How problematic will the questions posed to Joshua be tonight?

Fair dues to Bakhtov. Got nailed but was still firing back. Big 10-9 for Joushua though.

Bahktov's face already a mangled mess.

Hype train is gonna be in total overdrive now lol

Fvck me, what the hell was IJL doing....stop...not stop...stop....

How can the ref stop start it like that ?

Doesn't look like any questions will be posed. Dominant first round. Sky minions go into overdrive with the hyperbole.

Nice early stoppage again. Joshua is not the beast they make him out to be.

Excellent from Joshua, faultless.

At some point though they are going to have to let him fight someone his own size.

Bigger hitter.... Joshua or Price?

Was a standing 8 count an option?

Price for me I think.

Better he be allowed to change his mind than realise he's made a mistake but pretend he didn't! Still was probably a bit early, Bakhtov was blocking most of the shots.

Last week's show was better.

Price for me.

Good question. The important question is better chin.... Joshua or Price?

I'd say Price at this point. I think he has legitimate one punch power while Joshua is more of a clubber.

Joshua's hasnt been tested so far. Going on their amateur careers though, it's gotta be Joshua.

Get a durable guy
Get Ian John Lewis as a ref
Durable guy gets stopped early
Hype train goes into over-drive

Yeah I tend to agree with that statement.

Good display. Where do they go with him next? Like everyone else I'd like to see his chin tested and how he reacts when someone can take his shots.

Bakhtov was a good opponent for this stage but he isn't really as durable as he's made out to be. He's been dropped, hurt, and/or stopped many times.

Have to admit I was willing Bakhtov to land at least one big shot so that we could at least learn one thing from the fight. Aint gonna blame Joshua for knocking him out before he could though :)

Can't see it in a million years anytime soon but would love to see Price v Joshua. Price would be mental to take it though IMO.

Bahktov looked relieved that the fight was stopped mate. Even the shots he was blocking were knocking his head back.

Also agree price is probably a bigger one punch hitter but Joshua hits plenty hard enough and is a better combination puncher. He seems a really nice guy but inside the ring he's one scary dude. His smile in the ring has a sadastic feel to it: I like it!
