The official judges all had him up. I think it was 59-55 and 58-56 2x for AJ on the official cards. I saw somebody mention it in the U.K. Forum. I forget the exact scores, but I know it was unanimous for Joshua at the time of the KO.
That’s an atrocity. But no surprise. Everyone knows Povetkin needed a KO to get a draw.
Unbelievable ! Joshua is a great champion, and he doess not need this kind of help. Maybe, I am an old fool , but yesterday, I have been listening Željko Mavrović's comments, he had not any dilemma - before the TKO, Povetkin has been a better one. This kind of judges will kill boxing, definitely.
Should Wilder (or Fury, too) accept to face Joshua in UK ?
Mavrovic! I was wondering about him. Where were you listening to him? It was another case of big size differences in the heavyweight division and the need for a super heavyweight and other heavy weight classes. His only loss came in his final fight to Lennox Lewis and I thought he could have beaten Lewis except he was outweighed by almost 30 pounds. He had a website once and I think it was about his involvement in farming but I think that website is long gone.
Yea, I and pretty much everybody was expecting that the boxing judges tonight we're going to render the usual phony boxing judge decision. I had Pov ahead but I figured the judgettes had the expected shutout for the house fighter. At least the referee was fair, in fact he was very good and kept himself totally out of the limelight which is what good referees do. Had the fight been in Las Vegas or New York not only the judges would have been fixed but the referee would have been messing around with the fighters jumping between them, the usual crap you see.
I was wondering if Joshua ever gets a real drug test, that is not a home town Doc Margaret-style drug test. We know that Povetkin has been tested upside down and inside out. At least one boxer, Whyte, said that he knows that Joshua uses drugs and indeed his body development over the years indicates that he might. On the other hand Joshua doesnt display the "roid rage" that so many of them now do.
i call bullshit on that! a technically right executed punch by a grown man, if it lands flush, right on the sweet spot & you don't see it coming (or too late) knocks DOWN any man. The "BIGGER" the harder they fall! . Povetkin is capable of hurting joshua plenty, the only question is, if he can close the distance and let go of his combinations or if joshua let's him die on the long end of his jab and plays huggybear everytime pov gets on the inside. agreed, worst case would be a repetition of the vlad-povetkin scenario, where klitschko should have been warned and subsequenly disqualified and i´m afraid the chances are not too bad that that`s what`s gonna happen. hope joshua comes to box, the ref will do his job, then we will see a good fight.
