The first knockdown was a belter of a shot, right on his chin.

Bookies were right. Martin is a bum. Didn't want to know.  Fair play to AJ.

Hopefully we'll find out in 6 months.

I hope Joshua batters the crap out of him.

Fury will dodge Joshua for all he's worth, he knows he would get battered.

Agree - Fury is a big hard hitting lumbering oaf. But does have a boxing brain when it matters.

Joshua is a fantastic athlete who can box smart and bang hard as long as he keeps focused

The thing with Joshua is he has very quick hands (both in action and in spotting chances) compared to most heavyweights.  Given that if you let any decent heavyweight catch you on the chin you're going down having someone who picks gaps as well as him means he's always a good bet to KO someone in the first 3-4.  After that it all becomes a bit more difficult to predict because it's uncharted territory but if you put an undefeated world champion on his arse twice in the 2nd round you're over the 'he's not fought anyone' hump and you have to be looked at as the real deal.

I don't want him to fight Haye, AJ gets nothing from that fight right now, Wilder, Ortiz or Fury should be the ones he's looking at.  I'm ignoring Klitschko because I don't think that fight will happen because Klitschko gets nothing from it.

I doubt fury will beat Klitschko in the rematch. its set up for Klitchsko v Joshua which is just a bit early for him. joshua could be a very good champion for a very long time. I worry about kids becoming world champions though as they rarely stay there.
