He got rocked by Price in his last fight (who isn't a great fighter or a big hitter) so I would think he will be in trouble as soon as Joshua hits him with a good shot. That said, Joshua fought very conservatively against Parker which I hope he doesn't choose to do again tonight. KO (or TKO) inside 8 rounds is my prediction.
I thought Povetkin did far better than I was expecting him to do but as I expected, one big hit from AJ and that is the fight over. As he was trying to get up from the first knockdown though he put his hand on the rope and his trainer pulled it off, almost causing him to fall through ropes. Never seen anything like that before, crazy.
Fury is likely to lose to Wilder I think so if that happens he won't be high on the list of priorities for AJ. If he does win, then Wilder will have a rematch clause so it would be a while before it is even possible.
All that being said, I think AJ would crush Fury. The guy scored an (imo) fortunate win by running from Wlad for 12 rounds, then he went on a seriously bad diet with alcohol and drugs for two years. Even in his peak he would be outclassed.

That is a bit harsh isn't it? He was in with the (widely regarded) top heavyweight right now and he was ahead on many peoples scorecard. AJ just has the power that can end a fight with one clean shot, which is what happened. Povetkin did well I think.
Kinda sad with the outcome, I was hoping Povetkin could make the upset, but I definitely knew the odds are in AJs favor.
I have to say that it was again another not very impressive performance of AJ. He basically lost every round on my scorecard. The KO punch was nice though.
Im really looking forward to see Tyson Fury vs Wilder and hoping that the winner of this will match up with Joshua afterwards.
I honestly think AJ has nothing on Fury as he is a masterclass boxer although he has no knockout power, but he can win on points easily - outclass him like he outclassed Klitschko.
Even though I favor Fury, I have to say that Wilder vs Fury will be VERY interesting match... there are only 3 possible outcomes of that fight - Fury on points, Wilder by KO or a less likely draw.
Lets see what happens!
