    Think AJ will get the KO.
    Povetkin to look dangerous for first round or two and then AN takes over

    Joshua should get the KO around 5 or 6 me thinks.

    I expect the ref pull the same nonsense when Parker fought Joshua and step in as soon as Povetkin tries to get to work on the inside and defend Joshua. This should be cannon fodder for him. God bless us Sky have been hyping up Povetkin like he's Ivan Drago.

    You seem quite anti AJ

    Why was the ref (in your opinion) on AJs side in the Parker fight? Could it not have been Parker’s side?

    Nope I just have my eyes open. Any time there was any bit of clench or any hint of inside fighting going to occur the ref stepped in right away and broke them up and forced a reset, which just isn't fair and obviously benefits Joshua who's able to use his size and reach to keep Parker at bay who is better in close. I can't see how in any way that would benefit Parker. We'll see tonight whether the same ****e happens.

    AJ is every bit as effective and dangerous in close as Parker.

    Keep Parker at bay? He did a good enough job himself at this..

    F*ck’s sake, I wanted to watch Price but she’s making me watch bloody Vikings before I throw on the boxing for the evening.
    He’ll be knocked out before I get the sky on.

    As someone who fought myself I’ll never, ever criticise boxers unfairly but come on like. The lad is either a boxer or he isn’t, he wants to be there or he doesn’t.

    Stop wasting our time with rubbish.

    Askin looks a step behind here, think he's gonna have a long night judging by the first two rounds.

    Any truth to the rumour that they call him "Sauce" because watching him fight would drive you to the drink?

    Same as the last fight, one missed punch then hold on for twenty seconds, separated by referee.
    Repeat
    Repeat
    Fall Asleep
    Wake Up
    Repeat

    It's an MMA fight at this stage. Why is the referee not doing more to stop the head clashes.
