Anthony Joshua vs. Kubrat Pulev - December 12, 2020

[Enlightened-One]

Good start to this round from Pulev.

[Enlightened-One]

Apart from a decent right hand from AJ, Pulev won the fifth.

Joshua still seems gun-shy. He’s on the back foot.

[lazboy]

Just waiting on the next AJ explosion.

[TempleSlave]

Kinda hate to say this but AJ is looking great tonight.

[asmund]

Joshua is like Bruno. A stiff muscle bound robot.

[Enlightened-One]

Pulev appears to be growing in confidence.

Joshua still lacking aggression. Grabbing a bit too much for my liking.

Tough round to score.

[lazboy]

Rd 6 a close but clear Pulev rd.

[Finkel]

Pulev appears to be growing in confidence.

Joshua still lacking aggression. Grabbing a bit too much for my liking.

Tough round to score.

I've given Pulev rounds 4 to 6
I doubt the score card will mind you

[Enlightened-One]

Joshua boxed well in that round, but he’s reluctant to engage.

Joshua wins the round, but he’s no longer the aggressive fighter he was prior to the AJ loss.

[lazboy]

Rd7 clear AJ

[Thomastearns]

Joshua's fitness levels are unimpressive.

As the younger man he should be dancing rings around the rather predictable 39 year old.

[pound per pound]

It's a good thing Pulev is 39 years old. Joshua is winning but hardly impressing.

[Enlightened-One]

Pulev landed some great punches around the 1 minute mark.

Joshua grabbing again.

But AJ’s jabs may have stolen the round.

Is the Brit feeling the pace, even though he’s winning?

[lazboy]

Rd 8 Pulev lands one perfect right hand but that’s it, Joshua out works him. Pulev coming forward constantly but it means nothing. He’s being outworked. Give ah the round. Lot can happen in the championship rounds.

[Enlightened-One]

The more I see of the new version of AJ, the man we’ve seen from his last two outings, the more convinced I am of him losing to Fury.

[victor-romeo]

covid layoffs affecting fighters they need get through first fight back and then back into the mix

[pound per pound]

Joshua is playing it safe with his jab. Pulev is too old to press him.

What happen to Joshua's power?

[victor-romeo]

there it went..

[oogiebe]

Pretty explosive ending. Exactly what AJ needed here. Nice!

[victor-romeo]

pulev 39 did good for his age..

[bobcatbox]

AJ fought a great fight. He really did.

[Finkel]

Good finish

[lazboy]

It’s over KO. Thought it was a very competent performance by AJ who stayed cool, calm and in control the whole time.

What happen to Joshua's power?

pulev sure felt it

[Enlightened-One]

AJ’s finish tonight was great, perhaps even fantastic, but his overall performance has been subpar.

He loses to Fury.
