That's what cost Wlad in the 1st fight in my opinion. If he had of jump on AJ after the knock down he may have ended it. Instead he choose caution, possibly thinking about AJ's "Stamina Issues" later in the fight. But it came back to bite him in the a** when Joshua got his 2nd win. I think Wlad needs to use that jab better. Throw it solid. The right was working but Wlad also has a nice left hook. I would also target that body frequently. Wlad needs to work on his inside game.

I remember being amazed that the left hook wasn't landing for WLAD when he had Aj so hurt. Since he's not exactly a windmill himself, I thought he might have over invested in that punch if anything, he definitely threw a lot that were potentially finishers, will have to watch it again though.

Wlad must have nightmares about that uppercut and will be afraid of getting in close.

Honestly, would rather see Anthony Joshua move on and fight someone else as this is still a dangerous fight minus as much reward as the first one. Wlad deserves this rematch though if he wants it. Joshua should stop him sooner. I'll still be on the edge of my seat though knowing how close Wlad came the first go around.
