That was a fantastic fight. I'm still buzzing. Cong**** to both, but Wlad needs to retire now.

fight was stop to early

Though Klitchko didn't complain . The stoppage looked a bit premature .

AJ didn't knock him out,he stopped Klit.A great fight with its ebb and flows.Joshua showed he has ability and heart and better than Wilder who has only fought bums.AJ should beat Wilder but is apt to getting clipped which is Wilder's only real hope because of his power.

Missed the fight
What's the honest equation on it?
Was it competitive throughout? How did klitschko/joshua look?

Congratulations Joshua! WK must be retired so, he struggled very well for years but his period is over! If Deontay believes in himself and starts fighting against real fighters, he'll be best fighter in HW division. AJ has serious condition problems.

Yeah new era but AJ aint going to rule it.

With what AJ just showed how can you be so sure he's not going to rule it. From what I saw, he has just as good as a chance as Wilder has. Wilder hasn't came off the floor when it looked like he was out, to come back and get the KO.

Great fight, great performance from Klitschko and a great last hurray for a 41 year old who has been a dominant champion and a pro since 1996. Joshua's youthfulness served him well and he showed a lot of heart to pull that back.

I've been saying that. Joshua is a HW Canine Bundrage . Way to over muscled for boxing. Boxing is more about Stamina than muscle mass.

That was a pounding that AJ laid on Wlad in the 11th. Who is saying that WK's chin is weak - ridiculous. If anything I'm amazed he got up from that uppercut that put him down for the 1st time in the 11th.

The one worrying thing is the rematch clause that Wlad mentioned. The IBF will strip AJ - they have their ****** rules. Wouldn't mind if their mandatories were up to it but they are often terrible.

I felt Klitschko had him, but let him off the hook. Was too, too tentative after dropping him in the sixth.
