And Veritas, once again your posts are on point.
Diehard always says what he thinks and that is a bonus..
Please guys, don't bet big money on Joe. Yes, a quiet $20 here and there with the odds, but I'm thinking that this fight is gonna go very differently. I have Joe KO'ing him in the 2nd or 3rd, after realising he (Joe) lived through the first round with the crowd and all, or else he'll get owned after the third. Joe needs to go after him early, nail him, or AJ will get in his pocket and dominate.
If joe dominates but can't KO AJ ( judges won't go against AJ) a $20 on a draw is a great return - they keep their belts and have a rematch and double their $$
Those odds are too good to not put a bit on Jo lol. I see it at 60/40 to Joshua. I still think Jo's defense is better than people give him credit but it lapses at times and he gets caught. His Footwork and angles seem to be faster and more agile than AJ too. I'm just worried about AJ' s power and his awesome counter punches with his combos, will they wear Jo down? AJ is super crafty and has very fast counters. Its going to be interesting because Anthony has never fought any one as fast as Jo and Jo probably has the same chin as Takam. Its gonna be a cracker! Who will establish themselves first? Who's got the best game plan? .... Even if AJ comes in light, I still see him struggling with body shots? I see Jo struggling with AJ' s counter, especially his short right cross counter and of course AJ's big powerful combinations. Hope Jo learnt something from Hughie Fury lol
It will be interesting to see how Jo absorbs the power of Joshua and how he comes off that especially when he's caught flush. Tough chin or whatever, the brain can take so much until the thinking is impaired. Chasing Hughie Fury will have done nothing for Jo other than a stalking drill.
Sham I just hope Jo learnt how to run away like Hughie lol
I'm pretty confident both JP and KB know the enormity of the task ahead. Wilder and Joshua both possess elite power that can hurt any man even if they don't connect flush (Foreman like).
I'm sure relying on a granite jaw is not being looked at as a defence plan...
There can be no excuses by both fighters - plenty of time to prepare mentally and physically - plenty of information on eachother- nothing should shock them... man I'm looking forward to it. Whoever wins I hope its a war (please not a Charles Martin) and both come out reputations enhanced whoevers arm is raised
