Anthony Joshua gets stopped by Mihai Nistor

[La Cucaracha]

Big shots and definitely hurt, but that's the amateur game. Get caught with a couple of shots and they'll stop it.

Who knows, it's an amateur fight and I don't think he showed a bad chin there or anything. Was definitely rocked before each count but they were good left hooks, and that would never be a stoppage in the pros. Plus, for a big man with his frame 22 can still be very young in physical terms, Lennox Lewis fought like a newborn Giraffe at that age, hard to tell.

[Vendettos]

I do not read much into amateur results.

Mike Tyson is a fine example, Tillman beat him multiple times in the amateurs yet he was destroyed by Mike in the pros.

Tam I would not put much stead, on that fight Joshua is a different fighter now to then mate,
I would fancy Joshua to KO Nistor, in a proper maner this moment in time.

A lot of amateurs don't deal well with pressure. Thing that stood out to me was that Joshua was not using his Jab aggressively as part of his offense and defense. Nistor made it his fight and the kid tried to bang with him here or there just to get some breathing room rather that using his distance, ring generalship and clinching to slow down the pace of the fight. I haven't followed Joshua after that but if hes made his jab a better part of his arsenal and polished his footwork and learned to clinch. He should be fine. Just the trial by fire of a fighter. Its better that it happened to him early, rather than him being spoonfed in a gym till he's 23 and then getting thrown to the wolves and becoming a professional opponent.
