1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:01,000
Speaker 1: It's in the books.

2
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 2: From London, Anthony Joshua defends a trio of heavyweight world

3
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 2: titles with a ninth round TKO against mandatory challenger Khubrop Poolev.

4
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 2: This is Morning Combat. This is your instant analysis right

5
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 2: after the Fight's Brian Campbell with you, one half of

6
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 2: your weekly mkduo along with Luke Thomas live shows three

7
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,119
Speaker 2: days a week, interviews with the biggest names.

8
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 1: You know where we're going with that. But I want

9
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 1: you to like this video.

10
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 2: I want you to subscribe to what we do here,

11
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 2: and I want you to kick back and look back

12
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 2: on what was a tremendous performance top to bottom from

13
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 2: Anthony Joshua scored four knockdowns, scored a defiant finish with

14
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 2: a beautiful right hand cross to land the final knockout

15
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 2: against Poolev, the thirty nine year old from Bulgaria, and

16
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 2: effectively end the fight right there.

17
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,599
Speaker 1: There's going to be a knee jerk reaction here that

18
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: I need.

19
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 2: You to understand but not live in right like taste it,

20
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 2: taste the drug right, but don't inhale it. Here it's

21
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 2: the fact that Anthony Joshua is now wounded from the

22
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 2: two Andy Ruiz fights too safe, doesn't believe in himself

23
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 2: and would never have a chance to beat another elite heavyweight.

24
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 2: That's false at the moment, and obviously this win from

25
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 2: Poohlev sets up monster potential for twenty twenty one, including

26
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 2: that Tyson Fury fight. I'm not going to get into

27
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 2: that as much in this breakdown save that from Mondays

28
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 2: at Morning Combat. But just how what aj may or

29
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 2: may not have proved for us right here, let's look

30
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 2: at it closely. He was stopped in twenty nineteen by

31
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 2: Andy Ruiz, Monster upset loss, comes back and wins it

32
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 2: back in December and Saudi Arabia, but was totally safe

33
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,759
Speaker 2: two passive, circled from the outside.

34
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: And jabbed the whole way.

35
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 2: All in all, this Poulev performance was sort of a

36
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 2: middle ground between the two, and I want to prepare

37
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 2: you and let you know that moving forward, that's probably

38
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 2: who Anthony Joshua is going to be. So there's nothing

39
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 2: to worry about, per se. Unless you thought that this

40
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 2: man was an impenetrable, penetrable destroyer the whole time, I

41
00:01:59,200 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 2: got news for you.

42
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: He wasn't. Right.

43
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 2: Despite the chiseled muscles, the ability to finish with both

44
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 2: hands the heart he has shown in his big fights.

45
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 2: Anthony Joshua is vulnerable and that's a big part of

46
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 2: why covering him and watching him as a fan has

47
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 2: been so fun because he could lose any fight at

48
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 2: any time. And I got news for you about your

49
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 2: other British hero, right Lennox Lewis was the same way

50
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 2: for most of his career, whether it was a correct

51
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 2: perception or not, because we had seen him starched by

52
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 2: two different people that he came back.

53
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: And avenged in one.

54
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 2: Overall, I saw a lot of the stuff on Twitter

55
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 2: after Joshua Coo brought Poolev hurt in that third round.

56
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: He dropped him with an uppercut.

57
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 2: I'm sorry he made Poolev turn his back after hurting

58
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 2: him with the right hand, which was a knockdown. And oh,

59
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 2: by the way, that could have been the end of

60
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 2: the fight right there. Poolev turned his back away from

61
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 2: the action, ran to the corner to seek shelter. He

62
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 2: was lucky the referee who had an awful night at

63
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 2: the office. I don't remember his name, I'd never seen

64
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 2: him before. Hopefully I don't see him again. That could

65
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 2: have been a knockout right a stoppage. Instead, it was

66
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 2: just a standing eight count of knock down and then

67
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 2: AJ came right back with another flurry to get an

68
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 2: actual knockdown. Two knockdowns in round three. And I'll give

69
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 2: Joshua credit. I think I may have said Fury in

70
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 2: that rambler. You know what I'm saying, A you know

71
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 2: what I mean, it's Aj. I'll give Joshua credit. He

72
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,959
Speaker 2: went for the finish in round three. He had Koup

73
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 2: brought Poulev hurt, badly hurt, and he went for it.

74
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 2: But when he didn't get it, and as we started

75
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 2: rounds four, five, and six, there was a change on Twitter,

76
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 2: change in sort of the public perception of, you know,

77
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 2: maybe AJ's waiting too long. Why is he allowing this

78
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 2: wounded animal to linger and.

79
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: Ku brought Pulev?

80
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 2: Why is he not coming out in rounds four, five,

81
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 2: six and doing exactly what he did in round three?

82
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: And while you can certainly.

