Comments Thread For: Joshua Survives Early Scare To KO Whyte in Seven

Not the prettiest, but this was a good developmental fight. Joshua showed he could weather a storm and keep throwing hard. I'll pick him over Wilder and probably Fury aswell.

Johsua's surviving that counter was impressive. Almost like Floyd-Mosley in the 2nd. His legs buckled a bit but he composed himself and kept punching back.

This guy is a phenom, but clearly he needs more work. He is not a finished product yet.

Yes! Entertaining fight, excellent win for Joshua!

Anthony Joshua I was impressed with his body punching.That was a great uppercut knockout

[diarraisagod]

What a brutal KO.

Hopefully tonight makes people realise we need to stop rushing these guys up. Joshua needs a couple more at that level before rushing into fighting the top 5.

Chisora next would be perfect.

Joshua needs to drop weight. He looked nearly done in the 3-5. Either Fury or Wilder would eat him alive right now. Needs a lot of work

[Lou Cipher]

Juice-ua needs a lot of work and his chin sucks. With a lot of hard work he could be the next Audley Harrison

[PivotandRoll]

Still feel Dillian is the better fighter and he took Joshua a bit light and the size will always be a huge advantage for Joshua but Anthony proved himself a great prospect tonight...I expected him to fold

Good recovery and a devastating knockout to end it.

He could have ended it in 2 if not for the mini brawl that gave a wobbled Whyte extra minutes to recover. However, the fact that it didn't end and the things that he learned, it's better that it happened.

Joshua has some flaws that he has to work on but it was his 15th professional fight. Dont forget how bad Wilder and Fury looked in their 15 fight and what kind of opposition they fought. This fight was a needed experience for Joshua.
