Anthony Joshua v Denis Bakhtov / Selby v Brunker

[superheavyrhun]

Must admit I'm looking forward to get to the end or the point where Selby actually wants to finish him. He seems to really have to wear his opponents all the way down before looking for the finish.

I think we were (or I was) fooled by the KO of Smith. Even with that stoppage, he's clearly not a big puncher, good skills, bit of a liberty the comms getting on his back because they were getting bored

I think he's done the groundwork, and I don't think Gradovich will dominate him, and I reckon Selby might be the next Welsh world champion. We don't have many, so optimism is taking over. May even update my sig to reflect this if I can be arsed!

Not bad for your ninth fight. Class work. Lewis Wtf?

[superheavyrhun]

Once again, that was brief from Joshua. There was one flurry from Bakhtov in the second where Joshua did look a bit messy when there were punches coming back at him, but I reckon he's got a fair few fights more until he actually gets some proper punches coming back at him.

Just brutal.
Bakhtov took some sickening punches.
Good stoppage I thought personally. Bakhtov was going to show a dangerous amount of toughness I think.

I thought it was a good stoppage too but IJ Lewis seemed like he changed his mind.

He does that a lot come to think of it.

I still think Hughie Fury is a better prospect. Joshua chins fighters out that have mixed in "world" class but Fury is getting the experience from not being able to put a dent in journeymen. You'll see...

[Beanz]

I don't want Joshua to fight Price just yet. Not good for either of them. I don't think many people get up if Price catches them and their is little to be gained if Joshua stops Price. People will say it's no proof of anything and their is a lot of risk with no title and little ranking gains to be had.

[Fenster]

I'm happy Joshua is a bit reckless with a vindictive streak. He could have easily kept the fight long, easily won safety-safety stylee, but he went on the inside and obviously enjoyed a bit of a punch-up. Great.

I don't want to see the next Wlad, I want to see the next Tyson/Lewis.

Price could chin anyone out early, but I would be surprised if he wasn't the one kipping - quick - whenever they fought.

Think about he A josh / Tyson comparison?

[smashup]

AJ is gonna get nailed sooner or later when he's in close and fighting on the inside and that's what he needs so he can learn from his mistakes, he was def wide open at times but again these are the times/fights that you wanna be making them.

Really impressed with his speed and power... he busted up his face in a matter of punches and he varies his attacks well using good combos and doesn't waste too many punches and get over excited.

We saw it in his last fight and more so on Saturday that he's got that nasty streak in him and enjoys hurting his opponent which I personally love about him.

Sprott for me is a waste of time and is banged out in the first round.

I'd love to see AJ hook up with Tyson and learn the art of in fighting by a former master at it and become more of a complete fighter

Joshua v Danny Williams, Sprott, Audley, Price, Chisora, Fury in that order in the next 3 years.

3 years!

That's 4 fights in 3 years for a guy who will have his 10th in a year soon

No chance he's gonna stay that inactive and have a fight every 9 months plus he is now officially World ranked.

He could Breeze through Audley and Price with first round wins as they both have no punch resistance.

Chisora and Fury are at least tests but tests I'd fully expect him to win.

If AJ can take care of Chisora in 1 or 2 rounds then we really do have a top top Heavyweight knocking on the door.

Would be nice to see Price land a few bombs on him as long as that one lasts too