83
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 2: Chastise him or criticize him for that, if you want

84
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 2: him to be, you know, a destroyer, if you want

85
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 2: him to be Mike Tyson, if you don't want him

86
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 2: to play with his food, and you want him to

87
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 2: be this prototype, stereotypical perfect heavyweight.

88
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: Yes, that is what we want of our heroes, that is.

89
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 2: What idea he would do. But again, AJ's not that guy.

90
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 2: He's he can be vulnerable. He's always been little quasi

91
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 2: vulnerable because it's not that he has a bad or

92
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 2: awful chin, but he.

93
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: Can be hurt.

94
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 2: And these are monster heavyweights in the super heavyweight era

95
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 2: that he's fighting.

96
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: He can get hurt a little bit easy.

97
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 2: There's times he can gas a little bit, like in

98
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 2: the Klitchko fight when he got dropped where he suddenly

99
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 2: had a stamina dump. So would you have loved for

100
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 2: Joshua to repeat rounds three in rounds four through seven, Yes,

101
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,799
Speaker 2: against Koubra Pulev. But there's reasons why it didn't happen,

102
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 2: and there's reasons in some ways why it shouldn't happen.

103
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 2: AJ learned a lot from what happened in that first

104
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 2: Andy Ruiz fight. He battered him around the ring himself

105
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 2: early in that what was it round three, that Round

106
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 2: of the Year contender, knocked him down, knocked Andy Ruiz down,

107
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 2: and then got a little bit too excited, a little

108
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,679
Speaker 2: bit too in love with his own ability to finish

109
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 2: and he got caught, and he got caught with one

110
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 2: of those equilibrium temple shots, and it changed the tenor

111
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 2: of that fight. And even though Aja hung around, he

112
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 2: was not the same guy. And he learned a lot there. Okay,

113
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 2: I get the fear that he may have learned too

114
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 2: much negatively and it's changing who he is as a fighter. Well,

115
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 2: it is changing who he is as a fighter. But

116
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 2: I think given the look, given the inequities that he has,

117
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 2: given the natural weaknesses that he has, he's not perfect.

118
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 2: I thought he played this fight against Poolev perfectly in

119
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 2: light of what happened last year and in light of

120
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,799
Speaker 2: the reality of who he is. Okay, if you believe

121
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, Tyson Fury is always

122
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 2: going to beat Anthony Joshua under any circumstance.

123
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: Not only do I back you on that belief. And

124
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: that's not an awful.

125
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 2: Opinion, because Tyson Fury is proving that this is his

126
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 2: heavyweight era.

127
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: He's amazing. But I got a little bit of other

128
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: news for you.

129
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 2: There's pretty much no one else outside of Tyson Fury

130
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 2: that can do that to Anthony Joshua, and Anthony Joshua

131
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 2: showed in this fight against a very stubborn in game

132
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 2: Poolev that it's not going to be easy to walk

133
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 2: through him. What we saw in in Fury Wilder too,

134
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 2: we're not going to see that necessarily in Fury Joshua.

135
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: But back to Joshua Poolev.

136
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 2: Another big reason that Aja wasn't a to get the

137
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 2: finished as quick after that big third round was that

138
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 2: Koprot Pulev put it all on the table. You know,

139
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 2: he was very responsible defensively. He covered up on a

140
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 2: lot of attempts from Aj throughout the first half of

141
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 2: the fight to land the big upper cut, land the

142
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 2: combinations and get him out of there. He was also

143
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 2: tough as nails to hang in, get his legs back,

144
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 2: get his head back and try to deliver.

145
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: And then any time.

146
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 2: I saw in round six seven when AJ thought he

147
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 2: had an opening, who brought Puolov was right there to

148
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 2: fill it with the right hand, and if he wasn't

149
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 2: landing the right hand clean, the threat of it is

150
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 2: what kept AJ in not not you know, safety mode completely,

151
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 2: not prevent defense mode, but the mode that says this,

152
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 2: if I try to go for it and just knock

153
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 2: this guy down, because I had success in that one

154
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 2: round earlier. You know, I might get caught for it.

155
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 2: I may have a relapse of what happened last year.

156
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 2: And Guys, I don't know if AJ will ever get

157
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 2: out of that mode. And and I don't know if

158
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 2: that he has to. And that's the whole key of

159
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 2: really this take right here, is that you know he's

160
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 2: a little bit damaged, but he's still really damn good

161
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 2: in a division that doesn't have absolute technicians, doesn't have

162
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 2: people that can put the whole game together. They texted

163
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 2: me right here, so I.

164
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: Gotta give AJ credit. He rode behind his jab in.

165
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 2: Those middle rounds against Poolev and thought, Okay, I'm not

166
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 2: gonna get him out here with one shot.

167
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna break him down.

168
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 2: And it was that strategic change AJ's had in round six, seven,

169
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 2: eight to jab to the body that really brought down

170
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 2: who brought Poolev's guard, really brought down that the setup

171
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 2: for that right hand, and that was the change in

172
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 2: the fight.

173
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: Now you give Poolev credit.

