I'm going to have to see more of Anthony Joshua before I can really develop an informed opinion about him. He is a very promising undefeated boxer at heavyweight, and now he holds some sort of belt. Who can follow these days?
I don't like that bullshit smilling bit he did after he pulverized Wladmir Klitschko though. Poor sport, goofy in my opinion. My rule of thumb: don't do that. Have some grace
Remember this: Tyson Fury is the heavyweight champion. Not Joshua. Not Klitschko. Fury won this distinction about a year ago when he beat the previous champion - who was Wladmir Klitschko. You don't win the championship by beating the guy the champion already beat for the belt. That's like stealing from a guy who was already robbed.
Then again, I guess the WBO/IBF/WBA/whatever has their own agendas and their own rules.
Hey, it was an excellent heavyweight fight. Kind of rarity it seems like these days, when it was once the norm. Klitschko fought valiantly and Joshua proved quite the fighter.
Perhaps down the road Joshua can challenge Fury for the ultimate crown, or maybe he will fight American titlist Deontay Wilder.
Good stuff.
don't get hung up too much on that marquesbury crown (what ever they call it from bare knuckle times........). We do need to respect the goverance. JUST..... the groups make rules for a reason. Not weighing the Fury take away here; & I don't
Why does it have to be adrenaline? Why can't he just be overjoyed to win a fight in his home town in front of 90k people?
It's reached a point where people were even making fun of AJ and Wlad for being too nice.
You don't think that was maybe a smile of relief? Maybe even some nervous energy? And even if it was a slight moment of mocking, who cares. The mind set of a high level fighter might need you to go into dark places to survive.
And once again I ask, what's wrong with that?
So were murderous punches. Ok to hit people in the face with deadly giant weapons...but you draw the line at smiling at them. That's ass backwards.
You must of missed the thread where people were claiming that boxers don't like to hurt people and most boxers cry in shame after they knockout their opponent. If not they have mental issues and are psychotic sociopaths...LMAO and there were several posters who felt that way. They felt the only acceptable action after a huge knockout is to get on your knees and pray over the concussed fighter body. Pretend like that wasn't your goal to KO him...So I'm not surprised in the least bit. Makes 0 sense to me.
