Never recovered from that shot he took to the head

He did handle himself very classy after that L tho

Even when dealing with the British media those mfers had smart ass questions that he took like a man

Didn't run and answered all of em like a man even when I thought they was being disrespectful

White ppl so funny lol

They just announced that Joshua is exercising his immediate rematch clause for November or December.
I honestly think he should take some time off and regroup.
That’s probably too soon to go back in there after getting stopped like that.
His confidence is shattered right now.
Take a long break, re-focus, then come back.

If he loses twice in a row to Andy Ruiz he's done!

He couldn't handle the pressure the first time when his whole career wasn't on the line. It is now. Can he get all his belts back and get back in line for a Wilder fight in one night?

yeah if Thurman loses to Manny he's really washed/damaged. He's 10 yrs younger, taller, longer reach, bigger.

Fight was really entertaining. People learned the difference between being in shape vs being in fighting condition.
Shit was amazing to see. Joshua aint ready for that rematch just yet.

Has more to do with Pac than Thurman

Don't think Thurman would beat Spence or Crawford but yes I think we'd beat an old ass Pacman
I wouldn’t be surprised if he won. He should win. Honestly I just don’t fuck with Thurman at all. Never seen such a hoe ass champ.

Yeah I can see that depending on who he fights next, now that he's at 175 there's a lot of killers there, can't see him beating any of the 4 Eastern Euro belt holders or Marcus Browne and maybe few others

I'm gonna say it's Zurdo...Never been a fan of his.

Meldrick Taylor Facing Charges After Armed Standoff With Police

According to NBC News, former world champion and Olympic gold medalist Meldrick Taylor is being charged for his alleged role in an armed standoff with Philadelphia police.

According to the local police, officers responded to a North Philadelphia property late Monday night after a 26-year-old man claimed hat Taylor pulled a revolver on him while trying to evict the man from a first-floor apartment.

The man claimed that Taylor, 52, pointed the gun after the 26-year-old informed Taylor that he needed to give him days to vacate the property rather than force him to leave the next morning, police said.

When officers arrived and knocked on the door of the home, Taylor screamed, “I ain’t coming out,” police said.

SWAT was called in and Taylor eventually surrendered after about 90 minutes, investigators said.

The Philadelphia native was charged with aggravated assault, terroristic threats and weapons charges.

Taylor had a distinguished boxing career highlighted by his Olympic gold in the featherweight division at the 1984 Los Angeles Games.

Taylor also twice held welterweight crowns, but his professional career is best known for his two losing efforts against Mexican legend Julio César Chávez. The first bout in 1990 is regarded by many as one of best drama-filled fights in the history of the sport.

Taylor, who was leading on the scorecards and seemed to outbox Chavez for most of the fight, was dropped in the final seconds of the twelfth round - prompting referee Richard Steele to look him over and wave off the fight with seconds remaining on the clock. Steele's decision to stop the fight is still a hot topic of debate among fans of the sport.

Joshua didn't announce that, Hearn did.

Boxingego was right. They're not even giving dude time to come to terms with losing. Also this is what they jumped on Wilder and his team for - announcing rematch with Fury but not giving firm dates.

Joshua needs a tuneup fight to see where his head is.
