Campbell-Coyle/Whyte-Costa Jr/Rose-Jones rematch and Burns - Sat/SKY

[Tam Seddon]

Looks like Whyte might be fighting Teper in September! Thats a good fight!

Where did you hear that? I thought hes fighting Joshua at the end of the year, fighting Teper before that showdown is a risk but I wouldn't count of Whyte beating Teper in a good fight.

I got it completely ass about face.

I was on Whytes twitter and all it was was Whyte retweeting someone suggesting to Hearn about this potential matchup in September

Fair enough, Ive got Whyte on facebook so I do keep an eye on what hes up to. Didn't hear anything about Teper. That Teper is a big puncher but he does look out of shape.

Youd think hed have a better ko percentage but from 17 fights its only 10 KO's.

I watched one of his recent fights and anyone whos not going to just stand and get hit is going to give him trouble. I think hed do well against Browne, Joshua would be a risk for ahearn because he hasnt even been tested yet. No one knows what hes like when having to fight someone off. We know he can go down feom a shot but without that pro experience its a risk against any punchers. As daft as it will sound to some, even Cornish is a risk.

[Slick45]

Not the best Sky card but still some decent matchups. Campbell vs Coyle should be entertaining

[Beanz]

Had Ward died his hair? Pretty messy but Ward has landed a couple big ones already.

[bzkfn]

Not a Ward fan. I don't see anything special in what he does.

[Beanz]

So has anyone seen Whytes opponent before?

[Fenster]

I've seen him against Price and getting put to sleep against Parker.

Whyte could do with Ironing him

[bzkfn]

I like that Whyte has employed Jonathan Banks (Klitschko's trainer) as his new trainer. Just shows he has ambition and is willing to learn new things. Him n AJ should be a really good fight.

[smashup]

Did not look a concussive couple of punches but those temple shots are deceptive especially in the Heavyweight division.
I just see AJ banging him out quick when they meet, he's slow and seems easy to hit Whyte

The reason you don't know what Joshua is like fighting someone off is because so far he has annihilated all the former world/British/European champion/challengers that were meant to take him rounds.

The fact that guys like Kevin Johnson can so comfortably take a world rated, experienced professional like Tyson Fury 12 rounds - on two weeks notice, without breaking sweat - yet can't last 6 minutes with Joshua - with a full training camp - would suggest, to the non-deluded, the outstanding talent/potential AJ has.

We've seen the young amateur Joshua go down and then get straight back up again. There's more chance of this mature pro version of Joshua getting himself disqualified (vicious sod doesn't stop punching when bods are on the floor) than his "chin" holding him back.

Nice to see you'll give him some credit if he beats the "risky" Cornish.

Indeed.

[Fenster]

Jones chinned Rose in the 1st round last time, granted he was losing the round at the time and maybe it was a bit premature. I still can't work out why Jones can't beat him again though

He's half the price he was last time for the stoppage but still

Only just noticed this post.

Johnson had no desire left. There is 2 and a half years and 3 losses difference between the Johnson Tyson faced and what Joshua faced. The Louis that beat Walcott was a world of difference away from the one that faced Marciano. The Holmes Tyson faced was apparently washed up compared to the version Spinks faced. Plenty of examples of rapid decline in fighters in less periods of time.

Yes as much as Cornish isnt really rated he is a risk in that it is the first live ambitious opponent he has faced and a better opponent for it than Joshuas previous. I have to admit I dont know much about Cornish but hes unbeaten and wanted this bout. Maybe hes just getting paid well because he didnt want to fight Whyte for the british?

Also, for a fighter to progress they need opponents with ambition. You can as feed many ex title challengers as you want but if their challenge was years and losses ago the relevance of any win isnt much. They are called journeymen and are really only record fillers as opposed to learning fights.

Its now getting interesting and hopefully we see someone push Joshua. Im not against him im just not sold on him yet as he hasnt had to prove anything yet but now come some live bodies.
