How did Mitchell get on ?
Stopped in 5.
Surely that's the end of the road for Kevin Mitchell. As for Joshua, we have at least now seen him take a punch. His next opponent will be interesting, as I don't think he is ready for the likes of Fury yet. Was it a coincidence that Chisora was on the bill (even though he was a replacement)?

Chisora would be a step back. He could do with someone like Tony Thompson or Malik Scott.
Roy Jones was over the hill about 12 years ago, it's terribly sad to se boxers who can't move on.
Why is Roy Jones still fighting? He has/had nothing to prove but now he's fighting and getting hurt by nobodies. That KO is sickening, he's completely lights out. Is he skint?

Agree Dave, but I'm sure Eddie Hearn was bricking it at times last night and won't want a similar experience in the next fight. I was listening to David Haye on Five Live on the way to the game and he was saying that Chisora would be a good next opponent for Joshua. He was also saying that he would like to fight Joshua after that, so perhaps he had an agenda.
Without doubt Haye would love to fight Joshua. There's an interesting timeline developing now; Fury beats Klitschko again then has a straightforward voluntary. Joshua and Haye meet some time next year. Winner fights Fury at a stadium in 2017.

Would be great for British boxing if that scenario developed. Not sure if Fury would entertain giving Haye a shot though after what happened previously.
After last week's excitement, tonight has more of a trade show feel to it.

Yep it would have to go some to top last week.
Interesting rather than exciting, this one.
Really good fight I thought. Billy Joe too slick, too good for Lee to take risks before the last few minutes of the fight.
Also showed his power is nothing to be sniffed at.
An impressive display.
For me a strong guy with a great engine and a good chin needs to jump on him like Eubank did in the second half of their fight. He's too good at range.

Let's see Haye fight someone with a pulse after 3 years out first. He'll be looking to talk his way into a big purse. As he always has at heavyweight.
Billy Joe will struggle against a fighter who moves his head more.Lee reminded me of a clothes prop at times last night.
