The Joshua Tree.

[junior gong]

Who's on board? I'm nailing my colours to the mast right now and saying this guy has the lot. I was so sceptical about Joshua and thought he was a bit stiff, but he has totally changed my mind tonight. He even ate a couple of big shots and just laughed. This guy could hold all the belts, really hope it happens.

I posted about AJ when he was ABA champion and even sported his avatar then.

Been a believer from the beginning!

At the London Olympics I thought Josh only did well as he had home advantage, and he didn't impress me as a fighter, thought he was just basic with a strong punch and quite athletic. I was aware that he took up boxing late, and I thought that is exactly how he looked fighting. Any youth from a council estate who trained hard could have got to where he was at the Olympics with home advantage.

But since then he shown me he is better than I thought, and I am thinking if the Olympics wasn't in London but in korea, he might have still done well.

He looks to be the goods, and is young big and strong.

I like the part when he started to smile in there

I am sold

I think you're spot on. I wasnt sold at all, though that said I thought his win over Camerelle(a better fighter than all his pro opposition up until a few fights ago) in the Olympics was impressive. When he turned pro and four the first 5/6 fight, he had a bit too much of the Frank Bruno about him, but he seems to be moving beautifully for a guy his size. He reminded me of the younger Holyfirld tonight, and I cant give a higher compliment. I'm excited, gotta admit.

The train rolls on!

Anyone can lose in the division he's in, it's, to use a cliche, a single punch. But he's showing that not only is he a step above the faded remnants of the domestic division, he's able to dismantle them all with ease.
