Motorpoint Arena, Sheffield - 2012 heavyweight gold medal winner Anthony Joshua (2-0, 2KOs) drilled Paul Butlin (14-20, 3KOs) in two rounds. Butlin was able to survive the first round, but within seconds of the second he was decked hard by a big right hand. Butlin was badly cut, out on his feet and his corner threw in the towel a few seconds later.

In a WBO junior middleweight final eliminator, Javier Maciel (27-3, 20KOs) traveled overseas with a lot of steam in his fists, but he was unable to defeat Brian Rose (25-1-1, 7KOs), who won a twelve round split decision. The scores were 117-111 for Rose, 115-113 for Maciel and 116-113 for Rose. [Click Here To Read More]

yeah biased pics, rose was lucky for him to say he was 4 rounds up coasting is a joke his own trainer said he needed the last round.

You'd think from this bull**** photo essay that Rose dominated, not that he lost but was given a hometown decision. Embarrassing crap from boxrec.

Joshua seems very composed, it'll be interesting when he starts facing men who decide to show him no respect.
