Wow. I thought Sprott looked good and was going to provide opposition.... But Joshua is a serious and accurate puncher. The odds were only 'even' for Josh to win in round 1.
He finishes well, throws strong and quick combos.
I go back to what I posted before, if he can take a shot he's world champ no probs. there's no one really there after Wlad really..... Wilder. Possibly.... Who else?

I'm guessing its not that great
And don't seem to have realised he doesn't have one punch knockout power.
It's his chin that's my main concern. You can get away without one punch ko power if you are ultra fit, offensively brilliant and very heavy handed.
I'm not saying he is all that stuff but he could possibly end up being.

Sprott took about 3 punches too many IMO,i agree with Jim,Michael couldve been left in a crumpled heap before the ref sauntered over

No clue.
Beast of a man is Joshua. Really impressive physique, power, strength, speed, etc... Improving technique and punch selection too. I think he should be wary about dropping down to the body too much, though. No need. Exposes the head.

I just hope he's got a chin, he could be a real star.

I was surprised they bothered with it considering Joshua has been marmelising everyone. Sprott does have more offensive capabilities than someone like Bakhtov, but when he is in with a guy with power and offensive technique he is gonna get KOd early. Meaning his offensive capabilities are as good as useless.

I understand the Bruno comparisons.... However Josh is fighting far better guys than Bruno was at that stage. And his speed, accuracy, finishing and fluency are far superior. Power equal maybe.
Way superior to Bruno, unless he's chinny.

I reckon Stevens is the top dog at HW, I'd fancy him to blast out Wlad.

Fvcking hell, some of you guys must not have watched Sprott fight for about 5 years...that wasn't impressive at all, it was exactly what should have happened, Sprott is completely shot, we didn't learn a thing about AJ then.

I do want Cleverly to win, but I reckon after this fight we might be talking about whether he will retire or not.

I'm not saying he could have done any more, just saying it didn't prove anything.

Wouldn't put Joshua in that ball park personally. Better abillity maybe, but Bruno was 1 punch special.
