This referee is hilarious. He only ever seems to warn Joshua after Pulev does something in the clinch.

Exactly what I am seeing

Haha, you can tell I'm not a boxing regular. I've liked the referee letting things go. I'm treating it like a footy match.

Forgot how dirty Pulvev is, the fucker hits back of the heat a fuckin' lot in his fights.

It would be nice if the ref actually did his fucking job and reffed this properly but nevermind

Pulev is a tough old bastard. Don't think this was ever going to be over quick.

Wlad had to put him on his arse a few times.

If only he let it go for both boxers. Pulev is getting away with everything.

Welshred · « **Reply #64965 on:** December 12, 2020, 11:25:04 pm »

AJ getting frustrated in there which isn't helping. Still giving him every round so far though.

Samie · « **Reply #64966 on:** December 12, 2020, 11:25:48 pm »

That was probably Pulev's best round.

Deffo.

I think he won me over by not stopping the fight when Pulev turned his back. Too many big fights with the referee desperate to stop things.

Joshua should've ended it after Pulev turned his back. He was in la-la land at that point

Tyson fury would have a field day against Joshua

Looked comfortable through out.

All those uppercuts took their toll in the end. Brilliantly finished.

Samie · « **Reply #64976 on:** December 12, 2020, 11:29:09 pm »

Pulev down again and out fucker.

Not sure what you were just watching. AJs best performance for me.

He's learning when to boc and when to go big. Very impressed.

RedSince86 · « **Reply #64978 on:** December 12, 2020, 11:29:19 pm »

Awesome finishing.

gazzalfc · « **Reply #64979 on:** December 12, 2020, 11:29:25 pm »

Ref should have stopped before the last ko

Solid finish

I've been a good boy · « **Reply #64981 on:** December 12, 2020, 11:29:42 pm »

Oh that was a beautiful straight. Exactly like the one Wilder threw to KO Brezeale.

What a punch to finish it. Clean as you like.

Good fight to be honest, interesting blend from Joshua, seemed a bit more mature, normally you'd expect him to end up punching himself out in the 4th after that 3rd round, but he managed to control himself and actually carry on boxing.

koptommy93 · « **Reply #64984 on:** December 12, 2020, 11:30:15 pm »

Pulev was hard as nails there taking all that

smicer07 · « **Reply #64985 on:** December 12, 2020, 11:30:26 pm »

Pulev any good? He looked shite.

Samie · « **Reply #64986 on:** December 12, 2020, 11:30:39 pm »

Joshua is THE best finisher in Heavyweight boxing and one of the best ever.

gazzalfc · « **Reply #64987 on:** December 12, 2020, 11:30:44 pm »

Be interesting to see AJ's Covid test after that

He's been a solid heavyweight, but this was only his second world title shot and his record isn't that great. No bum, tough and decent, but no more than that.

Fair play to AJ, he couldn't do any more than that really.

Dull Tools · « **Reply #64989 on:** December 12, 2020, 11:31:26 pm »

Was just saying that he needs to go to the body more after his 5th uppercut in a row but then he knocks him down with an uppercut.

Still think he will need to go to the body more when it is so open. Even if it is just to bring his arms down and expose his head again.

Only one defeat previously and that was to Wlad Klitchko, Top 10 definitely.

Also a mandatory, so had to fight him.

Legs · « **Reply #64991 on:** December 12, 2020, 11:31:57 pm »

Got one right for once 9-10 rounds win.

AJ just had to win he saw what happened against Ruiz same with Whyte against Povetkin.

I still say Fury UD against AJ.

He can’t run from fury much longer. I’d put large sums of money on fury stopping him inside 8 rounds

I've been a good boy · « **Reply #64994 on:** December 12, 2020, 11:32:50 pm »

Tyson Fury would just jab and lean on him all night. Criticize AJ all you want but he's easily the most entertaining fighter in the world right now, maybe Crawford at a close second.

Defo a top 10 fighter. Up there with Povetkin and Whyte as being just outside of the top 3.

Just like he was running away from Wilder until Wilder just said he was the one who didn't want the fight.

Mighty_Red · « **Reply #64998 on:** December 12, 2020, 11:35:04 pm »

Much much better performance from AJ, fairly controlled. Have to say Pulev has a jaw on him, many wouldn't have come back from 2 knockdowns to survive 6 more rounds.

RedSince86 · « **Reply #64999 on:** December 12, 2020, 11:35:25 pm »

Pulev trolling AJ there.

Something was said there.
