Warning to Joshua

[smashup]

This is sound advice and pretty much how I see it 😉
I think if AJ stops Johnson we can safely say he's the real deal in terms of punching power but for me his chin will remain untested against a big puncher.

Yes Johnson is just a steady durable pro , however if Joshua KO's him it will be impressive.
However like Fury we haven't seen him get hit by a big puncher at top level yet.

The guy he banged out on Saturday has gone 12 rounds with Briggs, 10 rounds with 21-0 (19 ko's) Charles Martin and 8 rounds with Molina - who is fighting Wilder next - in the past year.

I watched a vid on IFL where old Kingpin was kicking off with the crowd in Birmingham. Certainly can talk a good game

I don't think they'll be much wrong with Joshua's beard. We've seen him go over in the ams and get up blazing back

There's a difference between being chinny and terrified of being hit. Joshua has a confident spiteful streak in him, something that guys like Price are lacking

I dont think its even so much the punch resistance of Joshua but can he actually fight back over the distance in the pros. Hes getting bulkier muscle wise and thats all going to burn energy.

Anthony Joshua looks like the real deal, but he's got to feel more comfortable in the ring, he's so tense in the shoulders and upper body. Stamina will be a bigger issue for him than chin IMO. He just needs to loosen up, relax a bit...not to the point where he's not focused, but just to the point where he can roll with a punch. The stiffer the boxer the more energy they burn....also being stiff doesn't make hitting the target easier at all. When you're stiff your opponent can time you better, they can see your punches coming better. Kevin Johnson is a heck of a boxer, very crafty...not active enough to really scare me for Joshua but he can hit and not get hit good enough that it'll give Joshua a ton of troubles if he just goes gunning for a KO. Kevin Johnson is a fighter you have to incrementally break down and nobody has done that yet.

Best of luck to AJ, I actually don't mind him too much for a British fighter. Hopefully he stays humble and affable.

For all the bulk and muscle he threw this punch totally relaxed and fuck me it was a thumping right hand

Yes because hes not a fat mess hell struggle to go the distance. Nice logic as always Ross.

Look at his weights. The facts.

Hes progressively getting heavier muscled, hes put 12lb on over the last 7 months because his trainer is obviously making him or allowing him to continue to body build. Hes not that young that his body is still developing, hes purposefully putting muscle on for some reason and this will contribute to him tiring over the distance as well as the poor opposition not preparing him or putting him under pressure.

Hes going the same way Haye did going in the Carl Thompson fight.
