After 18 fights Anthony Joshua steps in the ring with an all time great, Wladimir Klitschko. Wladimir Klitschko has a record of 25-3 in title fights with the record of most title fights in heavyweight history. Joshua is yet to face a top level opponent and many think he's bit more than he can chew. Wladimir in my opinion will win by KO in 8th round, he will jab and follow with the right hand until he stops Joshua. Anthony has shown a vulnerable chin in the amateurs and has been dropped and stopped several times. He has shown no signs of moving his head, clinching, or stepping back, he uses his own head as his defense and it will be his down fall against the all time great.
Mayweather found himself in plenty of situations where he was ass up against the ropes and doing nothing but defending against Chino Maidana, so, care to rethink that one?
It was a bad stoppage, you're allowed to defend yourself.
When was Floyd knocked on his ass and in danger of being knocked out?
Floyd Mayweather would never find himself in a situation like that. Wlad was going to get knocked out one way or another.

The stoppage was from no shots landed, all the shots were being rolled, missing, or blocked.
Imagine Floyd Mayweather being stopped like this, It was a bad stoppage nobody can deny that.
To have such a great heavyweight fight and to end it like that without a definitive ending, it's bad because the rematch will likely be more than definitely going to happen.

Huh stoppage was legit...I thought the fight would be stopped after the brutal 2nd knockdown in the 11th

Its the speed with the size that makes AJ powerful, but his technique in terms of generating power isnt up there with a Wlad.
Make no mistake though, when he unloads, any fighter in the world could be in trouble
Those were fully loaded hooks he landed on Klitschko and he was still up, forget technique, if he was as powerful as people make it out to be it would have been over.
When AJ did drop WK it was through a barrage of punches rather then one shot. If his power was legit he would have ended WK easy with that many punches in the 5th.

But the fight is rumored to only make 30M pounds, don't you think a fight with 90K people live and 1.5M PPV's would make more than that?? Canelo-Cotto made more
Brits to their credit don't/won't pay 70 for ppv or 1200 tickets to see the fights.
If I'm Haye's manager I'm telling him to stay away from a Klitschko fight while he's limping. Its not too late for more Haye toe jokes.
That's a part of his career he needs to escape from.
I don't think The Hayemaker has a manager! He did not turn up anyway, and i think this was a smart move! I will look forward to him redeeming himself come the end of 2017!
Naah his power is legit, so is his gasometer unfortunately lol.
Wlad was in trouble everytime Aj started to unload.
Lets say He didnt gas "hypothetically" 6rnd he would of come out the same again and Wlad would of been out of there. After that burst in the 5th which dropped Wlad he was absolutely shattered. Wlads showed ultra fitness to get up and turn the tied. Personally I think Wlads fitness at 41 is second to none. Wlad wound the clock back there tonight best ive seen him in years tbf.

Respect to him for that, he is calling out the best fighter in the division, over an exciting, but much lower caliber fighter.
As a fellow Lomachenko fan, one would think you would be a fan of the HW lomachenko - Tyson Fury.
I would slap you if you were here for saying that. What an insult to Loma
I actually think AJ's power is quite a quite bit overrated.

WOW! That was a great fight! Both fighters showed a lot of heart.I feel bad for Wladimir he was close to winning, he showed he's a legend again. Joshua will improve from this, he definitely answered some questions great win and congrulations to him!
Eddie hearn must have had a near heart attack. First Joshua knocks Klitschko down and shortly after Klitschko was very close to finish Joshua. Now he has Joshua positioned to be a real big moneymaker.
People should now give Fury the respect he deserves, we should all be thankful that we're in the presence of a guy with ATG potential. I hope the Gypsy King returns and rids the division of these pretenders and frauds.
... Fury is good... of course...
I'm glad that Joshua showed character and won this fight... I predicted that Wlad would KO AJ late, due to Joshua's inexperience in walking through the championship rounds...
