Joshua 3 rounds up easy, eaaaaasy win

Think those knockdowns were tiredness as much as anything. Dan looks spent.

Dan's knackered, 2 knockdowns. 10 7 round. Buatsi cannot lose, Dan cannot stop Joshua.

its ok moaning, the rings as slippy for Joshua

Shocking knock down calls

Both looked legit, but weird knockdowns. Azeez is just fcuked.

Credit to boxing these two. Well done, lads.

JB wins handily even w/o the KDs - Dan gave his all to close the class gap, but he couldn't quite do it.

Great stuff from both.

Good fight, great heart from Dan,

Would like to have seen Buatsi go for the stoppage but he’s won this by miles.

It looked like he had him and held off right @ the end.
Fair enough, didn't go for the kill against his mate when clearly ahead.

Decided to do exercise bike for 6-12 so stopped scoring properly, but should be wide Buatsi decision. Really enjoyable fight.

Good hard fight. Not bothering the the top lads are they.

Buatsi has nothing to trouble the big lads though. Honestly think yarde would tear him a new one.

brilliant last round. Credit to both warriors. Joshua could have danced the last round, but he chose to fight. And dominated Dan and nearly, so nearly, stopped him. Dan needs testing as he possibly has 2, or even 3, hearts. Both deserve praise. But Joshua closed the show as he did most of the fight as a clear winner. I loved the embrace at the end, dignity and respect personified.

Well done to both. Buatsi shuts up all doubters and moves onto a world title fight, whenever the WBA see fit. Let's hope it is not too forlorn or long a wait.

There are plenty of options for Dan as the loser, who despite the outcome comes out of this dust up with an enhanced pugilistic testimony.

Judges had it a round or two closer than me, but UD Buatsi w/o the KDs.

No, but the top lads are Beterbiev and Bivol !

If they were cruisers or MWs they would.

Well I think we should find out - an obvious cracker...

Good fight. Azeez put up a god fight but Buatsi finished very well. A rematch down the line would be good. Winner should be trying to face Beterbiev/Bivol winner while the loser should be looking at Johnson or Yarde.

Would love to see it.

lovely in ring interview from Joshua, what a decent human being giving praise to Dan

Very respectful lads. Nice to see.

No need for a rematch, pretty convincing win for JB .

You'd fancy buatsi? Cant see it like. Way too placid. Very little improvement for many a year.
