Joshua did do well to recover, but that in part was due to the fact Whyte tired soon after. Those arms of Joshua's may pack some power but as the fight wore on they got lower and lower resulting in too many clean hits to his head. Was it the body shots that he was protecting against or was it because he was lacking in stamina?
Boxing Gossip channel did raise some valid points, but as we have seen with Parker, the difference between this fight and Joshua's next will see where he is really at. It'll be interesting to see it they want him moved up to a higher ranked opponent or sideways for more work before a step-up. I'd suggest they would do the latter. This was a wake up call, against a future journeyman (Whyte).
