Think it says more about Ngannou (and how poor Fury was last fight) than Joshua to be honest.
Interesting seeing flashes of the pre-Ruiz Joshua though, it's a shame that fight made him worried about getting hit, he doesn't fight.to his strengths anywhere near often enough.
'Are we looking at the best heavyweight on the planet?'
He got beat twice by Usyk you melt
I don't know what was wrong with him in those Usyk fights but it was like he was scared of being hit. He should have just gone all out instead of thinking that he is a great boxer that could out-box a really good boxer.

He was fighting a boxer better than him, basically.
Usyk countered him all night and left him clueless and unable to throw.

He tried to out-box a far better boxer. He was never going to beat him like that. Doesn't mean that he can't beat him. After all Dubois should have besten him.

Still a statement to spark someone who's never been dropped in a cage like that I think.

People acting like he's not used to being punched in the face for a living.
Brilliant fight between Nathan Heaney and Brad Pauls. Not sure it was a draw but Once Brad started catching Heaney he nearly snatched a win from the jaws of a defeat. The 11th round was so exciting.
Liam Davies was superb against a decent Mexican with a KO.

There were some really good fights throughout the evening. The Joe Joyce fight was the exception. He looked dreadful.

Joe Joyce after the TKO defeat against Zhang and then the KO in round 3 in the rematch has at 38, limited options now.
The fact that Joyce didn't turn pro until he was 31 tells you that it wasn't his life's ambition to be a pro boxer after his amateur career.
For a guy who had taken out Parker and Daniel Dubios, seeing Joe at 20 stone and laboured against the brave Kash Ali despite what his trainer was saying to him ! seems like the Juggernaut is on the decline but no doubt he wants one last pay day.

What Joe Joyce managed to achieve with a style that made me want to turn the TV off is remarkable. Olympian, beat 2 boxers who are firmly at the top table in world boxing and took on everyone, not close to ducking anyone and was definitely avoided. He knew his professional career had to be a steep trajectory due to his age when turning over and I hope he has earned well as he took some licks in his wins let alone eating some huge shots in the Zhang fights.
Genuinely if Joe hadn't ran into him (Zhang) he is still in the conversation at the top level purely on his horrible to figure out relentless style.

Looking at their recent performances it beggars belief that Joyce was able to beat Dubois and Parker. I doubt that he would be able to beat either of them now. Joyce was never particularly dynamic but everything about him last night was so slow and predictable.
I thought Clarke edged it too. Tremendous fight, best heavy scrap I’ve seen for a while, That Wardley is one game lad, fought virtually the whole bout with a broken nose.
Very entertaining fight and i thought it was very close. I don't see how Clarke gets knocked down, loses a point for a low blow and one judge still had him winning 115-112. He's basically scoring the rest of the fight as a Clarke masterclass which i think was far from the case.
All set up nicely for an inevitable rematch though.
Good fight, could see how it would have been scored to either man. I felt Wardley edged it with the knockdown and the point deduction however it wouldn't have been a robbery if it went to Clarke.
Out of the 2 of them I keep being impressed by Wardley, Clarke is big and has a nice jab but as a pro, not so much

Except for the guy that has already done it twice I guess
No wonder Eddie is begging Fury to win against Usyk.
After all Dubois should have besten him.
