I thought my round 4 was a cert after 3 credit to him for hanging in there. I had a feeling he could have ended it at any time he wanted. Great finish great uppercut well done AJ lad.

Impressive from Joshua, expected a bit more from Pulev. Correct prediction though as usual😉

AJ was excellent tonight. Kept the distance well and made it an easy night for himself. Devastating finish but I do feel Pulev was shot after about 7

If, and it’s a big if, they make the Fury fight I think it’s a genuine 50:50.
My money would be on Fury but Joshua could also knock him out at any time. Joshua’s always had power but his boxing is improving now but I think Fury’s boxing IQ and movement may just edge it.

AJ inside 8 for me, no big knock out, just a stoppage. This aged well....

I just think Fury will get inside his head. He won't be able to outbox Fury he will have to try and get in close.

Devastating knockout, expected more from pulev, AJ fan but he loses to fury with ease.

Fury would comfortably beat Joshua imo. Wilder/Joshua would be the more interesting fight. Either way, AJ needs to fight both if he wants the legacy he keeps talking about.

Fury will play with aj not impressed with him tonite especially against a washed up pulev no movement from him got hit to much the uppercut landed to much fury is the top dog

Joshua’s always had power but his boxing is improving now but I think Fury’s boxing IQ and movement may just edge it. Nah fury is just too big and a far better boxer. When he leaned on wilder that was it. Wilder was shagged in a couple of rounds and I’d question Joshuas stamina in the same situation.

Couldn't believe what I was watching when Pulev turned his back cowardly in the corner, thought the ref was going to stop it there and then.
Anyways, Fury still beats AJ for me. I struggle to see AJ getting those uppercuts in against Fury like he did last night, Fury to pick him off and win on points.

I think so too, generally the better boxer beats the better puncher but there’s always a chance. I think the interesting thing will be whether Fury uses the same come forward approach as he did against Wilder in the second fight, or stand off a bit more and try to pick up points on the jab.

Joshua is a miles better boxer than wilder so pushing into the back foot wouldn’t have the same effect. Fury going to keep the distance and pick up points. I’d say it’s about 60/40 in fury’s favour, after all Joshua is an Olympic gold medalist and does have a pretty impressive resume of victories of the current top ten. It’s the Messi ronaldo debate for me again one is more natural and one is more athletic but on the day either is the best in the world.

He'll end up fighting Usyk next - a fight which no one is arsed about.

So Fury V AJ looks to be closer to happening this is one I might actually pay for 🙂
