    I think people are being hyper-critical of Joshua now just because it's standard fare these days for people on here to hope for the downfall of a hyped prospect.

    Last night, he displayed the flaws that I suspected and predicted him to have. I wanted to see him clipped on the chin and see someone take him rounds. That happened. He wobbled and looked gassed at times. Nothing I didn't expect.

    The most important thing was he came through it though and still finished the job in style so I think he deserves credit for that.

    He seemed overconfident in the 1st round but Whyte knocked the smile off his face in the 2nd. He will only learn from it.

      "He got better" or more like Dillian Whyte aka Manboobs of steel was just even worse.
      So he got second wind but his stamina is a joke? Honestly, that makes no sense.

      In the second he got pounded to the body and was visibly shaken. As he regrouped, he got back together.

      People want his stamina to be bad so they can say his frame doesn't fit boxing. I'm not saying his stamina is great, but it wasn't shown up in this fight.

        But simply trading someone like Jennings with Whyte and this would of been one hell of a sad upset.

        Too much muscle, it's gonna **** him over
        lol not a chance at all.

        You are severely underrestimating DW.

        Jennings fights nothing like DW and doesn't have his mean streak or his power.

          Don't take my criticism personal, I get you're patriotic, it's all good.

          I'm simply stating my opinion, that many of the top 10 guys would surely knock his ass out. Joshua is a big stiff overrated sac of meat with glass waiting to be shattered. The first time someone threw back against him (whyte) the first time he almost got KO'd

          He's David Price #2 gentlemen
          I can guarantee you that Price wouldn't have survived that fight.

          So no, he's not David Price.

            Maybe, Jennings is underrated.

            We'll see how he does against Ortiz

              Ok mate Whatever you say.

              He got a second wind....after looking visibly exhausted in Round 3 I wonder if he has bad stamina.

                Since Whyte has only ever lost to Joshua how is it possible to know why level he is ?

                  But what you're saying doesn't make sense. He has bad stamina, but looked better in rounds 4,5,6,7 than in 2,3 ?

                  But yeah, whatever you say.

                    On topic, Joshua just seems like a tank to me, that's all, he's not impressive boxing skills wise.
                    Then you need to watch more boxing. His counter punching is excellent.

                      It clearly makes sense. He was blowing out his arse in Round 3, got a second wind and was lucky enough to be less tired that Whyte who's stamina was even worse.

                      Both clearly have terrible stamina.
