Stephen A. Smith on eSPN UK: "Anthony Joshua LIED to us, he wasn't ready!"

Who cares what this numbskull has to say. He doesn't know the game and it's fighters, typical ignorant not even casual observer, who thinks there's only a handful of fighters active worldwide. Very unprofessional seeing as he's been on ESPN boxing telecasts, he should do some research. Stick to basketball clown.

Of course he wasn't. Now we know why the Deontay Wilder fight was postponed and delayed so many times last year by Matchroom Sport. It was simply because Anthony Joshua wasn't ready for Deontay Wilder at the time and still isn't.

He didn�t make one mistake that ended it. He took a sustained beating for seven rounds and got dropped 4 times. You guys are acting like it�s Lewis walking into a KO punch.

Yeah, I think the point was, Joshua going in as THAT heavy of a favorite and getting decimated the way he did (I gave him ONE round) is the real issue.

Even Tyson had the benefit of the doubt, he was winning rounds despite a GROSSLY unprepared corner, went 9 full rounds and just got clipped late. Joshua got clipped MULTIPLE times before the stoppage.

Joshua got caught by 39 lucky shots.
