I always said I couldn't get fully behind Joshua because he had never been tested and it was impossible to say how good he was.
Well fuck me he's answered a few fucking questions there aint he.

No need that's as good as klit can hope to do these days n only getting older...yea foreman won a title at 46 but his style wasn't based on being of limber feet for 12. I say klit goes out on that loss with head held high nothing to be ashamed of.Quote:

I know they signed a 2 fight deal but I am just saying that in my humble opinion kltischko should walk away on this fight, he isn't going to do any better in a rematch I don't think...and also probably took more damage in this fight than last 10 years, but you're right they probably will do a rematch based on demand and money since this was a cracking fightQuote:

Good job to the old git wladimir but it is time for him to go now... I will now drink all my cans of pabst in mourning.
Joshua has proved himself to be a worthy champ too and is the man to beat in my opinion, hopefully he gets fury and wilder in the ring at some time.
I don't think Wlad will want it again, that must have took an absolute load out of him, the geeza will be 42 by the time of the next fight, AJ will just get better whilst Wlad will be running away from father time.Quote:

Fully agrered @Batman but money makes us do stupid shit but yeah I hope he's smart enough to walk out on what was a very good performance despite the loss...no shame in losing to the young lion he wasn't the first old champ nor will he be the last...hell AJ probably has the same fate in 15 years...
HA Fury's tweet to AJ
wellldone @anthonyfjoshua good fight, you had life & death with @klitschko & I played with the guy, lets dance
That might end up being AJs hardest fight akin to Calzaghe vs Eubank
Eddie will line up a couple of easy defences now for AJ. His heart will not survive a rematch fight or Wilder.

also pabst is best value for money when considering the quality to cost ratio(being from scotland that is the most important aspect).... old milwaukee is cheaper but it is also Beelzebubs bath water just foul.

On a different note where the fuck did my life go that wladdy is an old guy now and time for him to retire...
Even you must be impressed with Wlad, he was put down and then knocked down AJ and would have won the fight if he was allowed to box the last 2 rounds.Quote:

@elkabong - I know I said that Klitschko couldn't win down the stretch, but I can confirm I was wrong, he had Joshua in trouble around the mid rounds. Great fight though, and no doubt Wlad gave his all, and could have won with a little more.
Are heavyweights getting better or worse?
Wlad is 41 years old and at one stage had the fight in the bag against the 27 year old world champion.
This would never have happened to an old Vitali but Wlad must be commended on his performance and his physique is awesome.
Joshua and his weight...was it a good or bad thing he came in so heavy?
Less weight..less robotic?
More weight..more power?
I wish AJ all the best and think he should go after the parker belt before the wilder fight happens.
Wladimir Klitschko is a bona fide ATG heavyweight, underrated and under-appreciated by many.Quote:

What a treat that was. Maybe Im slightly obligated because I thought it was important for Joshua to win the fight, but I cant remember the last time I screamed at the TV like that, it's up there with Benn MCClellan, Hatton Tszyu.
First and foremost congratulations to the pair of them, class personified in every way and a credit to the sport. Wladimir was far more mobile, far more committed, far more engaged than he was against Fury (yeah yeah I know, it's because Fury's the second coming of Nicolino Locche in a giant suit and Wlad couldn't hit him with a fist full of rice) He showed great energy, great pride, heart, chin, resilience and what almost won him the fight, a commitment to the right hand cannon. He dropped several on AJ's bonce and it almost got the job done for him.
I dont want to be too critical of Joshua because he took a huge step up in class and he came out on top so props to him for that. Despite the cool exterior he was tight, he fought scared in parts and with a complete lack of fear in others. Oddly, for such a massive unit, he looks a little ropy at distance but utterly devastating up close. His jab for me should be used as a means to get up close to unload the heavy artillery. When he did that Wlad had no answer. He took an almighty crack on the chin from the best right hander Wlads thrown in years and lived to tell the tale. It was Dillian Whyte all over again though as it robbed him of a few rounds whilst he got himself back together, if the stoppage didnt come it might have cost him.
19-0, 19 KO's and a win now over an inspired Wladimir Klitschko in the 11th round, how many people would have picked that?
Well shit, not too many would have called that kind of a fight. Had to run out so missed it live but thankfully just managed to catch the whole thing on youtube without anything spoiling it. I hadn't liked Wlad for ages but was furiously behind him after the 5th round, just love that kind of effort/story in general, I can't believe AJ made it through that and the next few rounds. Massive respect to both really.
Perhaps you forgot where the fight was. Wlad could have won the last 2 rounds clearly and he would have only gotten a draw. Terrible cards every week.Quote:

question can anthony beat wilder?
That was a fun fight. Just what the heavies needed. I had it even after 10. Credit to Joshua for the win. He was able to get a 2nd wind late. That uppercut hurt Wlad in the 11th. At 41 and of the inactivity he pushed the young lion to the brink.

I wasn't, aj only attached twice and he went down twiceQuote:

Exciting fight both class acts , I also thought Wilder showed class in his comments.
So nice that none of the above are classless drug taking fat pikeys.
Wilder probably thinks he has a chance but I can only see AJ getting better and would beat Wilder easier than he did Wlad.Quote:
