Is it raining ?

Think it might be just a little. Apparently the ring was a bit slippery earlier on.

Would that help Joshua or his opponent or make no difference?

IIRC there was a canopy over the ring for the Klitschko fight. Assuming they've made the same provisions for this one.

 

[zimrahil]

Have they entered ring yet ?

 

[El Loco]

AJ just entering now.

 

[zimrahil]

Bet atmosphere is awesome?

Presumably going for AJ win, in what round ?

 

[El Loco]

Yup Sweet Caroline and Seven Nation Army always send a shiver down the spine.
Hmmm...think I'll go with round 7-8 stoppage.

Ok just to be different I predict he will get knocked out in round 10

Povetkin just gave a glimpse at the end of the first round of how much of handful he can be on the inside. AJ needs to keep his distance with the jab.

 

[zimrahil]

AJ has good boxing brain doesn’t he, be interesting to see if he does what you suggest ?

 

[El Loco]

He's starting to establish range now, as Povetkin tires out and applies less pressure he can keep him on the outside and go to work.

Yeah makes sense, should control fight now, I guess Povetkins best chance is to land a big one ?

Well to me right now it looks like Povetkin is actually quicker into the pocket than AJ is, which further highlights how sluggish he is off his feet. This is really shaping up to be an interesting contest.
As I write this AJ knocks him down in the 7th.
It's over my prediction was right.

Being more than 10 years the junior I expected no less from him tbh. Now that this is out of the way, any fight other than against either Wilder, Fury or Luis Ortiz from here on in would be a distraction IMO.
