Concerns about Anthony Joshua’s weight?

[vidal]

Concerns me that he's bulking up. There was no evidence to suggest any benefit from it in that fight, he's punching no harder.

His articulation seemed to be limited to me due to the muscle mass around his shoulder joints. Frank Bruno had a similar problem. It reduces the range of punches and it made him very 2D in my opinion.

I'd like to seem him a stone lighter and more mobile for his next outing..... get some zip back in to those punches.

Anthony Joshua and his trainer, Robert McCracken, stated that they needed to be lighter for their next outing, because they both felt that AJ was far too heavy against Klitschko. They were looking to lose anything between 10lbs to 14lbs.

A week prior to Joshua’s bout against Takam, Eddie Hearn stated that AJ would likely be somewhere between 10lbs to a stone lighter than he was when he KO’d Klitschko.

So Team Joshua’s expectation was that he’d weigh around the 236lbs mark for last Saturday’s contest, but he weighed 254lbs instead.

I don’t know about you, but none of my túrds have weighed roughly 18lbs!

That's because i said 4lb. It's entirely possible that after 20 minutes on the john AJ could lose 4lb.

You are probably a 130lb tùrd.

My point has been made. I'm glad you conceded the error of your ways.

By all means, crack on. The next time a heavyweight boxer who has no weigh-in limit comes in 4lb heavier than his previous bout, you should write another 1000 word essay on the matter. When you die and they eulogize your life, i'm sure your contribution to the boxrec discussion forum community will not be forgotten, fergus.
