Teddy Atlas, former trainer of the young Mike Tyson and Michael Moorer, who later became heavyweight champions, is in for a surprise in the main event of tomorrow's boxing night in Riyadh.
In the main fight of the evening Anthony Joshua (26-3, 23 KOs) will face Otto Wallin (26-1, 14 KOs). Few boxing analysts expect the Swede to win, but one of those few is an American analyst.
“The choice of Joshua would be obvious, but I’m expecting a big surprise. If the fight goes the full twelve rounds, AJ may be awarded a points win by the judges, regardless of whether he is actually superior or not. He hits hard, harder than his opponent, so he can also win by knockout, but I expect Wallin to do enough and beat Joshua at full distance,” Atlas said.
