To a degree. Joshua isn't gonna put him out with his first punch I wouldn't have thought. He'll grind him down like Bowe did.
I think Joshua knocks him out as soon as he lands a big shot. I can't see Hide surviving the initial onslaught.
3 rounds is still a wipe out in my eyes, I didn't watch the Molina fight because of work but wasn't that the first meaningful shot he landed?
3 rounds means he wasn't able to knock him out in the first 6 minutes of action. Joshua landed more than one punch this weekend.
Hide is not Molina anyway, I just can't for the life of me see Hide surviving knockdowns like he did against Bowe.
Hard to say. David Price looked like the heaviest handed fighter in history but when he stepped up a level he got his ass handed to him.
Even though Hide is more proven to a degree, I'd favour Joshua. The size difference, with Joshua's power and Hide's abysmal chin would be deciding factors. Hide of course would be dangerous, he hit's very hard, but he's too open, and Joshua wouldn't need to land cleanly to even stop him. Hide's chin is so bad it could end up being a Charles Martin kind of KO from Joshua where he stops his man without even landing a particularly hard shot. From what I recall of Hide's fight with Bowe, he went down from some very insignificant shots. Bowe was not even landing his best but every time he landed anything remotely cleanly he had him down.
