    Nobody is disputing he would've won. The dispute is whether it was 'never in doubt'. The fact that you brought up about 1 judge putting Klitschko ahead shows that it was indeed in doubt.

    It's only in doubt if he was behind on the cards and needed the KO to win. As he won by KO and was ahead on the cards it really wasn't ever in doubt. Why are we even having this conversation?

    Because it was in doubt when he was put on his arse. I'm pretty sure at that point Joshua himself would've had doubts.

    I didn't really want to get into the scorecards but in Britain there is a reputation that home fighters generally get favourable scorecards or ref decisions.

    'British judging' and 'British stoppages' is now world wide thing in other countries. I remember just recently Mcdonnell got his arse handed to him easily by Solis, and one judge gave it 117-111 Mcdonnell. I think Solis appealed it but a judge score of that when Solis easily won the fight can only be corruption.

    Anyway back to this fight I though it was really close and had Wlad 1 round up going into the 11th, but it was close enough that 10 people could have had 10 different scorecards.

    No I haven't seen the score cards, i thought that was what was said on the news this morning. Whatever, to say the result was never in doubt is bollocks as the score card show. Oh and the fact that they were both on their arse's earlier. It could of gone either way.

    Which scorecards mattered? Yours or the judges? Outside of the 3 people charged with scoring a result if it went the distance. Nobody else's opinion matters, as it's just that - an opinion.

    You do realise that you are probably the only person who saw the fight to think that it was never in doubt don't you?

    No.

    Klitschko turned up to fight in probably the best condition in his professional fight career. He still didn't have enough. His round 6 was no different to round 5 for Joshua.

    I don't think you're quite getting this <laugh>

    No one is disputing that.
    I'm glad Josh won, personally. The fact is after round 6 most people that know anything about heavyweight boxing knew it was in doubt.

    Maybe you should stick to feather weight boxing where big punches don't get thrown.

    The bottom line is heavy weight boxing always has an element of doubt. One heavy punch and it's over.

    It's not really that difficult to understand.

    Only in your own head mate, to everyone else you're coming a cross as a bit of a bellend.

    Actually, he's done a pretty good job.

    I'm impressed.

    Yep, you're right.

    Never thought of GLP as such, maybe he's having an off day?
