Joshua upsets the savages
It was in the end a fine lesson in the sweet science of heavyweight boxing from Anthony Joshua in front of another 70,000 people on Saturday night at the Principality Stadium.
Joshua used his left hand in a dozen different ways to hit, tame and hurt Joseph Parker and at the final bell, the first time Joshua had heard that chime of relief as a professional, his left hand was raised in victory. Joshua now owns the IBF, WBA, IBO and the WBO belts – the last one changed hands in the ring, Parker losing it and his unbeaten record in a fight that was even more tactical and technical than expected. It is nice to see a heavyweight risk-taker like Joshua fight to a strict punch-by-punch agenda.
There were some that complained, insisting that both looked reluctant to get hit and each somehow settling for a safety-first distance fight. However, it is hard to stage-manage men with the finishing power of Joshua and Parker; Joshua used his boxing brain, Parker needed to take a risk after about six rounds, but that is easy to say from row three and even easier to say from the highest seat in the sweeping stand, where it seems communication with a passing satellite would be easier than shouting at two men in a distant boxing ring.
