Awesome finish by AJ. Was even stevens before that

Cheers all

That was what I was screaming for he was looking for that too early leftvhimseld open to the hook

Re grouped learned a lot again tonight was very much what he needed

And then Jab Jab take the opportunity when it comes and did so in style great great finish very impressive

If we can get rid of the silly ness where he is not fully switched on then there’s a faultless fight due to come out

Lovely finish, thought the gushing from the commentators about how good he fought was a bit much.

Agree...everything is "amazing" nowdays when it's not really. Very poor heavyweight era.

Still, good to see 2 Brits in AJ and Fury up there and hopefully they'll fight and both fight Wilder. No one else out there. Talk of a Whyte rematch ffs zzzzzzz

I do not want to see AJ vs White

I think that it was another learning fight for AJ he needed the danger he needed to be clipped and caught for him to learn that he has to hold his nerve and he has to wait for the opportunity to show

AJ in the 5th and 6th tucked his chin behind the shoulder and then found the Jab was more confident and comfortable working behind it then the finish was faultless

Very very hard fight very very close fight up until the finish

That was the last rd Povetkin had in the tank where he could surprise everyone with a shock win

So it was all about the ability to be patient

Watch the knockdown again, Povetkin’s trainer pulls him through the ropes

Yeah I clocked that, I'm not 100% sure of what he was hoping to achieve if I'm honest

They forgot to pack a towel by the looks of it too

Do you think that same patience works against Wilder? Is his defence good enough?

Yeah I do , Wilder is not the one to watch Imo he is a clumsy swinging machine , who will be shit scared of the power AJ has I think Whyte beats wilder , we do not know enough about wilder one win on his cards against Ortiz who I am sure is 50!

The only reason they want wilder is that it is an easier fight than a fit in form Fury

Now I do not think Tyson is ready for wilder yet and he could lose that fight easily but I do think that by this time next year he could be ready

I think the fact Tyson has taken the wilder fight don’t listen to Hearn it’s happening in Vegas dec 1st . Tells me Tyson isn’t convinced that the old Tyson is coming back

AJ learned a lot tonight , against the biggest single punch power fighter that he has faced and prob , lb for lb the hardest hitter in the division for one Punch knockout power

Even sky's blog guy had povetkin three up first three rounds. Joshua ahead is being silly

That wasn't a leading question,was genuinely interested on your thoughts. So are we hoping/praying for a Fury win to set up an AJ fight? Agree they'd rather a full strength Fury is a tougher opponent but would it not have made more sense to take that on first and then still set up a Wilder fight after? Surely AJ Fury is a lower probability of Fury loses?

AJ doesn’t want anything to do with fury IMO fighting him now wouldn’t happen as Hearn would be too scared he misses the big Fight with the USA king wilder and Fury too scared he’d get beat due to conditioning

I have always believed that the AJ vs Fury fight will happen late 2019 in a stadium with the roof closed due to the obstacles of getting it done prior to that

If Fury beats wilder then Hearn and AJ May have no choice but to face him in April but I can’t see it

The fact they have mentioned Whyte means that’s the fight they will get done or if Hughie beats Pullev then I could see that fight being made

Yeah, it was so boring, I went and had a pint.
