boxing well in the 6th using his feet to win the round.

Povetkin still dangerous with the hooks.

4-2 AJ very interesting fight

Decent 6th round, AJ on cleaner more consistent work, Povetkin still throwing heat though, 3 3 even after 6 for me

RD 1- AP
RD 2- AP
RD 3- AJ
RD 4- AJ
RD 5- AJ
RD 6- AJ

AJ just settled in. Could be a repeat of the Povetkin/Wlad fight in the second half.

3 sounds a piece. Povetkin has let Joshua get comfortable. He needs to do something. And quickly before this fight gets completely away from him

AJ stops Povetkin in the 7th with some vicious bombs. Povetkin was getting beat up slowly and AJ finished it brilliantly.

He needed that.

Was just about to say I’d like to see AJ throw a bit more leather. Hammer dropped.

Povetkin is one brave muthfukka.

WOWOWOWOOWOWOOWOWOOW..... KOOOOOOOOO..... WOWOOWOWOWOOWOWOOWOWOWOOWW.....

I did NOT see that coming. AJ is the real deal. My, God... THIS WAS A CROWNING, SPECTACULAR WIN FOR AJ!!!

I had it 3 each after 6.

Povetkin never saw that short hook coming, Props on AJ but hell starting to think may have all been a different story if he had came around 5 years earlier. AJ's got a lot of heart and drive though and hell maybe he will keep taking out everyone

AJ looked shit until the end

Yes he put up a better fight than I thought he would.

Great finish.

Povetkin chance was always going to be early on. Once it went pass 3, Povetkin chances declined. Joshua started timing him and got comfortable. Once the jab got going it was over. Good win for Joshua

If Wilder gets past Fury...if..he is royally f***d

It is a good win for AJ. Had to deal with some difficulty early but come on nicely.
