Off Topic Joshua v Klitschko

[Febbos]

Impressed that he fought his way back and won it...!

Looked like bambi on ice after 6-7 rounds. I think that Klitschko outsmarted him until AJ showed some nasty nasty power....

 

[Cityswall]

5 seconds in round 11 AJ hit a bell ringer and then again a min later and it was all over and just a matter of time for Klitschko.

That uppercut!

 

[Walter Sobchak]

get in AJ ... youth overcomes in the end, great scrap two warriors but the younger legs prevail

I agree, Wlad is a specimen but Father Time can't be beaten.

So impressive for a 41 yo. Could have gone either way.

That was an absolutely ****ing superb bout. Huge respect to both of them, unbelievable.

That fifth round... that uppercut...

The way Joshua came back was brilliant.

Joshua made a mistake hunting the knockout in the fifth. That could have finished the fight.

always someone hungrier than you, I guess.

 

[ValleyGraduate12]

Great fight, I see a rematch coming.

AJ is lucky Father Time appeared in the 11th because a prime Klitschko schools him easily.

 

[Barchullona]

Ronnie Pickering would have them both on the same night.

I agree. Look through the thread and see my thoughts on them both.

Prime Wlad gives anyone in history a tough fight head to head.

 

[Leon...]

When the ref stepped in, was AJ sniggering a **** you at WK?

They were talking throughout the fight, particularly after the knock down. Got the impression WK was taunting him - of course, all part of the game.

I wondered that. Seemed strange as they had both been respectful to each other in the build up to the fight with none of the usual phoney histrionics.

 

[Chazz Rheinhold]

Great fight. Well done. Nice to see a bit of class from both boxers.
And if his mrs wants to take her clothes off that's fine too.

 

[Spook]

Can't dislike Wlad though. Being that magnanimous after getting booed at a packed Wembley. Gentlemen indeed.

 

[Spook]

**** off, Eddie.

 

[FILEYseadog]

Dont usually following boxing

But what a fight

I thought AJ had no chance as the fight went on.

Then Bang

 

[Spook]

Fury won't be fit in time to fight Joshua. Parker or Wilder next please.

The Rocky IV effect.
