    So when he was wobbling by the ropes like a sitting duck it was never in doubt? Yeah ok then.

    The only thing that stopped AJ getting knocked out right there and then was WK punched himself out, didn't have the energy to land that final blow.

    Looks like Joshua v Fury will be his next fight.

    Who won? When is Klitschko's open top bus parade? I'd like to see it.

    Hopefully Fury can sort his head out and get in shape for it.

    Somebody winning in the end isn't a reflection that it was 'never in doubt'. When Liverpool beat Milan in the Champions League Final was it 'never in doubt'? When was Milan's open top bus parade?

    You've turned into the love child of Castro and BCC. It was a fair fight an even fight both had been on the floor earlier, it could have gone either way, it was won in the 11th if it had gone all the way the judges would have given it to klitchko.

    "It was never in doubt" my arse.

    Carl Froch thought it was in doubt and I think he knows a bit more about boxing than GLP.

    I'm leaving it there.

    To be fair He was 2/5 at most bookies so it wasn't the greatest tip of all time, I don't like to brag but I said all yesterday that Barcelona would beat Espanyol

    I've seen many respented journalists and pundits say they had Klitchsko well ahead on points and the only was Joshua could win was to stop him. That'd suggest it was in doubt.

    you obviously never saw the judges scorecards upto the 11th round then. Joshua 95-93, 96-93, Klitch 95-93

    Funny how 2 of the 3 judges had Joshua ahead on the scorecards until the knock out in the 11th.

    I suggest you have a look at the actual scorecards. 2 out of the 3 judges had Joshua ahead into the 11th round. Just saying.

    Not funny at all, a massive part of sport is opinion.

    And the fact it's not unanimously all 3 judges suggests that 'it was in doubt'.

    You're losing in the 'clutching at straws competition'.

    Youve actually proved the opposite to what you intended here.

    No, if it had gone to the scorecards would Klitschko have won? No, no he wouldn't. So whether by KO, or by the scorecards it was never in doubt. I think that's case closed.

    Just correcting people. You then have people arguing Klitschko would have won if it had gone to the cards, which clearly he wouldn't have.
