Yet another fight that should have never happened.
Johnson is just a mouth. Nothing more. Joshua shut it quick.
True. And the fact that the referee took the decision to let this fight go to the 2nd round was dangerous and useless. But that’s the way in the UK, isn’t? Anyway, it’s still very hard to gauge Joshua’s worth.
“The comparisons to Ali end there.” Haha, best line of the night.
Joshua should step up. Anyone ranked beneath the top 5 would be nuts to get in the ring with him. He might be ready for a run at the top right now, but why hurry?
Digest a few appetizers, move on to the main courses of Fury, Wilder and then Povetkin next year, and see if Wlad still is in the game in 2016.
para que salir en el segundo asalto?
all the blabla johnson did before the fight was for that performance lol, anyway i am glad joshua beat him
Nice and short. However, I was surprised that Joshua wasn’t able to finish the job early given the poor condition of Johnson. I guess he still needs some more exposure in the ring.
The second round wasn’t advisable.
