Joshua vs wlad
Did anyone see the fight last night?
I was never sold on Joshua , Hearn fed him diet or bums and god dam tomatoe cans
He went life and death with a 41 year old wlad who was passed his best by 7 or 8 years . Had wlad thrown caution to the wind would of stopped Joshua anywhere from 6 to 10
These rounds Joshua was staggering all over the ring barley able to hold his hands up hardly threw a punch
Aj was slow and cumbersome
Showed poor movement and limited boxing ability
Was exposed for poor punch resistance
And even worse recovery from the knockdown
Imo the hype train has been well and truly derailed

He did well but I'm not convinced as Vlad is past his best.
Apparently AJ has called out Tyson - If TF can get his head right I think AJ is in for a tough night!

Gassed himself fo death in the fourth when the gameplay of knocking Vlad out in the first three didn't go to plan imo. To look like Joshua does physically and have amazing cardio isn't really gonna happen imo.
Two judges had Joshua winning on the scorecards when it all finished in the eleventh which surprised me. Vlad was connecting with his jab for a lot of the later rounds.
Still lots to learn for Joshua and I like the guy. Good for the sport, especially the heavyweights. They keep saying how young he is. Tyson did all this six years ago lol

AJ was on a hiding to nothing really. If he had lost, the snipers would of been all over him about being beat by an "ageing Klitschko". As it is, the snipers are still there playing down the win because it was against an "ageing Klitschko"
Funny how all the pro's and people in the game see it different to the internet boxing experts...
As for the Pikey, he's be better off staying out of the ring and going back to stripping lead from church roof's..

I was lucky enough to be at Wembley watching it.
Amazing fight, atmosphere was unreal.
Fair play to Klitchko, looked like he had it in the bag for a bit, but AJ certainly showed what he's made of and answered a few questions.
Get to meet him on the 11th May which should be good.

You mean all the biased paid off commentators for sky who are all on matchroom payroll
All the fighters for matchroom bellew murray etc are hardly gonna lay out the cold hard truth that wlad was boxing the ears off Joshua
Wlad will be kicking himself he didn't step in 6 7 8 or 9 and finish Joshua off

I'm not overly convinced Fury will give him a lesson 
if you're going on how well he did against Wlad and how Aj performed against him last night then sadly it doesn't work like that. Styles make fights and some can perform better against what's put in front of them.
Wlad performed well last night against Aj, for being 41 his fitness levels were good and he took control of the fight early on with his jab and trying to set up the straight right which has served him well his whole career. I think Aj was being over cautious for the first few rounds, he was struggling to find his range.
In the 5th he decided to go all guns blazing and Wlad couldn't deal with that, but he gassed out so quickly. The 6th was worrying, he was so tired I thought that was it, especially after he went down. That was a good shot from Wlad. Somehow he managed to come back.
The next few rounds were still troubling times for Aj but he found his second wind and started to connect with some good shots, I was worried in the 10th that he was going to gas out again after he threw a good series of combinations that troubled Wlad. The 11th was brilliant, I'm just happy for Aj that Wlad was too far gone because Aj was getting tired again after each flurry of combinations.
As for points the judges actually had Aj up 2 cards to 1
95-93 95-93 93-95 and the 11th if it had continued would have been a 10-7 for Aj.
I think if Aj works on conditioning a bit more, concentrate on composing himself and not gassing out so quickly then he'll be unstoppable. He beats Fury easily imho, you can say this that and the next about how well Fury did against Wlad but that means ****, last night was the best we've seen from Wlad in 6-8yrs......plus the fact that Aj stopped him......it's been over a decade since that's happened.
I think Fury is proper funny, good to watch, I actually like the guy but I don't rate him. I think he's **** tbh. Aj stops him.

Fact is if he had it in him he would have. But he didn't, he was boxing well from the get go and was keeping busy, he had to to keep Aj away and that takes its toll especially for these big guys. He was too tired himself to make a big attack and more than likely used up all his resources when he put Aj down in the 6th plus the attacks that followed.
It's all good saying ifs and buts but what happened happened. Aj won fair and square and it was a bloody good show. Best for a while.

Joshua is poor version of frank Bruno
And fury will make him look silly with his far superior boxing skills
Joshua Scrope home against a washed up shell that used to be wladamir klitchko
He has stamina issues he has punch resistance and punch recovery issues
The hype job had been exposed

You make it sound like he got beat?
Well all I can put to that is we'll see. Opinions are like arseholes, everyone has one. You obviously see things differently and I'm not saying you're wrong, but you are

Some people are reading a little too much into Joshua's 19th fight against the best active fighter in the division. He'll learn from this and progress but he can only face what's out there and it's not a great era for talented HWs. It's a land of powerful giants now, not like it used to be but there's a great buzz about boxing and the division which is great to see.

Snooker is a lot tougher sport than boxing, snooker players have to be super fit as they are on the table for a long time and they play all day, boxers just have to do 12 x 3 minute rounds so they are only performing for 36 minutes and they get a cig break between each round.

WK looked real fit and up for this fight, alright he got pushed / knocked down, but man did he batter AJ in the next round, he should have finished AJ off, he was gone, hadn't got a scooby where he was, AJ took 2.5 rounds to come back to his senses, WK should have gone for the kill, but hey he's 41 and was probably knackered lol
In the end AJ won fair and square with an onslaught of punches

Well I think comments here are way too harsh. I didn't see fight, just heard the Radio 5 commentary. Yeah I know it was hyped up a bit but I thought it was fantastic show. Two great boxers really going for it. Incredibly fit 41 year old with super skills against a young tough opponent with much to learn. I think Joshua is a lot better than you guys reckon. 18 fights, 18 wins is a good start.
Joshua/Tyson is unlikely but would be fascinating. I think Tyson, if fit, might have the edge.

PS. Is fight on YouTube yet?

Wlad just laid down the blueprint on how to beat Joshua he cannot deal with movement
Use your boxing skills for 5 rounds till he's blowing out hks **** then take him to school and ko him out other heavyweights will have nothing to fear ol aj is delicate around the whiskers

I'll be honest, I've never seen Fury fight. But by reading what his fans type I can't understand what he hasn't unified the division a while ago, as apparently he's that good.

Fury beat wlad quite easily put on a clinical boxing display
We has ibo ibf wba and wbo world heavyweight champion the only belt he didn't have was the wbc, he was immediately stripped I think of the ibf although they knew he was contracted to give wlad an immediate rematch they said he had fight there mandatory which was obviously impossible it was the excuse needed to rob his title after all who wants a gypsy representing your organisation fury was treated disgracefully that lead to a down wards spiral cocaine abuse etc he reliquinched his titles lost his boxing licence and had t fought for 16 months whilst currently weighs 24.5 stone
