I will be watching live on Show. I'm surprised Joshua is a big favorite, but he's definitely a special blend of size, speed and technique. He isn't a 1 punch KO guy though.Haven't seen Joshua fight but he's a decent sized favorite which is surprising to me, already have the DVR fired up
I do worry a bit that Joshua has never encountered anyone close to VK. VK can use that length and jab to totally baffle fighters. VK could suck the life out of the crowd, make it a jab fest and win the cards by making it a slow methodical distance fight. Joshua isn't like Fury in that he won't grapple, butt, elbow and play dirty. Also, Joshua has never been tested by a guy with the kind of power VK brings to the table. I don't think Joshua has great one punch power, but VK does have some chin concerns. It's a fascinating fight all around.
He spent the entire 2nd half of round 5 out on his feet and round 6 he looked like a zombie.
It was the punch that led to the end for Wlad in any event.
If you didn't enjoy that fight, you might as well just stop watching heavyweight boxing altogether.
I'm very unhappy to say I have. I only watched this one after reading the comments this afternoon. It was like watching two buses in a demolition derby.
You want to see a boxing match at the highest levels between two boxers with great technical skill and impressive power, seek out the Kell Brook vs Errol Spence match at the end of May. Not heavyweights so no problem for you there.
It is interesting to me because I thought Vlad didn't know where he was when he got up and that the fight should have been stopped, but when the ref actually did step in, I thought he was dodging and defending and recovered and should have continued.
i thought other than 3 rds the fight was very ordinary
I'm probably going to be betting Canelo decision depending on the price. Canelo's in against the bigger opponent for once, he's a fairly cautious fighter, and Chavez's chin is pretty good.
I'm hesitantly picking Canelo UD. My hesitation is not with Canelo but whether it goes the distance. But Chavez is naturally bigger, taller with longer reach. Plus he has shown he can take a punch. And while much has been made of him quitting before but realize there are more than one way to quit. Duran gave up vs Leonard in their 3rd fight halfway through but it still went the distance. Chavez may at some point become content to go the distance.
Less pulling for Chavez and more that i think it would be interesting to see him finally get to where people have thought he could get to. Also a bit of a humbling for Canelo.
Yea thats my problem with this fight. I was pissed when they made it..... but now im intrigued. damn them.
i need to get that one because sportsdevil had nothing for me.... sigh.
