The ring walks and intros will be longer than the fight.
Joshua dominates round one, but Gavern is still there.
Gavern somehow, off the floor, got through round two. Wooo
Joshua needs an opponent. They have to let off a bit on the leash.
Joshua in three...
To clarify...
..this fight wasnt on to showcase AJ, his next fight was supposed to be Kev Johnson.
AJ got injured and had to be out for 5 months. He has only had 10 fights so 5 months off before he fights a world contender is dangerous.
This fight was to shake off rust, hence why it was on a month before his big fight.
For some reason I thought Johnson pulled out. A vapour lock
Stevenson was good and Beterbiev was also good. Stevenson-kovalev is going to be a great fight, but Kovalev wins it IMO.
You could say the same thing about Stevenson. That Bika fight was not hard fought really. Adonis gassed out a little and even those loopers caught him near the end. Bika could not throw a straight right hand to save his life. Kov has an incredible right hand and he feints well when he uses it on odd angles. Stevenson relies way to much on his straight left. I dont think Stevenson makes it 12 and I dont think he wants anything to do with Kov. Not even a peep after the fight.....again. Haymon knows where his supper hangs and they are not going there. They are going to hope that Kovalev runs into mandatory problems because he has 3 to contend with. Thats already happening with the Ibf. I dont think full unification will happen w/o the Wbc first demanding it which is what they said they were going to do.
Wow Dickinson got clubbed.
I'm thinking Stevenson is the 3rd best Light heavy based out of Montreal these days. I would pick Beterbiev over him EASILY if the fight happened next, Pascal would have my pick to upset him as well. As long as the guy doesn't seem to want Kovalev, I say strip him and let the real superfight in the division gain momentum. Kovalev-Beterbiev will be a clash of cyborgs by the looks of. Christ those two are scary.
