Bloody nose aside the early part of the fight probably went exactly as they’d expected. Why people are surprised that it was close after 5 rounds I don’t know. A lot of donuts out there.

The finish was great. Some heavy artillery went into that. When it was time AJ didn’t flinch.
That's exactly what I watched too (i'll be a little more complimentary though).

The consistent jab to the body was superb and key in turning the fight around. It not only gave him confidence of the range and slowed Povetkin down but he was able to whip in the odd disguised left hook which eventually led to the right hand Povetkin had done a great job in stopping.
