I doubt the ring was significantly hotter than other fights - no reason for it to be.
I could be wrong but I just think he's found his level and he doesn't have it in him to vary his game. He will always have a big puncher's chance but, now the bubble is burst, there'll be lots of fighters who fancy a go and who have the skills.
There are plenty of fighters at the top level who go twice a year. I'd just question whether Joshua has ever been elite.

AJ has at least stopped pushing people away, that always looked like a recipe for getting dropped sooner or later.
I'd largely agree. I wonder how hot it was in the ring. That's about the only saving grace I can offer. I think they might look for another route back possibly. Although given belt situation currently perhaps not.
As an aside can you remain at elite level, fighting just twice a year?
