Anthony Joshua looked impressive again, next up Denis Bakhtov - WBC int title..!

[smashup]

He impressed me last night, good finish and was impressed with his speed too!

I liked seeing that bit of spite as he dished out an uppercut while Airich was on the floor - bit naughty but i like that

So Next up is the Russian Denis Bakhtov - 47 Fights - 38 wins (25 ko's) - 9 losses - 264 rounds.

This is for the WBC International title at London's 02 Arena 11/10/14

Good too see him fighting again inside a month.

I hope he continues to spar with Wlad too, gotta be so good for him as Wlad is supposed to be so dedicated when he trains.

Joshua's goal is to fight for the British title in Summer 2015 at Watford Football Stadium (his home team) just North of London.

Just wanna see his chin tested now

Anyone who doesn't like Joshua is an idiot , he is in great shape and hits hard , who knows if he is the real deal , however he is athletic and exciting so let's enjoy his fights. If he crashes and burns who cares at least he isn't a fat bastard like most HWs.

He Certainly looks the real deal so far .... liked his patience last night too and he hardly seemed out of breath at all so he is in seriously good shape as an athlete.

We know he's been dropped before though so his chin is always gonna be a doubt until he faces someone who bangs him back hard.

I wanna go all in and claim he's the next Champ already as i rate him highly already, natural athlete, great jab, speed and serious power (Plus he's a local boy to me) but one punch can change everything in the Heavies.

Should be a better test in October though and Eddie Barry Hearn is def bringing him along a bit better now.

[Dark Lord Al]

What about him do people not like ? He is a clean living athlete , he will be exciting win or lose , so let's enjoy the career as it unfolds.

There are a few rumours that this Bakhtov might have swerved the Oct date so if true let's hope another slight step up in opposition can be found.

He won't be very exciting if he loses anytime soon and goes the same way as David Price though will he
