Joshua is a ~~great~~ brilliant prospect,
Smart,
quick,
physique of a...., i don't know, just physique
can punch
if he can take a punch, he could go all the way IMO.

I have high hopes for the lad aswell.

Really want to see him make that step up and go from there

Watched a programme on him a few months back and was impressed with how he came across as a person too, started off messing about like most do in his youth but he has decided to take a different path to the life he could and would have gone down had he not got into boxing

Top prospect

Mean physique whether he makes the grade is another thing, the klitchsko vote of confidence made me sit up and take note.

Believe Pac will win the fight tomorrow but wont get the decision. The Americans will make sure their Top boy doesnt lose.

True but it doesn't just happen in the states.

Regarding Joshua, not being funny but so far he's been fighting cardboard cutouts. Needs stepping up now before he gets in to bad habits. Sky over-hyping him all the time but that's Sky / Matchroom for you.

Klitscho v Fury Fight off

ouch, sorry to hear that mate, will you still travel out? Dusseldorf is a good place to visit !

gerry m · « **Reply #107 on:** September 25, 2015, 04:15:42 PM »

Yeah probably mate. Had booked the Friday and Monday off as holiday, so might as well make the most of it.

Disappointing

kris_boing · « **Reply #109 on:** September 25, 2015, 07:01:22 PM »

It's hardly going to be a classic. Nailed on certainty it'll be a wlad points win and bore fest.

Kell Brook has pulled out of the bill

. Was due to fight Diego Chaves. Wonder how many fights are left on the card.

Anyone watching the fight tonight?. I think Klitscho will win by late stoppage.

Yes im a massive boxing fan.

I reckon klitschko early doors

kris_boing · « **Reply #113 on:** November 28, 2015, 08:31:01 PM »

Klitschko comfortable points win IMO. Going to be a borefest but I'll watch it.

Looking forward to seeing how Degale does against Bute. Be a tough fight but I think Degale on points.

sammyg · « **Reply #114 on:** November 28, 2015, 08:44:01 PM »

klitch on points

Jimmy · « **Reply #115 on:** November 28, 2015, 09:15:44 PM »

Come on lads, BELIEVE in the furious one.

Legend · « **Reply #116 on:** November 28, 2015, 09:47:26 PM »

I fancy Fury to win by knock out.

He might knock himself out!!

I have Fury winning on points atm

Foster#1 · « **Reply #119 on:** November 28, 2015, 10:48:11 PM »

Deffo have Fury now on points

kris_boing · « **Reply #120 on:** November 28, 2015, 11:19:05 PM »

Fair play to Fury. I think he is a terrible boxer though. He is clumsy but effective. That was an awful fight to watch. Klitsch was shocking. His time has passed.

Chuffed that Britain has a unified world heavyweight world champion though.

Legend · « **Reply #121 on:** November 28, 2015, 11:25:45 PM »

Get in Fury!

Singing Aerosmith after the fight.

royhan · « **Reply #122 on:** November 28, 2015, 11:27:03 PM »

Got to agree with kris-boing. It was an awful fight to watch, but it's great we've got a World Heavyweight Champion. Give him another year and Anthony Joshua will eat Fury for breakfast.

He is a fantastic boxer technically. He has always looked awkward and ungainly but his boxing last three or four fights has been outstanding. Did you see him against Christian Hammer and Dereck Chisora? He can switch hit, southpaw or orthodox, he can move, he's athletic, he can jab. Very, very under-rated.

Joshua is a great prospect but that's all he is upto now he hasn't fought anyone that can hit back yet. The hype train goes on like it did with David Price.

I don't understand how you can say he is technically excellent. How many clean crisp shots does he land? His head did the best work tonight, accidently of course. This is the guy who actually punched himself in the ring.

Hes clumsy, awkward, unorthodox and he does switch but looks as bad at both.

But he is an opponent that makes others look poor which he did to Klitschko tonight. He got his game plan spot on and deserved the win and the belts. I just think he's horrible to watch.
