    Kind of.

    It's a mix of people who hate Joshua (a few), people who put a lot on the line in forcefully picking Parker and don't want to lose face (a few more) and some guys who had it close to Parker or a draw and are horrified by the scorecards (the minority).

    And he still got knocked out cold...again

    You have no credibility here. You are the only person on earth who thinks Ingo would beat Liston in 1959

    Sky commentary is utter crap. It’s dog****. Talk about cheerleading Joshua! To top it all Karl froch just said that He’s not sure Joshua has enough power at that weight! In truth most people thought AJ had enough stamina heavier than tonight.

    Joshua won clearly. He can do 12 rounds at this weight. But he needs to eclipse Hughie Fury.

    His barber has a real sense of humor.

    Other than that, he is the most skilled heavy I have seen in a long time but a wasted talent, more or less. Thanks to a late start and Teddy Atlas. Now he will 39 before getting another title challenge.

    Susan, if a guy gets off the floor to deck the other guy he don’t got no glass jaw. Anyone can get poleaxed at heavyweight.

    The fight was a dud!! Nobody deserves that but no way was Parker going to get a decision in England. Shame on him fighting like that.

    Nobody took a risk. Big heavyweight fight and everyone was afraid to go for it.

    Don’t tell me about high skill level I would of been pissed had I paid top dollar to see that show.

    Dud fight. Joshua won a round maybe 2 more for walking forward more late.

    He still has the angles and activity but seems to have lost a bit on his fastball, to use a baseball term. He's old and getting older. I really don't know what to think of Joshua yet but I suspect Pov gives him a run for his money and definitely chin checks him... even at this age.

    Looking at the problems that Price gave him, I do not see Povetkin presenting Joshua with much trouble!

    Parker would have taken both of them in the same card!

    Pretty mediocre fight to be fair. If you didn't catch it, you didn't miss too terribly much.

    Poverkin has definitely lost a step. He's almost 40. But his best is quite a bit better than I've seen from Joshua. The problem is that Sasha's best is in the past.

    Joshua knocked out Wlad. What has Sasha ever done on that level?

    I take it you haven't seen the notorious @lufcrazy thread on MichiganWarrior's take on the term "floored?"

    An elderly Wlad, that was, Suzie.

    And that fight could have gone either way.

    Only if you saw Povetkin being "decked" last night.
