what did u guys think? despite the stoppage this was p**s poor from whyte i thought. no were near same league as AJ
I agree, will reserve judgement though as he did say he injured his shoulder badly, so would of played a big part. Only his performance against AJ will matter now though.
Didn't look focused to me, I'm sure you'll see a much sharper more focused Whyte in a couple of months.
I think he'll be Joshua's first live opponent, pretty certain of that even though tonight he wasn't hugely impressive. Joshua hype is going to be turned up again however, he'll be a big underdog.
Dillian can bang very powerfully, something that nobody Joshua has fought so far had the ability to do.
If he beat Whyte there can be no more ****ing around with opponents. European champion, one world level journeyman, by which time Fury will have won the Wlad rematch he's contracted to, and Povetkin will be WBC champ.
Shoulder injury or not, he's been **** poor in his last few fights so it's no excuse. He's got a big punch and a pair of ***** but that's all he has. He'll never get past domestic level even with Banks training him. He just doesn't have what it takes.
The technique of his straigh right is awful. Throwing it like a complete novice hitting a punching machine in an arcade after 8 pints and a few lines.
Lets be fair Minto was higher ranked than anyone Joshua has fought including Johnson and AJ did take 3 to stop Gavern. Looking forward to December
I think the matchmaking didn't work here to be honest and in particular whytes, it's hard to look good against minto
