I wonder how many punches where thrown , it did seem a lot , was it comparable to Tua v Ibeabuchi ?
It was so much better to see two young bucks throwing bombs as opposed to a guy pushing 40 who has no punch output.
I enjoyed this fight the most from the weekend (although the second half of Donaire/ Juarez was brilliant).
This was the type of fight both guys needed. Credit to Joshua for riding the rough moments and reestablishing his form from the fourth round on. I think he came out too confident. He was hurt in the second but deserves credit for being able to take the shots of another big punching heavyweight.
Whyte looked relaxed in the second letting his hands go and definitely came to win.
Both guys can progress from here.
There isn't much point in a rematch is there? It was a good fight, not a a classic, and I think Whytes moments were to few and far between to expect it wouldn't be more one sided for AJ if it happened again right away.
