From what I have seen having just rewatched Joshua against Wlad there wasn't much in the first 4 rounds. Even so Wlad was controlling ring centre. Anthony looked more uncomfortable than he has ever looked. There was nothing clear about the first 4 rounds. There's a good case Joshua didn't win any of the first four rounds. Each could go either way. Some might be even. Being as generous as I can, Joshua won round 3 and round 1. I gave 4 and 2 to Wlad but round one was so even. .
If I remember correctly then those were the exact rounds I gave to Wlad, 2 and 4. I had them 2-2 after 4.

More or less what I said. Spoon wouldn't be easy fight and it could go wrong for aj, but I think he's capable.
Have you watched the first round of Bruno v Witherspoon and compared that level of boxing with the first round of the Joshua v Klitschko fight yet?
I did and to be honest it's the first time I've seen any of that fight in years. Was surprised at the level of activity in that first round. And spoon looks a lot better than I remember.
I thought witherspoon v Bruno would look like a slightly better level than Joshua v Klitschko, but I didn't expect that kind of pace. The boxing was more sophisticated and advanced compared to what we have become used to. Still, Joshua will improve to that level pretty quickly.
I was suprised. Probably because of when you think of the 80 s champs, you think of some of em as been slow and ponderous, but definitely not the case in that round.
I've got it mate. And spot on there. Funny how not seeing a fight for such a time, certain things u forget. It's not what I expected to find.
