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

[kiaba360]

ideally yeah it would be teper for the european title then fight fury for the world title with a thompson/takam before or inbetween.

no chance tho, look to see hearn put AJ in with maurice harris next

He should defend his British title against Chisora, then go after Teper/Helenius in May.

Whyte is really unsportsmanlike, and a bad loser.

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

Ha, me too. I b*tched and moaned for ages, swore I wouldn't buy it, then eventually folded and bought it this evening. Really I glad I did, belting night's entertainment.

Headline fight was a barnstormer, everyone getting on AJ's back need to calm down, it was a tough learning fight and will prove invaluable as he goes forward.

I bought the PPV, but it was for the Eubank fight.

The rest of the card being so good made it a decent decision. Still shouldn't have been PPV, but it was value for money in the end.

Joshua got exposed a bit , joseph parker would ko him, to fast with explosive crisp punches and parkers chin at this stage seems way more sturdy.

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

He didn't gas. DW is one hellacious body puncher.

That was a real heavyweight fight, I bet Jonathon Banks wishes he could get that much fight out of Wlad Klitschko. Joshua looks like a future king to me. His fight with Fury could be amazing, it could potentially be the biggest moment of vindication for the British boxing scene, which is looking very promising. The 0-2 looked electric and I’m hard pressed to think of a place in the world where this level of a card gets a better audience.

With that being said, I really cannot see how we can extrapolate a victory over Whyte to being able to beat Tyson Fury or Deontay Wilder. There’s no need to rush him, he clearly needs a bit more experience before stepping up to a world class level.

[alexguiness]

I agree.

He's a guy with 15 fights, people need to keep that in mind. Haye is the worst style for him, quick, counters and power, but he's not ready for that.

Prime Haye is accurate and explosive, I think he could beat Joshua.

Joshua did well to come through that last night, but to me it looked like he does panic a bit when he gets hit. He freezes and stiffness up.

Whyte actually impressed me, he's tough and fearless.

[Skip Bayless]

I became aj fan last night. Haters need to chill out, this guy is the future of the division

Whyte is really unsportsmanlike, and a bad loser.

Thats a real shame...he diminished so much of what he accomplished with his effort when he chose that route.
