Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua With Brutal Blast of Johnson in Two

[stuff jones]

O2 Arena, London - In his most toughest test to date, Olympic gold medal winner Anthony Joshua (13-0, 13KOs) sent a real statement to the heavyweight division with a second round demolition of veteran Kevin Johnson (29-6-1, 14KOs) to retain the WBC International heavyweight title.

Johnson had never been stopped in his entire career. He was hurt by a big right and dropped in the first round. Near the end of the round, he was battered down for a second time and it appeared as if the fight was being waved off but it was allowed to continue.

Most toughest? Who writes this stuff? 8 year olds? Come on, act like professionals here.

I'd say put him against a guy like Fedosov (who won the Boxcino) next; a guy that AJ can knock out but will certainly come at him and test his mettle.

Wilder vs joshua is going to be a massive fight in the future if they keep winning.

Joshua-Fury........let's see it.

Joshua looked very impressive albeit against an out-of-shape uninspired Kevin "tomato can" Johnson. It's embarrassing to Johnson that professional journey Jay Gavern put up more resistance than him.

That said, Joshua is definitely ready to step up the level of comp against some top 20 guys. Let's see him against Charr, Takam, Browne, Chambers, Wach, Price.

This man is a monster. I'm extremely excited to see what the future holds for this guy. I believe he is the future of the heavyweight division. His power is unbelievable and has it in both hands. He isn't real quick like a young Lennox Lewis but his demeanor and patience makes up for his speed. It will be an interesting future.

Nice one, that sounds like it would be pretty good - only seen Fedesov once but I like how he moved and cut off the ring, decent skills. I could see him trying to push the issue even with Joshua

Russia = Best anthem of all time.

That could be similar to this fight. Fedosov is mechanical and on the small side. If they want a cigar store Indian type then it's Wach. Really this could be like Wilder where unless you are willing to gamble a bit before Joshua gets his inevitable title shot he may never get tested until then.

We still need to know more about his chin, stamina and heart. What will happen when someone fights back and comes to win? What's his chin like? What happens when he needs to do some rounds.

Funniest line I've read today...
