The footage of his fight with Junlong showed just how poor Gavern is now. Junlong is slow and clumsy and seemed unable to miss.

Joshua is actually finding ways to not hit Gavern, should be jabbing his head off.

Is it Halling with Watt? His commentary on Joshua is embarrassing.

What the hell was Joshua doing hitting him after the bell?

Point could have come off there, more than one punch thrown well after the bell, nothing accidental about it.

Agreed, he's probably done a Haye- Harrison and bet himself to win by ko in the third.

Hitting after the bell, hitting when a foe is down...a DQ waiting to happen in the future?

To be fair you can remove the words 'on Joshua' from that sentence.

I think it's more that he couldn't hit him, not that he was trying not to. Point definitely should have come off after hitting him while he was down.

He has hit when his opponent is down before, and point blank denied it when Ed Robinson asked him after. DQ waiting to happen, but perhaps just a bit too eager in those early fights

100% agree. Boxing is so old fashioned. It badly NEEDS a Super Heavyweight Division so shite like this can be kept for the WWE ring

It did look quite blatant the punch when he was down.

Job done by Joshua but he looked a little frustrated in there,maybe a bit of ring rust and Gavern was pretty small and unorthodox

Yup, I've been saying that for years. The size gap between 2 boxers in the Heavyweight division as it stands can be ridiculous.

They keep banging on about this layoff. He boxed late November, he's been out the ring 4 months, not 4 years. Credit to Ed Robinson for pointing it out.
