Theres a reason why fighters fight in bigger arenas and others don't. Canelo wouldn't have filled 80k tbh but he can 20k so that's what hes put in

AJ is the best heavyweight in the world and can fight anywhere. Thankfully hes staying here

Yeah, and that reason is Joshua fights in the UK and Canelo fights in America.

Unless of course you think Joshua is a bigger draw than Mayweather since all of Mayweather's big fights were held in the same venues Canelo now fights in.

This fight feels like a test for WIlder with all the overhand rights Povetkin is throwing. Joshua is failing.

Then you know the size of a venue has no bearing on a fighter's drawing power, which is what you claimed earlier.

The biggest fights happen in Vegas.

Anyone have Povetkin winning this comfortably so far on points? 4-2 or 5-1 to Povetkin for me in rounds...

Joshua just too damn good.

Slow start but from round 3 onwards he dominated and the Russian is finished.

Best in the world.

One shot to the face in round 7 and Povetkin was dead.


If only AJ could fight these guys when they were a similar age, we'd actually know how good he was.

Over to you wilder and/or fury

Wouldn't be surprised if both tried to lose that fight so they don't fight AJ.

Povetkin would have knocked AJ the f**k out when he was 26.

Probably cos AJ would have been 13.

Not much AJ can do about that. Povetkin still is a quality boxer as seen here but AJ is just that damn good.
