A few users were impressed by Fury’s score in the punch machine. In fact, user @RossLeBrun hilariously mentioned that the WBC will make a punch machine belt for Fury.
Similarly, user @z388z also felt that Fury ‘owned’ Joshua.
We boxing lovers would like him to trade that sort of punches with Tyson Fury. Why is he silent? We urgently want to hear from the man himself if he losts interest of fighting for the BEC belt and why.
In the same vein, user @WillamDeWee1 on the other hand mentioned that boxing fans rather wished to see him fight Fury.
These things are pointless I’ve deadass seen my mate hit 999 on one of these before and he’s just some fat man from Newcastle
Can/do they not calibrate these differently for pro’s? My brother regularly hits over 900 on these when out and he’s just an average built guy with bit of beef on him.
Meanwhile, a few users were doubtful if the punch machines were calibrated differently for professional boxers. And user @Lufc19821 mentioned that his brother regularly hits over 900.
Packing power like that if he gets his mindset and confidence up he could beat anyone. I would really like to see him with Johnathan Banks and Wlad. Wlad came bk when ppl thought he was done to dominate a decade. Would be a good team.
That's it. As an honest diehard Fury meatrider, it pains me to say AJ would demolish him in 3 rounds.
However, a few users were all praise for Joshua’s punching power. User @goat_pierce was sure that Joshua would demolish Fury in 3 rounds.
The punch machine doesn’t move though
My moneys on the machine, it’s probably more mobile
If only the punch machine could move slightly, Joshua would have been outboxed.
Moreover, a few users took a dig at Joshua by stating that the punch machine could not move. In fact, user @CJ_Randell felt that Joshua would have been outboxed if it could move.
