Yeah you have to give both guys credit. This will be great for Joshua, he has been shown some of his weaknesses. He isn't ready for world level, in 2 years he will He needs to stop weight lifting as much and increase his stamina
On the Radio Hearn said he may go after the winner of the IBF Heavyweight Title in the Summer A few people have compared Joshua to Bruno Had Bruno been hit by the punches Joshua took early on he would have lost the fight No question Bruno couldn't take those punches And Richie Woodhall said the uppercut Joshua threw would knock out any heavyweight in the world The power is there and he can take a punch It's going to be an exciting ride Wonder how long it takes for his next show to sellout?
Who are all the heavyweights that would beat Joshua Few and far between He may have weaknesses but they all do at the moment It's not a strong division
Good fight, good victory. Just what AJ needed. AJ seriously needs to fix up this habit of hitting after the bell. He's done that in a number of different fights
If Joshua had KO'ed Whyte in 1 some of you would be saying "proves nothing he's still a glass chinned fraud". He took some hard shots, kept fighting and adapted to the situation against a good fighter in Whyte. He had some weaknesses exposed no doubt but nothing that can't be ironed out with time and experience.
Fair play to double edge didn't think you would give credit to joshua after your previous posts(drug dealing scumbag etc)Maybe you are more balanced than i thought. Bb has not a clue though!
I think AJ did a good job. We did not see him push over and knock-out another fighter, we seen him fight. The 5th round was the best boxing round from AJ I've seen this far, he showed that he is more then a knock-out artist and that he can box as well. He also showed he can take a punch and his stamina is OK. Off course, Joshua is not ready for world level opponents yet, but last night he had his best learning fight since turning pro.
He got hurt, adapted and didn't go down. I think him being hurt will actually help him in his career; he knows what to expect now. Whyte isn't that great a boxer, but - despite those who claimed otherwise - we already knew that. He does hit hard though so is always a threat. How he progresses will help measure how good a win this was for AJ
Fair play DoubleEdge, didn't think you would come out and give him credit but fair play for doing so.
