Q2 Arena London: Joshua vs Whyte, Bellow, Eubank, Mitchell, Malignaggi discussion

[billeau2]

props to whyte, he showed a HELL of a chin.

his best chance was round 2, one more big punch and AJ was DONE.

props to AJ also, he didnt gass and that uppercut was STUNNING.

best heavyweight fight in ages

Yes indeed!!! I was more impressed with Whyte! Dudes got nothing to be ashamed of. Banks does a great job with him. Joshua has enough power to cruise and he did tonight. Time will tell how far he can go...But Whyte has the heart of a lion, if he improves and works at it he might yet surpase Joshua. I don't see much technique from Joshua. I can't see where he gets past the top tier guys yet, but who knows... And who cares, GREAT fight!!

ha ha David Haye licking his lips at fighting Joshua lol. Haye thinks he has that one in the bag.

[Outworn]

I think AJ need some more experience before facing Haye. Get some more rounds. Maybe with someone like Chisora then on with the blockbuster with Haye.


AJ/Haye will be awesome!!

[NEETzsche]

chisora vs either of them in the first half of next year would be cool

I see it differently... I think Joshua gassed first, Whyte then gassed, Joshua then got a 2nd wind in the 4th and maintained that until the finish.

Jousha gassed a bit first, but Dillian went from 100 to 0 real quick.

All that fat was bound to work against him, needs to improve his fitness.

Jousha needs to work on his jab, a guy that big should not be gettin out jabbed by smaller man

Nope, Whyte gassed, Jousha also slowed, but it was Whyte who gassed first

Over time i think Banks will improve Whytes fitness, he's carrying a lot of fat.

Jousha is a big unit, very stiff and he can be hurt. He also was beat to the jab by a smaller man.

Remember though, he's early in his career. We seen Fury lose to John McDermott early in his, Wlad knocked out early in his...

Joshua is on a good path and he will learn a lot from tonight which is what he needs on the way up.

To be fair, and ive moaned about this being PPV for months, this ended up being a cracking night of fights.

Check my quote somewhere. I said it will be.

I have seen the man live and every punch is a crack.

Believe me, Joshua makes exciting fights simply because he punches make you go wow.

[FrankieClutch]

To be fair, he could have ended that fight in 2 if not for the brawl after round 1.

That gave a wobbled Whyte an extra 2-3 minutes to recover.

That's very true, but to your point even with the extra 2-3 minutes, Joshua could've ended it. The point I was making was that he was neglecting the fact that Whyte could actually punch him back and going all out for the KO. He's gotta be smarter than that in the future

pretty sure they're lying about joshua's reach. whyte's arms looked longer to me

Firstly, when AJ relaxed he did a lot better. After that 'brawl', he lost his emotions and got hurt.

When he relaxed, he timed things and did much better

Absolutely correct imo. I think that a good reason Whyte gassed was that he was scared and burning that adrenaline. if he learns to chill and trust his distance, work on his head movement, and yes, get his fitness up, I think Whyte might actually go farther.
