"Down goes Joshua!! Down goes Joshua!!"

Actually, I read about the fight on-line yesterday. It sounded like it was so much better than other recent boxing matches. My friend paid for the PPV between Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao and invited me over for it. Nobody thought it was a good fight at all. I wish I had offered to pay for this one--it sounds like it was one for the ages.

Who did you think would win if there hadn't been a TKO? What do you think of this observation from wikipedia: "At the time of stoppage, Joshua was ahead on two judges scorecards (96-93 and 95-93) and the third judge had Klitschko ahead (95-93). CompuBox stats showed that Joshua landed 107 of his 355 punches thrown (30%), and Klitschko landed 94 of 256 (37%)"

Who do you think Joshua will fight next, Deontay Wilder or Tyson Fury? Which fight do you think will be bigger?
