Should have been stopped after the first knock down, Josh was not in a state to carry on.There was no belt on the line. Fair play to him he did, The mexican deserved his win he has an amazing left hand and is a hard guy. Also he has fought 4 times this year josh has been out of the ring for a long time, no excuses the best guy on the night won.
Horrible for boxing. A completely unnecessary beating. The Sky commentary was a disgrace as well. List of all possible excuses with little credit to a limited but tough and very heavy handed Mexican who just knew Josh didnt punch hard enough to trouble him and was happy to take one to land one. Listening to Hearn going on about a rematch clause. This isnt Joshua v the fat mexican where he could use his physical attributes to keep at distance. So much more talent in the lower weight divisions. Josh has done well to achieve what he has and should walk away with his health. In reality he wasnt the divisions number 1. All that will lay ahead with any decent opposition will be more hard fights. Walk away from it Josh youve done well but there are better out there than Lara.
