Can’t give Joshua more than one star for yet another beat-down of a tomato can.
Let’s hope the upcoming Johnson fight marks the beginning of him only fighting quality — and no more of this farcical stuff.
This was a good matchup on paper. Zumbano gave 12 rounds to Briggs a year ago, he’s got a fairly good record of almost 50 pro fights, but it didn’t show at all. Can Joshua be that good? Looking foward to his next fight versus K. Johnson!
He’s moving slowly but surely! Now 16-0 Dillion White in December.

Well, I know he had a VERY great amateur career, but you can’t be angry towards Joshua for moving a step at a time. Especially as he fills out stadiums even while taking on “lesser opponents”.
We are talking about a guy with almost 50 pro fights whom he faced. The learning experience looked painful for Mr. Love! Mr. Love went 12 against Briggs, but he went what Joshua decided he would go in this one lol. Brutal KO.
