How Many Rounds?

[Batley18]

So with Joshua fighting another bum in his tuneup fight for Kingpin, how long will this one last?

I had never heard of Love prior to this matchup, but having watched a couple of videos and looked at his record, I think it may be over pretty soon. 5/2 with Ladbrokes for a first round win may be worth some money.

[Boxerbeetle]

I'd be amazed if it went past 2, would probably put my money on the 1st though.

[whiskey]

Depends on the ref.

He looked tough enough against Briggs, took some bombs.

[Rexob]

I'm going for the upset.

[Datsue]

Two at most.

When he ships a solid one he gambols about the ring on wobbly legs, which to a UK ref screams "JUMP IN NOW"; Briggs was just too slow & ahem, asthmatic to finish him off & he managed to scamper away. Even if he manages that here, the ref will stop it.

He lacks physical strength & Joshua will maul him & throw him around like a rag doll.

PS: Also, I only clicked on this thread 'cos I saw the name "Love" & thought "Fvck me, Mayweather's little friend must've been hitting the steroids/burgers really hard..."

How disappointed I was etc etc.

[handsofstone]

This fight has draw written all over it

[MrJasonM]

I agree.

I cant see Joshua winning this one, I just dont think he will have enough power to get him out.

Love on points for me, if AJ makes the final bell that is.

how did he get on last night?

Clearly some people don't have a clue. No point arguing they just don't.

Mr Jason M and handsofstone now fk all about boxing. i ain't deliberately being rude but anyone with half a brain knew what would happen in this fight.

I can't wait for someone to try and convince me otherwise.

The reason I get on my high horse - Hearn and his mates are taking the piss out of the "boxing" public. I don't like it, one bit.

Joshua is a fraud or he's the real deal. Stop fking about and put him into the big league. Let's see how good he is.

He's doing fine imo. how many people were complaining about Bruno and his opponents? He fought many more before stepping up. joshua fought a decent pro there, fair enough he was over the hill but had put in some rounds with Briggs. I think hes moving just fine, there is no one in the UK that has any chance with him. He would destroy Fury and Price. But those fights are not going to happen

Put him in with them then. Words are cheap, anyone can say anything, it means fk all. If Joshua is that good, force one of those fights. If he beats one of them, then fine, I'll be glad as anyone. until then it's all ................... what ........................ TALK!

Didn't have social networking bcd then like we do today; had it been around many armchair referees would have had something to say. AJ is still a newbie in the Pro ranks; his next fight will be a litmus test; it showed David Price vulnerabilities didn't it......

[Mimmy]

Joshua is a breath of fresh air in the sport and the best prospect since Lennox lewis. We should be excited about him rather than knocking him all the time. People want him to fight for a world title in his first 5 fights. Hes answering all the questions in each fight. Fury and Price are shit scared of him. funny how none of the 2 are shouting him out on social media. They are staying well away. Price would fall in 1 round, Fury inside 4. Im on the Joshua bandwagon and very excited that we could have a proper world champion in a year or 2. Not saying hes the next lennox lewis but hes better than the crock of chit thats spouting off at the moment.

Rubbish, absolute rubbish. You expect joshua to beat Fury inside 4 rounds. come on to Betfair my friend and bet me hundreds.

[Coco]

Love is a bit of a stayer, getting him out quickly was a job well done. It will be a step up against Johnson but another impressive win will get people to sit up.
He is definitely looking Brunoesque with his punch power and finishing skills, time will tell over his stamina and chin.

How exactly do you see those fights happening?
Fury is fighting Vlad next and Price already said he has no interest in fighting AJ yet.
Not to mention that AJ has a fight scheduled for the end of the month.
Last night was just a showcase to flog a few extra tickets, Eddie didn't even try to hide that fact.

I don't see those fights happening I was just replying to a previous post.

Price fighting joshua would be an end of the line fight for Price, he knows that himself. He wont fight joshua, hes not ready!! effing hell how long does Price want before hes ready to box someone with a heart beat?

Fury is wanting a title shot, granted thats not a issue, anyone would side step live opponents to get title shots, it also makes the title worth more if Fury ever wanted to face Joshua. All Josh can do is carry on at his pace and wait. When fury decides he wants a decent pay day and a quick night he will face joshua, but it wont last long. Fury hasnt got any class or skill, sure hes got a punch but he will have to rely on that in hope he can land a biggy.

I agree re Price but Fury is a much better boxer than joshua. People are getting carried away with Joshua knocking over cans. Fury outboxes joshua.

I get what you are saying Ian, and im not bigging up josh but he has more talent that Fury and I think he can beat him. Fury has been hit on the chin and been down. Of course no one knows what Joshuas chin is like yet he may well have a glass jaw and fall when its tested by a puncher. But I genuinely believe Joshua is the best in England at this time

Ok mate, fair play.

Time will tell. I just hope AJ is going to be the 'real deal' he is an exciting prospect for the British heavyweight division. I would love to see him fight Fury or Price and would deffo buy a ticket for the fight for either of those 2 matches if they came off.

Disagree completely with the last couple of sentences. I think Fury has plenty of skill, it's the power i'm not sold on.

AJ on the other hand looks like a top level banger. Time will tell I guess.

after AJ dispatches Johnstone within 6 rounds , Chisora would be an ideal yardstick for his development , he will be world champ within 2 years no doubt in my mind !

I think Chisora is past his best now, but good match up. I would like to see him fight a good Pole who seems to have a bang. Artur Szpilka. Or a decent american Malik Scott or someone who is dangerous such as Jennings?
