    How did that fella win 2 belts? Did he buy them? An absolute sham. Add to the Sky's rip-off price of €22.00 for tonight's fare.

    Does he do that to Wilder or Fury ? Or Haye?

    If he lands clean, I think so.

    Haye would have the most awkward style.

    The look on Joshua's face after the second knockdown when he looked towards the camera was great.

    "Well, what can you do, I'm too good."

    2nd round KO.

    Two knockdowns caused by single straight rights.

    Can't help but get more and more impressed by Joshua. People said he couldn't box but he judged everything to perfection in those two rounds. He ranged him so well.

    I'm finally a believer in Joshua. The timing of those shots was beautiful. His skill is getting better with every fight it seems.

    But does he land clean? That's the question. Most heavyweights who land clean will win by KO

    Along with a number predicting a Martin win and others thinking it would be difficult.

    I said it would be neither.

    Don't know why Martin was complaining to the ref. He was looking at the count and choose to get up at the 10 count

    What an atrocious fight. How was it on box office?

    He didn't look too interested. His protests looked lukewarm

    Anthony Joshua is absolutely ridiculous. A very mature fight for somebody so young. The way he disguised that right hand was a thing of beauty.

    My opinion this is a bit of a gimmie for AJ

    That's what I said

    Martin was just a sitting target. No head movement at all, just a terrible south paw. Joshua has the power to knock anyone out, but fighters of a better calibre will surely make it a lot harder for him than Martin that's for sure.

    Fury would be a very difficult fight for Joshua

    I admit myself I fell for the Martin hype a little, but at least I watched his previous fights an he looked pretty impressive, granted against Lidl tuna cans...but it's clear Joshua is different breed. No shame in admitting I called that wrong, Joshua looks to be the real deal. Still a very raw talent though. Probably the best result for the division as a whole too. Like it or not, British Boxing is booming atm.

    At least Fury and Haye will attack, Martin was a static punch bag.....

    What next for AJ? He looks the real deal.

    Eddie Hearn reminds me a bit of Jimmy Carr

    I think in fairness most people, not just you, saw this as Joshua's best chance of becoming heavyweight champion.

    Fair play he is not getting too excited about beating a tomato can.

    He would demolish Haye for sure.
