Just imagine it was last night. It's very risky doing something like that I know they are having another fight there so unless he's having a long break or going elsewhere for next fight seems a bit silly.Quote:

I've been to the last 3 Joshua fights and I'd pick Cardiff over Wembley every time both for the area around the stadium and the atmosphere that can be created within it. The weather for a boxing event also gives Cardiff a huge advantage.
It did strike me while being at Wembley that the pitch seats would get soaked and the tiered seating (within reason) is the safer option all round.
It is a funny thought to think that some celebs and big time charlies at ringside could get a good soaking tomorrow night though.
It could very well be a good thing for Cardiff if it means the Joshua-Wilder/Fury fight (as it probably will be) is changed due to the weather this time though.
Signed a contract at Wembley for the next two, unless it's blown down by the storm there's no chance the next one will not be there.Quote:

But Wembley is closer to home for him, has more seats to sell (although not sure they have) and for those attending has far better transport links and hotel options.
I think he will be back at some point as the roof combined with earning potential is a massive positive.
I think the last two down here have been a little boring as he hasn't been pushed.Quote:

Who can blame him really in a sport and weight where one mistake means you are knocked out?
Think tomorrow's fight will be a better spectacle and a dangerous one with Povetkin's style.
He certainly can't cruise like he has done against Takan and Parker.
Yea he was quite cautious in the those fights.Quote:

He probably could have opened up more against Parker who is quite limited.
I think it will go to points and Joshua win comfortably enough but I don't see it being a really entertaining fight. Hopefully wrong and he has an explosive ko lined up.
When's he going to fight anyone , who might offer some residence,wheres Joe Bugner when he need him .
