UPDATE – ANTHONY JOSHUA VS ALEXANDER POVETKIN. ROUND 5

Published

on

Round five

Both fighters appear to have recovered from those early blows to the face. That’s a hard-fought round.

When Povetkin gets in close, he looks threatening. Joshua needs to keep an eye on that.

Round four

Better from Joshua.

Joshua lands one on Povetkin’s face early in the fourth round as his right hander makes it through and cuts the Russian’s left eye. More blood in this fight.

Povetkin’s tactics are about the power shots. But AJ seems to be finding his range and is moving well around the ring.
