Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua on Rumors He Was Knocked Out in Sparring

You think?

He's only been rocked once and he stiffened up for about 2 rounds a la Frank Bruno. I didn't think the signs looked good to be honest. Whyte just didn't have the experience or killer instinct to finish him. He didn't pick his shots better.

If a good finisher like Haye had him hurt like Whyte did, i'd bet Joshua wouldn't have made it out of the round.

Definitely agree with you here. Like someone else pointed out anyone can hurt anyone at HW.

Even Zuri Lawrence?

"It was intentional, I wanted to see what it's like to get ko'd"

He already knew that from the amateurs.

Chisora vs Whyte was a prime example of big guys being able to hurt each other only these two couldn't put two successive punches together to finish the job.

Maybe not lol, are you Zuri by any chance?

Joshua : "Man, thats different . I let him knock me out".

Is this a mind game?
Any takers for that?

I'm betting inactivity and age on Wlad are the big equalizer.

A lot of you "kids" don't know about age. Wait until you are even 35 years old and you will see there is decline compared to 28. Don't even think that at 41 yrs old there is no decline compared to 38 and 35.

Or by watching your boy Deontay get knocked out in the ams by a little polish man

Despite his carefully managed career, there's no reason to hate Joshua.
He's honest and seems to be a good guy, Tyson, Leonard, Ali, etc...all of them have stories of them being beaten or knocked out and down in sparring.
