GREAT fight.....but

Wlad looked courageous, he was tired and couldn't put AJ away when he had the chance, his punch output is clearly well below is prime years of 2009-2011. Great fight for a neutral, great fight for both sets of fans. Klitschko will win in Kiev and say goodbye, hopefully he finds a willing dance partner in the higher echelons of the division but on his performance tonight I see not many wanting to go near him. Maybe a rematch if the clause is iron tight, I see Joshua wanting to do it again but Klitschko needs not the damage.

41 years old and 2 years out of teh ring CMON now, thats 2 big buts right ther He was in great shape and looked very sharp, he didn't look any worse (physically or technically) than he has in any of his last 4-5 fights.

you sound salty bro salty? what the **** is wrong with salt? soy sauce is deliciousness

There is no buts. Both guys were in great shape, both guys have styles that mesh perfectly, both looked really good, both landed big knockdown shots and showed heart. Nothing to take away, he knocked out a HW great that hadn't been stopped in over a decade. 41 years old and 2 years out of teh ring CMON now, thats 2 big buts right ther

He didn't so much as blow it, but instead his age got the better of him. A 2012 version of WK finishes the fight in the 6th no problem. But that being said, you can only beat what is put in front of you, and AJ KO'd a hungry, focused version of Klit and deserves great credit for it.

I think we all know that if we put Deontay Wilder in the same situation when they should of finished each other theres no question Wilder gets the job done and it wont take what? three four falls? pathetic! This is why Joshua didn't mention Deontay in the post fight interview but he called out a 500 pound Tyson Fluffy. Pathetic! Stop ducking the 'Bronze-Bomber'.

Wlad proved the old adage that power is the last to go.

C'mon brother, Wlad put it all on the line tonight and both guys responded well to adversity. This is a fight where both guys should get full credit and respect for bringing their A games. Can't we wait a day at least before breaking down the ramifications of this and just enjoy what was the best HW fight in 20 years? tbh i couldnt fully enjoy it becaus e wlad let him off the hook / i wanted to see hearns face after AJ got sparked.

let's be honest, a 41 year old shot wlad had juicehua ONE punch away and let him off the hook. im happy the juicer won, as i wanna see Wilder and parker fights but wlad had the fight in his grasp and blew it. :dance: C'mon brother, Wlad put it all on the line tonight and both guys responded well to adversity.

Aj won but cant really argue with that, i thought wlad was about to walk away with the win. He needed to be more agressive. Cant let a dude like AJ linger around .
