I thought Joe fought well, it was nice to see him snapping that Jab out again and although Joshua controlled ring position he looked tentative and rarely landed anything of note. I thought Joe could have thrown more in those last 2-3 rounds but its easy to say from this distance.
The great thing with Joe is he has become a great defensive fighter, he slips a lot of big shots and I dont think Ive ever seen anyone hurt him consistently, the trick is for him to now evolve that offensive part of his game and learn to punch straighter and turn his punches over. Its sad to see a lot of online folk condemning this bout but I thought it was a high quality intense strategic contest
Props to Joe and the way he conducted himself through the entire build to post fight, nobody else has gone the distance with AJ in the pro division and in front of 80,000 fans he did him and his family proud