174
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 2: He was he stood basically on his last legs in

175
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 2: round eight, and he came out early in that run

176
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 2: landa two very good right hands, very clean that I

177
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 2: think it definitely continued the thought in AJ's mind that

178
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 2: I can get caught here. But I think it was

179
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 2: also the last of what Poolev had left, and AJ,

180
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 2: to his credit, took it very well, and he started

181
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 2: to transition to let's continue to pull down Poolev's guard

182
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 2: with the jabs to the body, and let's hit him.

183
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 2: Let's open him up and get him out of here.

184
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 2: The ninth round was beautiful.

185
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: AJ.

186
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 2: Three consecutive uppercuts with the right hand, all landed clean

187
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 2: and all hurt him, and that led to Poolev taken

188
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 2: the cooto any more or less to wait it out,

189
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 2: clear his head get back up, and when he did,

190
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 2: it was that beautiful one to the jab and then

191
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 2: that right cross and you can see for guy six

192
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 2: six right with a ridiculously long leech in Joshua, he

193
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 2: set that up from so far away. It was such

194
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 2: a beautiful knockout blow. Yes, Poolev got to his feet,

195
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 2: but he wasn't okay, good stoppage, great finish. I mean,

196
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 2: we cannot forget this when talking about Joshua's flaws. Is

197
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 2: you know, while there's the best one punch guy in

198
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 2: this division and game in general, but I don't think

199
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 2: he's a better finisher at heavyweight all things considered, Like Lewis,

200
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 2: Ortiz got power and craft, but there's nobody who can

201
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 2: finish and can smell the blood like Aj and get

202
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 2: people out of there.

203
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: Now again, you may your whole take on this fight.

204
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 2: Maybe he can smell the blood, right, he can listen

205
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 2: to Jimmy, but he can't hear it.

206
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: Can he though deliver?

207
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 2: Well, He's not gonna take those chances, especially against the

208
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 2: guy as stubborn and responsible as Poolev.

209
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 1: And again, there aren't a.

210
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 2: Whole hell of a lot of guys as stubborn and

211
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 2: responsible as Poolev. H. He didn't have that real big

212
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 2: avenues to win in this fight, but he did very

213
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 2: well to keep himself alive in it and avoid, you know,

214
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 2: going down in it for good in round three when

215
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 2: the water's got choppy.

216
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: So in closing, look, this is who AJ is going forward.

217
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 2: I don't care if he fights Luis Ortiz tomorrow or

218
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 2: Sepher Sufuri or whoever you got.

219
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: You know that your uber driver. He's gonna be a

220
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: little bit cautious.

221
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 2: But he's also six ' six in jacked and strong

222
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 2: and quick and has a much better IQ when it

223
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 2: comes to boxing that I think people give him credit for.

224
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: Go rewatch that somewhat boring Joseph Parker Unification, a bout

225
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 1: in which he boxed beautifully. He can do a lot

226
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: of things.

227
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 2: I don't think he's damaged goods in a in a

228
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 2: negative sense anymore where he still can't fulfill his long

229
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 2: term goals and fulfill his legacy. I just think we

230
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 2: need to come to terms at who he is. And

231
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 2: this may be a thing where his confidence starts to

232
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 2: grow a couple more wins over time, right, Or it

233
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 2: may be a thing where he is this sort of

234
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 2: cautious forever. But if he can keep people at distance

235
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 2: as he did to Poolev with his jab, and be

236
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 2: that quick and be that game and savvy, he may

237
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 2: just out box people. And there may be fights where

238
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 2: you go, like we did the second half of Vladimir

239
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 2: Klitschko's career, where we go, oh, that's boring, man. He

240
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 2: just you know, he plays it safe. He just keeps

241
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 2: him out there on the end of the jab. That

242
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 2: also might keep aj around a lot. But best believe,

243
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:24,719
Speaker 2: as we saw in this one, as we saw in

244
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 2: round nine, if he finds the opening, He'll get you

245
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 2: out of there.

246
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 1: AJ's a fun fighter, He's a special fighter.

247
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 2: He's he's also a bit damage and a bit of

248
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 2: a you know, imperfect fighter in a lot of ways.

249
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: That's how we love him.

250
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 2: I want to see Aj Fury more than you do,

251
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 2: believe me, and I hope we do next year. A

252
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 2: lot more to come on Monday's Morning Combat to talk

253
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 2: about that, what the fight would look like, what steps

254
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 2: have to be made to make it all that? And

255
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 2: then some tall, pale and handsome it is your boy,

256
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 2: BC signing off for now on the instant analysis of

Speaker 2: Morning Combat.

258
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: Like and subscribe. It's AJ's night in London, Sweet Caroline.

259
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,839
Speaker 2: Indeed, ninth round TKO, he's still got three or four

260
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 2: else he still is your.

261
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: Power player in the heavyweight division. And if he was here,

262
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: he'd tell you two words. Right we out
