I know he shew grit & heart in Klitschko fight, and Klitschko fought very well, but Klitschko was still getting on..
AJ is reigning b/c the talent pool in the HW div is jank
That's the only reason
Agree.
If Tyson Fury could get his shit together...

Takam stopped by the referee, not by Joshua, like so many away fighters. I fgcking hate how corrupt British boxing has become. Takam denied the dignity of going the distance.

I think the reason every reigning boxer has reigned is because they are better than the rest of the division.....

He was moving his head, and defending himself. Ridiculous.

Tough scrap for AJ that. Not sure if thats improved him or not, could well be his nose had something to do with it. But im glad its over.
Im still on the AJ train.

Slowing, but he was close to actually earning a stoppage. It’s ruined it for Joshua as much as he has for Takam.

It wasn't looking like Joshua was gonna stop him at all. I think Takam was gonna last the distance, and by all rights should've been able to. He wasn't taking excessive punishment.

Poor stoppage, if he can ignore all the cuts then stop it for a few punches that didn't seem to be that troubling. I wonder if that was an off night with the change of opponent for AJ or is he not as good as the hype ?

Every time I watch AJ I'm more convinced Fury would have absolutely played with him.

Please please please have a neutral referee for these fights
