Well....I think the bloke who put the other bloke on his arse three times was a pretty obvious vivtor

Hindsight etc

But in round 9 you couldn't call it.

[fudge]

Shut the fuck up bellew you cock

To be fair he called it perfectly before the last round

[Sammy5IsAlive]

5 years ago to the day, Klitchsko had fought 60 fights. 10 years ago, to the day, he'd fought 51 fights. Do you know the difference 30 fights makes to a boxers career? Only 1 of Klitchskos first 20 odd opponents has his own Wikipedia page. That should give some indication as to who he was fighting in his early career. AJ has 2 world title belts, and has beaten the best heavyweight in the division has seen since Lewis. In 19 fights.

Quite. I don't know what Joshua has to do to get credit from some people. For me he's answered the two big questions that were being asked of him before the fight. He's shown he has a chin (or at least the resilience to get up from what was a heavy knockdown) and he's shown that he can perform in the late rounds. The only question mark left is the inexperience he showed chasing the KO in the 5th and blowing himself out. He'll learn from that - you could almost argue that the last round showed that he had already learnt the lesson.

[Johns_Barn]

Had two, three at best, decent rounds mate.

What was the last decent heavy weight fight you saw?

[Fordy]

Boxing needs that fight in Vegas...It's been far to long that they was a big heavyweight fight there.

Fully agree.

Josh also need America now and if that fight was to happen then that's where it would take place.

[Cliff Bastin]

Tyson Fury will UD Joshua all day everyday.

Tyson Fury is in no fit state physically or mentally to do anything right now.

Yeah people forget AJ didn't have to take this. His selling out arenas and doing mad ppv numbers no matter who he fights.

Gotta sky are doing extremely well on the ppv side of things. Every boxing ppv seems to have an exciting main event right now now. AJ always stops someone, brook v GGG was good. Haye v Bellew was lapped up by the masses and now tonight.

Brook v Spence next month. You can see why the ppv numbers continue to be very strong as those that pay come away very entertained.

Back training now. People will be surprised.

I agree but money talks. It does seem like this is where the money is and Wilder knows it. He wants a piece of the action.

Eh?? AJ would of been one dumb fool not to have taken the fight.. seriously a 1st degree idiot not too.

Kilt lost to Fury with Ease and hasn't fought for a year plus he is 41 years old.. come on! It's a no brainer to take the fight.

[cornishscouser92]

Fury would give AJ all kinds of problems.

He's big, got a decent chin, got a fair shot on him, and can box for a big guy.

He would be awkward for most fighters.

Steve Cunningham put Fury on his backside and he's a cruiserweight

[Red_Irishman]

Any links to watch it again lads?

But he didn't have to. He could fight lesser opponents and still do great.

Tyson fury pulled out twice vs Klitchko and that was someone he already beaten.

BOOOOM

Not at the moment mate or at least I can;t find any.  Might have to wait till the morning.

No problem, thanks mate.

[puroresu_kid]

Wilder would get knocked out. His far too open and Joshua would wreck him.

[Samie]

Joshua wants none of Wilder

Eh! Wilder has bombs and it would be fireworks but he's fought nobodies  to and more than AJ and hes' got nearly 40 fights. Wilder isn't the second coming  of anyone,.

[Anfield89]

Fully agree.

Josh also need America now and if that fight was to happen then that's where it would take place.

True but over the years there has been much better fighters wilder is good but doesn't have the power Joshua has, speed and movement might make a decent fight but hope Bellew fight happens first

[Samie]

No problem, thanks mate.

[Chalky Boots]

You have to admit Vlad was a totally different fighter then to tonight. He looked like he hadn't trained at all... was so so sluggish.

Tonight was the best shape Wlad has been in for a minimum five years. Styles may make fights but he was well off what he was tonight against Fury.

All Joshua can do is keep blasting people until he hangs up his gloves, it's the only way he'll convinced naysayers he's a great - which is exactly what Wlad has had to do. And he's got that Holyfield mentality to just take whatever comes next, which I love.

What irritates me with the criticisms is that it eulogises an era where there still was a whole lot of dross in a division, and a whole lot of that dross was put away by the best heavyweights of the 80/90's.

Anyway it was a great fight and both guys did the occasion justice, which is something that has seldom happened over the past two decades.

[Chalky Boots]

Joshua wants none of Wilder

Bet he's absolutely bricking it at Deontay windmilling at him in the 5th...

[Samie]

The windmill is only saved for us fuckers out on the lash and picking fights outside of Greggs at 2am.

At the time of the stoppage, Joshua was up 96-93 and 95-93 on two cards, with Klitschko leading 95-93 on the other.

[gamble]

What a night. Two great fighters, the world is AJ's oyster now

[Alf]

Huge thanks plaudits to both fighters on a great battle. I thought Joshua was done at the end of the sixth round. He dug deep again in round 11 and got his reward.

[jonkrux]

Completely lost my voice from that fight. Genuinely thought vlad had it in the bag at the fifth round only for Joshua to recuperate and grow stronger. Awesome fight, if you haven't seen it, make sure you watch. Well worth it. If anyone doubted Joshuas stamina, I think he's shown his mettle right here. The man has got fight in him.. I know Klitschko is old but just watching him you can see he is a class boxer, enough said for me. Drunk as fcuk.

It really was magnificent. What browser were you using?

[Kop307]

Brilliant fight, by two great guys. I thought when Wlad had Joshua hurt after the knockdown it was over, and to be honest it should have been. A younger Klitchko and that's over, but fair fucks to AJ.

Long story with me and computers. Couldn't get Flash to work on chrome. Something got disabled because of the nightmare of Windows fucking 10. I dunno... usually streams are sort of OK, but tonight no. Firefox. Literally a slide show

[Anfield89]

Fights are always horses for courses. Was Forman better than joe Frazier ? no. It was a mis match of sizes  strengths. A lot of the time u get even match ups and winner gets huge praise and the loser it feels like the end.

That was brilliant and well worth anyone's money

Fair enough. It really was a great stream, couldn't fault it
