Agreed. It was awful

Joshua looked awful to me. His feet looked slow, his weight was heavier than he wanted, and he was breathing heavy from his mouth midway thru the 5th round. I'm not sold on him at all yet

I would pick Wilder if they were to meet next, but who knows. Stiverne has a puncher's chance; got to get past him first. Wilder and AJ each have their flaws, but AJ tires a little too soon and gets hit a bit too easy for my liking

Joshua looked somewhat not conditioned. We have to take in account he got comfortable in-between opponents. The referee seem to be trying to help Anthony Joshua anytime he could, not say he was losing but this is boxing and heavyweights!

A fit, well-trained Joshua beats Wilder, with ease. Joshua has far more dimension and nuance than Wilder, who is incredibly clumsy other than his monstrous right hand.

Joshua wins a wide decision over Wilder if he can avoid Wilder's right hand. With Wilder's clumsy footwork and one-dimensional offense, any competent trainer should be able to keep Joshua away from Wilder's sledgehammer right.
