A bit quick, guy never dropped his guard.
But mute point – outcome would be same
It’s going to be a lot more interesting when we see Joshua in with real competition. The future looks bright — as it always does when you’re beating up journeymen.
Savage combo, maybe a bit quick stoppage. I’m very impressed with Joshua’s class.
