Yes, his boxing on the back foot today was on a different planet to his performance against Povetkin, for example. In opposite land.
Joshua always seems cold in the first round, and anyone with a bit of power that can get him going backwards has a decent chance. Think peak Fury...
His heart and IQ were questioned before this fight unnecessarily. He took Wardley's best shots and jabbed him to the point of no return. Not much...
Incredible effort from Nunez, though I actually thought Navarrete started holding back towards the end. Glad it got stopped, that last round was...
I have it 9-0 Navarette and Nunez's eye is bad. How brave is Nunez!?
6-0 Navarrete for me. Like the way he hides his straight right behind the jab. Nunez attacking more which is fun, but he's right on the end of...
3-0 Navarrete for me
Barrios was hopeless from start to finish. 12-0 Garcia may we never speak of it again
Barrios looks like a rabbit in the headlights, same as the Pacquiao fight
114-113 Hiraoka for me, but a lot of close rounds. Would watch a rematch. Official scores too wide for me.
I have it 4-4 in rounds but Hiraoka's have been bigger and he's starting to take over, and has looked the more dangerous all fight.
Not yet ready to compare Smith and Mosley. Call me pedantic
Shades of Mosley Margarito, albeit a significantly lower level obviously
I felt the exact same. Difference between Matias taking his time and getting roughed up. Smith went high risk high reward, incredible fight!
Matias looked a little hurt at the end of that round.
