Anthony Joshua.

Post by VG_Addict »

How did he look last night?

Did he show any improvements, as a result of sparring with Wlad?

I didn't see the fight but all accounts say that Anthony was impressive.

im very excited about joshua, but he seem similar to Pricey!!!

it all depends when boxers step up

believe it or now, puritty was wladimir main step up, and look what happened!!!1

its important to understand AJ will lose some point, but is very young to have a long career unlike pricey

i suppose i meant they way he was teeing off on people as expected. like pricey powered through dallas, sexton, skelton and audley.

i think after bakhton, rudenko would be good opponent, he took browne 12 rounds

Klitschko sparring looks to have worked.
He looked a little more confident, even spiteful when he threw combos, came in a little lighter and for me looked a little faster too.
The future's bright.

Airich was a stiff.

as for Boytsov next? its a good experienced name but he's way passed it and will go inside 3 for sure.

joshua is better than charr, arreola, leapai etc
that doesn't mean he should face povetkin or klitschko

let him take his time, build his reputation and financial career in a very short and dangerous career.

Pretty dominate & decisive rise thus far for the kid. 8-0, has stopped everyone in 3 or less rounds & ranked among the top 40 (on boxrec anyway). He's gonna be interesting to watch. I'd like to see him vs David Price in the next 3-6 months or @ least that kinda guy (ex-prospect @ this point who's taken a respectable L or two but is winning right now).

He is my favorite prospect in boxing alongside Oleksandr Usyk. He is extremely gifted physically, but the main thing is that he really wants to learn and has ability for learning.

Maybe it's just me, but his jab looked even better. He also seemed to be better at picking his shots, and was more accurate. He still threw a couple of wild punches,, though.

Good prospect. Look forward to him taking on some better competition. I hope the UK doesn't move him up to fast like they did Price.

I would give him Lucas Browne now. Stop messing about and get him in with someone who is going to make him think and challenge him physically and mentally.

I reckon matching AJ must be pretty tough; getting the balance right between someone who will make him work/give him rounds but at the same time not be too good for an 8 fight novice. He does need to fight someone who will stick around but throw him in with someone too good and the wheels could fall off the bus as they did with Price.

His opponent was poor, but it`s a bit harsh to label him as straight out of hospital.

his opponent was not worse then any of his prior opponents, but time will show what Joshua is really made of, once he picks up in opposition level.

Some on here might not get your humor. The play on the typo "patients" by referring to his opponent coming straight out of the hospital, LOL. English is probably not his first language. Give him some patience.

Anthony impressively annihilated Bakhtov inside 2. It looks like we have a real talent in HW division !

He is the best heavyweight already. All his fights are going to be easy for a while.
