That was a wonderful fight. Credit to both.
Anthony Joshua learned that he has a lot to learn about ring craft. And everyone else learned he has a fucking jaw and the ability to come back from a big hit.
Great fight. I hope Vlad retires now. Hes been a terrific ambassador for the sport but has nothing to prove getting beaten by younger fitter men.
Joshua could dominate this division for years.

If he doesn't he'll always be accused of running from him and I doubt AJ could let that lie. However, Fury doesn't deserve to be in the same ring. Shame that Klitschko didn't produce a similar performance against Fury or there wouldn't even be a debate.
Anyone able to help me out with a link where I can re-watch this? Cheers 🙂
That was a helluva fight.
Love to type more but head hurts, only just woke up.

I don't buy that.
Klitschko showed some incredible boxing skills from rounds 1-4 to keep a determined Joshua at bay with that experience showing as he used the jab to great effect.
Following that he allowed Joshua in a bit more in a calculated gamble to allow him to land more punches, which almost paid off.
Sure Joshua showed he needed a few more top quality fights to improve his skills & experience, but he's still an extremely good boxer, & he'll only get better, he could well dominate the division for some time.

Joshua is built a lot more like an athlete than most, if not all, heavyweight boxers before him. That is a huge asset & is undoubtedly how he managed to get a second wind & come back to win that fight.
I've seen plenty of athletic fighters before but never as big as him along with the pace & punching power to back it up.

Glad I didn't stay up to watch that then!
Can't wait for that. Unlike Pacman-Mayweather, I can't see this not being epic.
Two fighters who both like to bang.
Hope Golovkin knocks his head off though.
Snoozefest for Canelo. This guy was never going to be at it anyway, it's the same for most fights these days, the promoters pretend that the bum they've got lined up as opposition is an amazing talent, when they're actually shit. Look at all the fights Joshua has had where they've made his opposition out to be amazing - Martin, brejazle, whyte.
Glad that we're getting the biggest fight out there in Sept tho, there isn't not anything else near this for the foreseeable future, nothing even close. This is a bit like mayweather pacquiao but both fighters are actually pretty much in their prime.
