“Evening Luke. I think this is a tough fight for Joshua – and believe that he has to knock his man out,” emails David Horn. “I was a little surprised at how light he came in - his main advantage (apart from experience in the division) is his size & his power. Coming in light diminishes that and suggested (to me) that he was going to try and be more nimble, and possibly outbox his opponent. That seems like a risky strategy. He’s going to need to knock this fella out, and playing to his size and strength is a better route to that in my view. Still ... shaping up to be a good one, and am very much looking forward to it. Enjoy your evening!”
