Joshua stops Sprott brutally in 1, Pulev couldn't do it in 9!

What was so sensational? I think the stoppage was a bit too premature. For me these are warning signs. Fighters that need every conceivable advantage in their favor for marketability usually will bust in the near future. The referee stopped the fight at the first sign of trouble Sprott was in and didn't even let him get a chance to work his way out. There was nothing spectacular about his performance yesterday. He did was he was supposed to do.

 

Josuha is at this time noting more that a prospect. He need to step it up. Winning against c level or shot opponents does not help him.

 

Sprotts always been susceptible to the knockout out though, he's nowhere near Williams level of "shot" even if he been stopped in the 1st rd 3x in the last 15 months, he did win Prizefighter around this time last year..... Most of the guys Danny has lot to recently Sprott beats no problem, he's still a game journeyman(Sprott)

Would probably be best for him to retire, but he's at least able to win fights and defend himself in the ring, unlike Williams.

 

Then Joshua should fight Pulev next...................

 

Foreman stopped both Frazier and Norton in two rounds, Ali couldn't do it in 15!. Styles make fights, dumbass.

 

well pulev cant punch that hard....

 

Pulev is done, he's now a Klitschko leftover like Chagaev . . . Should look for a WBA regular, WBC regular, silver or one of those hundret green Belts Charr always defends.. :good

he had his crack at Champions League level but it showed hes just Euro Leaugue level :deal

 

That's too big a jump up in class at the moment. It would be like when Price jumped up from domestic level to fight Thompson.

Pulev has proven he can go 12 rounds and compete at a high level, AJ has only fought journeymen to date, fought 10 opponents and never been beyond 3 rounds.

But then again Beterbiev battered Cloud so while a win isn't out of the question it is unlikely and a huge risk.

 

That's KLitschko's quote isnt it?
I still believe Pulev gave a reasonably good account of himself and would like to see the man again, I assume he needs to be recycled to an extent, probably fight a tune up or 2, I wonder if he can ever be the same again, mentalitywise speaking.

 

The kids had 10 fights and people are calling for him to step up to Pulev who just fought for the HW belts! Get a grip.

Who was Wlad fighting in his 11th fight.

He needs experience, he needs to move up in levels and that takes time.

 

I agree.... But the people who are claiming that he can beat any HW in the world are just as bad.

 

You are joking,arent you!
Joshua has been matched quite toughly so far. He took out Bakhtov in his 8th??? pro fight.Very impressive IMO.Joshua is a young prospect.No need to rush him into big fights.Besides he is not pampered by his management and has beaten some decent names.

 

Joshua is 25 , Wlad was 24 when he defeated chris byrd and won WBO belt.

 

Wlad fought Biko Botowamungu in his 11th fight. Not quite a someone coming off a world title shot. Just saying.
