    Takam ate Joshua's best shots and was barely bothered

    The knockdown was more of a balance issue and this was just after the cut, and he bounced straight up not hurt at all.

    The reff was desperately trying to find an excuse to stop it all fight long, couldnt find one and just stopped it anyway.

    Let's be honest its corruption pure and simple, Eddie Hearn pays off the judges and the reff's.

              Aj never really clocked him with a flush 100% shot, partly down to good defence on takams part but also a case of aj being so slow

                Takam's chin got cracked by Povetkin and he's old and shot.

                Takam is also much smaller than Joshua. He's just another cruiserweight-ish HW.

                If Joshua had this out of this world power that some people made it out to be he would have have knocked out Takam or at least knocked him down several times.

                Let's face it, a prime Klitschko would obliterate this version of Takam with his jab and probably (legitimately) stop him late. Prime David Haye would probably "Mormeck" him eventually. Wilder would knock Takam out cold if he connected a solid shot.

                Joshua just doesn't seem to have this power that they hyped him to have. He's just a solid large fighter but not a special talent.

                The up and coming super-heavyweights like Hrgović who are as tall and as big as him and can take a punch are going to give him a lot of trouble in the future. He definitely won't reign for 10 years like Klitschko did.

                  Takam spent very little of the fight actually engaging Joshua. It's easier to survive and do rounds when you're committed largely to being defensive.
