Doesn't seem like there was much point in the Joshua fight, Sprott looked way out of shape for a pro boxer.

Round qualifies as a shape surely?

Haha. It was ridiculous, he just looked like a porker, I know some Heavyweights can get away with carrying a bit of flab but when you see the physique of Joshua he was always in bother.
 
Joshua is a colossus,obviously geared up to the eye balls......but he has a fantastic physique and awesome power.It will be interesting to see just how far he can go.
 
Always a bit appalled to see a boxer carrying extra weight around the waste, it seems like a complete lack of professionalism. Being in shape is your job, there really is no excuse not to be in shape. Always annoyed me to see Ricky Hatton bloating out and not living properly when he wasn't in training, surely it's not too much to expect them to stay in shape all year round? Plenty of people who aren't professional athletes manage, pretty much every sportsmen for every other sport manages, yet some boxers don't seem to manage it. Bellew looks like he could lose a few as well

Some boxers go mental to make a weight. I mean starvation. If you're not in training or a fight, I think you can be forgiven for letting your weight increase. Hatton was big at his weight, he'd go in the ring 10 pounds heavier the night after.
 
Cleverly's right hand seems to mainly be for show boating purposes. Barely thrown one so far, just endless left jabs while making Bellew miss.
 
Is it possible to award both fighters with a loss? Neither has done anything positive as of yet
 
Cleverly is milking this fight. Sacrificing power for speed at the minute.

Later in the fight he'll land those big right hands and Bellew will drop
