Watching it again, it's a huge hit but not quite a perfect connection. It glances a little rather than the energy cleanly directed through on connection. Still an absolutely mammoth hit and he has no right not crumpling into a heap.

Joshua lands even one of those power punches and it's lights out for Fury. Hes learnt from this as well, he won't come in this heavy again.
It would be some fight, but I doubt it ever happen , dont see Fury getting his licence back any time soon.
If it did hopefully Fury would be hammered in to the ground, cant stand the fecking runt.
 
Won't happen. Still think that Fury's win over Klitschko was an one off.

Since then, Fury has been on depression. Joshua is getting better each day. Fury would have won a year or two ago, but that train has sailed IMO. Joshua puts him on his knees within 6 rounds.
:lol: No chance.
 
He was toast. Never seem him like that in all his career.

Amazing when you think about it - the cardio capacity of a 41 year old getting hammered in the head is so much different than that o a 27 year old. Full props to Wlad.

It's incredible. You get used to seeing 40+ year old actors and MMA fighters in amazing shape but they're all juiced up to the eyeballs. To get himself in that condition while being constantly tested for PEDs is incredible.
 
He was AJ up on two 96-93, 95-93 and WK up on one 95-93.
I don't actually think that was unreasonable tbh, albeit a five round swing is a bit weird between two judges- maybe we're all just used to seeing weird calls.

Agreed. I cant understand how anyone can like that cretin.
 
Rematch needs to happen. One last final battle.
No, this was perfect. Wlad's 41. He can't cope with AJ's speed, and AJ won't repeat the mistake of the 5th round in a rematch

Btw, think Vitali would still be the best HW in the world if he were still active :lol:

Fury would school Joshua if he gets back to full fitness.

I felt it could easily have been level going into that round. Few of the rounds hard to call.

The only way to make that scores is by giving every even round (1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 10) to Joshua which is very unreasonable considering that most of them were very close. Especially round 2 which in no way should have gone to Joshua.

Good that finished in KO, otherwise it would be one of those games ruined by refs.

He will come in just as heavy, he isn't going to cut weight and Joshua will struggle to land one of those power punches on Fury.
 
I wouldn't bank on this being the case, He's got a hell of a lot of adjusting to do on tonight's evidence which may include fundamental changes to his boxing style.
Yet he's still beaten Vlad after what should be considered a terrible fight on his part. He came in far too heavy and went for it far too early tonight, that won't happen again.
 
Funniest thing is how both of those guys had no problem giving an interview just after the fight, both having hit the deck, Wlad twice. Some footballers have problem putting a couple of sentences together in some comfy circumstances in a cafe with some journo.
 
Klitschko will probably be gutted that he didn't finish the job. It honestly looked over and Joshua somehow hung on to come back and take the win. Amazing fight

Yeah that was a bit surreal. As if they had a prepared monologue to impress the fans.
