    Joshua was done. He mouthed "yeah" in a non-convincing manner, and his body refused to follow the refs instructions. He was given an 8 count and ample time to respond but could not. It was a good stoppage by the ref. He actually saved Joshua from further punishment.

    I think there is a lot of truth to this, but Hearn has hinted that he was not 100%, and I actually believe it, because win or lose, you never saw him quite like that he before or since. Well done, though, on the analysis.
