So the AJ fight will start no later than 10 due to the noise curfew apparently.

Early really.

I don't suppose anyone has a link to an online stream?

I am interested to hear that because I don't normally bother to pay to watch the fights because they start to 2am. I might just pay the £20 to watch this one now !

Camble reminds me of a cat playing with a dangling string.
His jab wouldn’t knock a 3 year over.

I don't think he's expecting to knock anyone over with his jab.

I find it mildly irritating!

Campbell really can box beautifully when he is in this mood.

No knock downs or real excitement but his movement is fantastic to watch at times.

I think that was a class display from Luke Campbell - he had a very handy, fit, game opponent who was on the front foot and who cut the ring off exceptionally well. Let's not forget he also had a loss against him.

Thought he dealt with him brilliantly. Great movement and a class display - thought his shorts were slightly too small for him though!

Mendy never really thought he won that did he?

So... having aid my £20 I've had a look at this Russian chap. 39 years old, 6'2" vs 6'6", 15 3/4 stone vs 17st 2 lbs - is this a bit of a mis-match or am I missing something?

If Joshua goes toe to toe, Povetkin has every chance. If he stays behind the jab, may be a mis-match.

Expect Povetkin to put in more of an effort than Parker did though.

In short, no. Only has one loss - to Vladimir Klitschko which went the distance. 70% KO record. Avenged all of his amateur losses.

He's no walkover - did you see his fight against Price last time out?

You underestimate Povetkin.

AJ is fighting not only what appears to be an invincible opponent, he is also fighting a very hostile crowd with the Russian premier and most of the politburo looking on.

Is it Christmas Day?

[Mothersruin]

Here's hoping for a contest but ultimately an AJ win.

Invincible? How many times did Wlad put Povetkin down? Did Povetkin get past Wlad's jab? And that fight was in his home country too (Moscow).

Povetkin is a lot older now.

[272BHP]

Got one.

[Mothersruin]

Surprised the gloves can be touched like that.
