    Was a great fight, a proper brawl in places. Respect to both fighters, they both came out of that boxing match with their heads held high. Really big win for Joshua as like he said, he's still learning under the lights. There was a moment in the 5th where he looked like he'd lost his head and was going to get worn down by Klitschko. But that 11th round he was in beast mode and took it to him.

    No. He won because he nearly took his head off with an uppercut that even Tyson would have winced at

    Not the best admittedly...but are you basing that on seeing the full games Matthew or just match of the day?

    Our game at Albion was a fierce and intense contest, the kind you'll always have against a Pulis side ...

    The least entertaining game I've seen this season was United at Anfield, largely down to Mourinho's anti entertainment tactics ...with the most expensively assembled squad in the Premiership... now that really was 'crap'... :)

    <laugh><laugh> You may have just made it onto Matth's ignore list.

    We've been better to watch this season to be fair, but considering Injury situation, I was happy with a point on Thursday.

    I was basing it on the lack of goals, I mean, 4 goals scored yesterday.

    I was there last night and either man could have won as they both had their opponent down, AJ looked like Bambi on ice at one stage and clung on very well to survive. They both put in some great hits and the 10th and 11th were brutal and AJ demolished K in the end, but it could have gone either way if he hadn't!

    I cant wait for rematch or AJ v Fury as I will go to them

    He won because he had a second wind and Klitschko didn't have anything in the tank to respond.

    I actually like him .... he's got the physical presence needed to succeed in the PL and he's got a great left peg . Just needs to learn to time his tackles better . He's not the first player to struggle in his first season in the PL ..... wasn't Pires poor and to a lesser extent T Henry ??

    AJ is a nice guy but he got lucky last night .

    I bet he can't even remember the three rounds he spent stumbling around in a confused stupor .

    He saved his career by an uppercut though , wasn't it the only one he threw all night as well !!!

    He looked like Mr Blobby on Ice for the middle three rounds I bet even now he thinks the fight only went 7 or 8 rounds LOL

    He was lucky WK ran out of steam, WK was boxing his ears off. A younger WK would have finished him in the 6th,

    He took those rounds off, to recover his energy levels, well, according to AJ ;)
