It's not the most exciting fight I've seen.
What? I was able to write 3 page essays in about 40 minutes. Involved some quick writing.
Better than AJs last one at least..
Come on POV! Sick of the public hype job now.
My mum and many of her friends went around to one of their houses earlier to have a drink up over the fight, all of which know absolutely feck all about boxing, they’re just aboard the hype train. This is the shit we have to put up with nowadays.

Ugh, can't stand this commentary. I know he's the home favourite, but it's nauseating.
If this goes like that AJ would lose by a slight margin.
Reckon AJ's waiting for round 8 or 9 to unload. Just trying to let Povetkin tire himself out and slow down.
I hope you didn't spill too much ink on the paper.
Very entertaining fight. Very little clinching, both fighters throwing a lot of punches and going for it.
Pretty even so far. Anything can happen going forward.
I can't figure out if AJ strategy is to box, keep away from the overhand right and let age and work to the body slow down Povetkin in the later rounds, or what. If that's it, he's done a so-so job of it
Enjoying this
It's embarrassing. Talking about how Povetkin is looking tired and AJ is coming on, despite the fact that Povetkin is winning the round.
Wow.
The power!!!
Wow!
All I can hear in the crowd is Bellew.
Came out of nowhere 
Wow!!! Out of nowhere!
Woof.
Awesome power that
That is how you do it!!
that was impressive
Ref is a moron, should have stopped it there
Good finish from AJ
Good finish from AJ
Great finish.
Yess AJ!!
Very impressive from AJ.
He pulled that one out. AJ still destroys Wildturd, regardless.
Definitely. Povetkin didn't look steady at all.
Yeah, shouldn't have let him continue after the first one. He was totally done.
Joshua is too good. So much power. 7 rounds even or slightly worse and still wins with ease in the end
Boom. Bring on the winner of the clownshow.
Don't really understand the problem with the 'hype train'.
He's a world class heavyweight fighter, and he just so happens to be British. Why not get behind him?
The part in bold, again, why is this a problem? If it's spreading the sport and increasing it's popularity amongst those who wouldn't normally watch it then why is that bad? You surely can't think that boxing should only be watched and enjoyed by those who know significant in-depth knowledge about it? That seems quite a blinkered and insular approach to have.
Never in doubt. Joshua is fantastic.
This era of heavyweights is mediocre. Wilder, Fury, AJ all pretty average overall compared to the greats. On tonights showing I'd be surprised if he can avoid Wilder's right hand early on and if he can't then it's good night. Fury would be hands down better than either of them if he hadn't have fallen off the wagon.
Sick power!
I'm switching off before they start interviewing that cnut Hearn.

I say let the hype train roll onh. Choo Choo!
Yep. Boxers need protecting from themselves. Corner should have ended it too. Thankfully Joshua didn’t go crazy on him.
Scorecards sounded dodgy.
