Tyson maybe? Did he go to the cards before Berbick?

Exciting fight, got my heartbeat going. Josh thought he was going to blast Whyte out in the first but when he got caught in the 2nd he intelligently fought a good fight. It wasnt a foregone conclusion as I thought it was going to be, got to give a big hand to Whyte he's a decent kid.

Im sure weve learned that AJ has a decent chin there didnt panic and fought it long until he came to his sences again. For a minute I was expecting a Frank bruno moment, become stiff and get knocked out.

AJ is coming along very nicely hes not a gentleman in the ring does throw some late shots but hes not the first to do so.

Can he beat Fury?? Interesting fight but I think so.

Eddie is already salivating at a rematch I reckon

Well I think Hearn will be laughing all the way to the bank. He can hype Chisora vs Joshua as a PPV now - with the hype that he is vulnerable.

At least Joshua doesn't have a boring personality. He has a far more interesting sinister personality.

Tyson went to the distance a couple of times.

He went the distance a couple of times before hand. Green and Quick Tillis.

Fair enough.

First guess off the top of my head.

Would there be much point?

'Aint gonna be no rematch'

"well Eddie what can we expect in 2016"



"Loads more PPV Ed"

I've seen Tyson-Tillis, should have known that.

Joshua isnt going places though. . . Haye or Fury beat him easiy

Nonsense, did he go down? Would you say the same about Wilder he is WBC champ and had some hairy moments in the last couple of fights?

Nonsense, Both Haye, Fury, and Joshua all beat Wilder. . .no head movement fron AJ. . . . plodding after taking 1 shot from a British level fighter. . . good finish but i dont see the heights people predict

believe the sky and matchroom hype people but hes not as good as they suggest

Joshua took a few flush shots.... We learnt something in my view.

Deontay Wilder? I know he went the distance for the title but don't think he did before hand...

Yeah thats an easy sell. . .

Whyte was KTFO with paramedic attention. . . . bt shell out 15 knicker cause hes still got a chance

Haye's got to be bringing with confidence about Joshua.

Vitali Klitschko?

Don't get me wrong, I don't like Wilder, but he has taken some shots and looked shaky but is a World Champ. I certainly wouldn't make too many judgments based on this.

WTF are the sky commentators on about? This was crap, Joshua was found out big time

Joshua did well to survive that scare in the 2nd, and that moment of exhaustion in the 3rd. Whyte was too uncoordinated, unbalanced, flailing around, he was going to collide with something sooner or later. The attempt to save himself with a DQ in the 1st was pathetic and revolting. Go back to Brixton with your postcode gang.

Does anyone see Joshua's true personality seeping through? There's the manufactured PR mask, and the yobbish street lad that keeps popping up behind it. And that imperial summoning of the promoter when he wearied of the interview was pure prima donna.

Good fight. Nice KO. Two awful young men.

Joshua is pretty average minus his phenominal power.
He'll smash up stationary targets. World level fighters who keep moving are a different story.
