Originally posted by Clegg View PostHis offensive talents are clear to see but he really needs to develop his jab. Fury and Wilder have the jab and reach that Joshua looks nowhere near ready for. Even against Haye he is not going to be able to lead with big power shots without getting countered hard. Stop lifting weights, start moving your head seems a good way to go also.
Still early days but there was discussion about whether or not he was ready for a big step up in class, it doesn't seem so, Chisora and Duhaupas would be good targets for the next 6 months.
I think in 2nd or 3rd fight from now I 'd like to see Joshua in with Stiverne - that'd be a bigger test than Chisora.

What was more concerning was his lack of head and foot movement.
Overall a good win for him though and he can get back in the gym and work on what he did wrong.

Juice-ua has a date with his own methane on the canvas. That bad chin and bad defense is gonna cost him big at the moment of truth.

Just saw it now. Damn the finish was scary man. Dillian wasn't looking good.
Throughout the fight, I thought it was an even boxing match. Whyte is as tough as they come.
Notice how few clinches there were. I counted 1 I think. That's how real men should fight.

Joshua scored a brutal ko with that uppercut. Lots of power, but what is of concern is not so much that he got hurt briefly in rnd 2, but that he looked really slow with hand speed and footwork. Perhaps he uses too much heavy weights n does reps slowly. He doesn't need any more weights. He needs to get faster and looser.

Entertaining fight. Whyte seemed to tire badly as fight went on. His balance wasn't too good and he started standing straight up. Good learning exprience for AJ.
Watching the HW division always reminds me of Mike Tyson. The young Tyson was truly a force of nature. I think Mike won the title when he was 20. Man, he was fun to watch.
