It wasn't really a KO by pro standards. The fight was stopped after Joshua received two standing eight counts for getting wobbled by massive left hooks (not saying he wasn't badly hurt just that KO makes it sound like he was ironed out).
Instead of seeing Joshua as "chinny" I saw a geezer with a natural instinct to fight back when hurt. Same as with the Whyte knock down.
The way fighters react to getting chinned is far more important than getting chinned.
