It's a far bigger mismatch than Povetkin vs Price could ever be. Povetkin is far too small, flabby and short compared to the much more muscular, stronger and more powerful Anthony Joshua. It's one of the biggest mismatches, if not the biggest mismatch that can be made in boxing today.

The much smaller and less muscular Povetkin won't be able to survive the much bigger, more muscular and much more powerful Anthony Joshua's punches. Povetkin may very well put his life at risk of becoming permanently damaged here. A mismatched fight like this should really be condemned and banned in my humble opinion!

What do you seriously expect to see happening in this fight, other than seeing one of, if not the most brutal, disgusting, gruesome and damaging knockout in boxing history delivered by Joshua to Povetkin?

I expect AJ to win but be pushed further than Wlad did. Pedvetkin is an experienced and skilled fighter with enough punch to hurt AJ. If AJ can work his jab properly, he can pick his spot to attack without exposing himself so much; if he can't, then it's wide open.

Let's hope you're correct! Since I don't at all see this fight lasting more than 3 or 5 rounds max. And I see a more brutal and a more damaging KO inflicted by Joshua to Povetkin, than what Povetkin inflicted to any of his past opponents, including David Price. I expect Povetkin to be leaving in a stretcher whilst unconscious for more than 5 minutes with broken bones, limbs, teeth and etc. And I expect permanent life damage for Povetkin after the fight. He might even end up getting Alzheimer disease or Parkinson disease after fighting Joshua. Let's just hope that whatever happens, it doesn't end up too badly for the little Russian!

I genuinely believe that's how much of a mismatch this fight is! If I'm wrong though, then I'll eat my crow and own up to my mistake.

Knockouts don't result in guys leaving on stretchers all that often.

Luis, I disagree but your final sentence give me great respect for you! (I'll hold you to it. How do you like your crow? Broiled? Fried? lol)

No problem friend! Hahahaha. I'd have to think about that one. I'm always open to being corrected. The more mistakes I make, the longer the crow has to be.

I have a feeling that in this fight, Povetkin will be getting carried off on a stretcher. Not just due to a knockout, but the significant physical damage that'll be inflicted on him by Anthony Joshua. Long term damage!

Ok...Won't happen that way, but he may well wind up KO'd.

Povetkin is not so defensively inept that he'll take a horrendous beating continuously, but he would inevitably take some heavy shots, I just don't see the kinda damage you're calling for happening. We'll see though.
