Comments Thread For: Joshua, Quigg vs. Salinas Early Results From O2

Joshua is ripped! Looks in phenomenal condition. 6'6 16 stone 6lbs. Hits hard and looked very aggressive!

I agree with Phatcat, he needs to keep his chin down and be a little less open but the finish was vicious. Looking forward to his 'journey', I hope he makes it big, he seems like a real good dude as well, head on his shoulders.

If anyone hasn't seen his interviews on youtube with ifilmlondon you should check them out.

Meh, he has decent hand speed but with that added bulk he's pretty flat footed. I think he'll struggle against guys with good lateral movement. Looks more of a Frank Bruno then Lennon Lewis

I don't know either of you, but your dialogue is really entertaining for some reason.

Regarding Joshua, chiseled, fast hands, great looking prospect, looked very composed for the first time, even if you add his amateur background...seems like a nice man

It looks like the heavies might have another golden era, oRir at least something like the 90s - at least in a few years, with Joshua, Wilder (I was born in Birmingham but live just across the border from Detroit and an exciting American heavyweight can only help the sport). Jennings, a possibly trim Arreola, Pulev, Fury, Malik Scott maybe Haye if hed fight more often, outside of the K bros, there aren't many heavies that Haye wouldn't be able to beat.....

I have a question - What do either of you (or anyone else reading) know about Richard Towers, British heavy...prospect? Having gotten around to checking out youtube for any of his fights

A Frank Bruno in this Era would be the king when the Klitschkos are gone.
I think he looked verry good.

pretty much. It was not an insult but a reality check. Frank never got the respect he deserved, the average NSB moron wouldn't know that Frank was actually out boxing Lewis until Lewis exploded. If only Frank knew how to tie people up. I would actually make a case for Frank being able to beat the Klitschko's, he could catch Wlad and out box Vitali.

Not worth it.
