Your thoughts on Joshua.

[VG_Addict]

What did you think about Anthony Joshua's first pro fight? What did he do well, and what does he need to work on?

Well, upon review of Lennox Lewis's debut and Riddick Bowe's debut he had a better debut and with a little better opposition, record wise at least.

There is some upside in him. He looks in great shape.

[Bo-Bo24]

Physically he looks great but its impossible to tell from a first pro fight. I wasn't too convinced about him in the Olympics so we'll only know for sure when he steps up a few levels

[Memphis]

He faced an unbeaten fighter on debut so using @ross logic he's better than Wlad Vitali Haye Wilder and Fury

[Mctaggert]

Tell you what I'd love to see Hughie Fury vs Joshua at some point.

[Dean Duke]

Looked in good shape, chin held a bit high very good 1st outing.

[Fenster]

I thought he looked terrific. He's the new David Price. Fact.

[imp]

The cuban beat him.

I also wasn't impressed at the olympics, and was looking forward to his first pro fight. The build up etc fair game, and allegedly the opponent was 8-0. I'm not sure I've seen anybody as flabby and unfit as the 8-0 merchant. Would rather have seen him against the usual genuine workhorses to get a feel for how he's adapted to being a pro - jury still out.

Of course the jury is still out, it's his first pro fight for fucks sake! Of course they picked an opponent who wasn't going to win, but who wouldn't fold the first time he got hit. D'uh.

I thought Joshua looked ok. He was quite different to his last few amateur bouts, especially physically .... He was a lot bigger and he had obviously been bulking up. I thought his legs were always too small when he was an amateur (both for proper punching and for absorbing a shot) but he'd obviously worked on them.

I thought he was a bit brunoesque ..... Muscle bound guy, whacked out some overmatched guy. He didn't have Bruno's amazing power, but he had much more boxing skill and patience.

Good start, good boxer, good power, good finisher - I'm interested in seeing his stamina and chin over his next twenty fights. It'll be fun to watch

[GAME]

He looked the goods. Yes he could turn out out to be the new David price or Bruno cuz he seems a little muscle bound as if he would gas after a few rounds. I'd prefer him to get a more athletic body type and loosen up but impressive debut. Fast hands, killer instinct and I'd be shocked if he went audleys way

[ross]

Dont put Price in the same category as Bruno.

[Kirkland Laing]

Too early to tell yet. He could eventually achieve the level of a Lewis or a Harrison or he could be a complete failure.

[El Kabong]

What about the holding and hitting?


You lot do know that's AGAINST THE RULES

[jon09]

Decent jab, fast hands and a good 1 2 puncher. Not a bad start against an 8-0 fighter. I can see a fight between him and Hughie down the road also.
