Anthony
Joshua retains his belts and to 20-0 with 20 knockouts, even if this was hardly
the showcase that many observers expected. Shame for the ill-timed stoppage
that left the champion in a defensive crouch from the first question of his
in-ring interview. Joshua was the deserving winner and surely would have won on
the cards, but a handful of the questions that dogged the Olympic champion into
the Klitschko fight in April will no doubt resurface after this fight.
Joshua had only boxed 55 rounds
professionally entering tonight’s bout. He’s added 10 more to that ledger and
they were didactic ones to say the least. “He’s like Holyfield,” Joshua said of
his granite-chinned foil, “coming under, popping up.” This was a difficult
puzzle for the young champion to solve and he solved it the hard way, even if
the denouement left something to be desired.
