    Anthony Joshua showed much in his victory there

    Against Matt Legg. Joshua got caught with a couple of shots because Legg was throwing bombs from the off and he took them well. He certainly doesn't appear to have a glass chin.

    Obviously he is learning now, and Legg is not an awesome opponent, but Joshua showed power in taking Legg out with 1 punch. The single right uppercut put Legg down for the 10 count.

    Joshua is ticking off all the boxes so far and is looking very good as of now. His sculpted frame doesn't hurt either. (i'm looking at you Arreola, Fury, Chisora.)

    It was a bit worrying how easy he was to hit but passed the test. Onwards and upwards

      Well Legg came out very aggressive so he was bound to land a few. Joshua never encountered this before so it's good he has seen it, he will know how to deal with it better in the future.

        That was a bad showing there. Legg is nowhere near the fighter he looked to be today, Joshua needs to tighten up his defense!

              It was on Sky Sports 1, not Sky Sports Box Office which is where the main event will be.

              I think they wanted Joshua on the freeview so more people could see him even if they didn't buy the PPV.

                Yea, not really convinced with Joshua. Felt like he's bulked up a bit too much since turning professional. We'll have to see how he does when he goes past the 8th round.

                    Love Joshua Potential and I think he will be a Superstar...BUT you can't just want through punches just to get off your power. Need better head movement and I am sure against better fighters he will fight smarter

                    Slip Punches as well don't just put your hands up and try to cover standing right in front of your opponents.

                    But he is early in his career so he is still growing and still learning
