A lighter Joshua usually means sharper feet and quicker pitches. This isn’t always good news for men of short stature.

What they said (briefly)

Paul believes speed and angles will allow him to control the fight and avoid Joshua’s right hand.

Joshua has made it very clear. He knows anything short of a dominant performance will be judged harshly. He’s not talking about scores or patience. He’s talking about hurt.

You can interpret it any way you want.
