Now two minutes, both just jabbing a bit, then AJ finally unleashes a right but it doesn’t get there. Staying on the jab through the first round. Joshua’s jab was probably a bit more effective.

Round 3: So far, this has been mostly the AJ from last December, patient, a little cautious, not taking big risks, and Pulev isn’t making him do much more than Ruiz did then.

Pulev drilled again and he’s DOWN ON THE CANVAS THIS TIME! 10 seconds to go in the round, Pulev trying to stay away. Joshua bombing again! Uppercuts and hooks, and Pulev will hear the bell, and takes a little cheapshot, and AJ takes a bigger cheapshot! Joshua 10-7, 30-25

Round 4: Joshua is itching to get this going, referee admonishing them for the end of the third round. Joshua snapping the jab, follows with a right. Pulev’s legs aren’t fully there. He can’t get close enough to do anything in return, he needs AJ to make a big mistake, and then he has to capitalize. Pulev does come forward with a 1-2, AJ backs off some. Joshua back to the jab. Joshua staying with that, Pulev got his legs back a bit and AJ didn’t get silly, but it’s still his round. Joshua 10-9, 40-34

Round 5: Joshua continues jabbing and controlling, then lands a good right hand, though not full weight that landed. But a good, eye-catching shot. Jab, jab, jab. Pulev just can’t find anything to capitalize on, but he’s coming forward plenty. Pulev tries a right, mostly gets smothered, threw it too close. Pulev tries another right in close.

Pulev’s 1-2 misses, Joshua ducked under. Joshua not doing a lot this round, the last two, really. But Pulev still struggling to get work done himself. Pulev really unleashes a right, but again it misses. He’s been very predictable, but he’s at least throwing something that can make a difference if it does get there. Joshua with more jabs, then misses an uppercut. Fight getting chippy again in the clinch, Pulev throwing a lot of rabbit punches, AJ not afraid to throw on the break, ref doing nothing about either.

Joshua to the body with the jab, but Pulev sees a little opening. Joshua back to the body with the jab, Pulev misses a hook.
