Joshua will have learned a heck of a lot tonight.

I think what is most surprising is how poor Whytes right hand was. AJ was gassing in the 3rd and a decent fighter would have probably got him out of there. Fury would box his ears off.
Re: Wilder - Stiverne a much best test than Whyte but Wilder had 30 odd fights by then.

He's not as bad as you suggest too. Whyte is above British level.gazza8 wrote: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 predictBatley18 wrote: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?gazza8 wrote:Good win. . . big finish
Joshua isnt going places though. . . Haye or Fury beat him easiy
believe the sky and matchroom hype people but hes not as good as they suggest

I think the needle between him and Whyte has brought something out in him, possible his real self. I think he could have finished it in 1 if he wanted to there, but he was a bit arrogant and wanted to keep it going.Tuan_Jim wrote: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.

Whyte's best chance was the third round but he just wasn't seasoned enough to keep the pressure on.

Fun guy to watch but devoid of charisma, just this generic 'street' personality, and a little grabbag of forced PR 'nice guy' soundbytes.

Agree. The double analyst thing didnt work, but it did show Watt up as drivelling some load of pish versus some well thought through analysis from Malignaggi.Batley18 wrote:I hope Paulie retires soon and works for Sky full time. Love the guy.

Surprised anyone takes it seriously today to be honest. Amazing that a few good fighters holding it in the contemporary era has led to the old fights being somehow 'legitimised'. I guess Herbie Hide vs clubfighter Damon Reed and journeyman Willi Fischer now enters the history of the world heavyweight title?

Lennox Lewis was clowned by cruiserweight Ossie Ocasio and was made to look bad against
Jean Maurice Chanet also. Fighters improve as the opposition improves.
Dillian Whyte is a good fighter. He was always going to pose problems but Whyte putting
up a battle is no negative reflection on Joshua.
