Joshua will be a much better fighter now. Baptized by fire.

Wilder can beat AJ if he lands first, but there is no way he can handle AJ's power. W's punches are so wide that it's hard to imagine AJ won't land and if he gets W on the run it's over.

It was a great fight, id like for AJ to pace himself more when he goes for the kill, he had Klit badly hurt in the first knockdowns

Klit showed heart came back n had AJ badly hurt he couldnt stop him

Great fight, just what boxing needed

How did you come to that inclusion gypsy king would not last two rounds with AJ if he is allowed back in a ring again.

" After all the hoopla about what was supposed to have been an exciting contest between IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs) and #1 WBO Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) last Saturday night, the results of the fight were less than earth shattering. Fury won the fight by a very dull 12 round unanimous decision without even landing 100 punches.

It’s unheard of for a fighter to land less than 100 punches in a 12 round fight, but Fury actually did there. The amount of punches landed from both fighters was a complete and utter embarrassment. If you had the chance to listen to the HBO talking heads complain about the lack of action in the fight, then you got some amusement because they were all bellyaching something fierce, and you can’t blame them.

Heck, both Fury and Klitschko fought like they had their eyes closed for the full 12 rounds, as they were whiffing on punches left and right. Wladimir just looked terrified for the full 12 rounds, and showed zero desire to throw any punches even with his older brother Vitali Klitschko trying to give him pep talks in the corner between rounds.

Fury landed only 86 of 371 punches for a connect percentage of 23%, according to CompuBox. "

So while you try to airbrush Gypsy (Junkie) King as a top heavy weight please read the facts.

Fact is Tyson did the job in much easier fashion. As the stats suggest barely got out of 1st gear and bamboozled Wlad all night making him second guess with feints. He completely shut down a younger Wlad fighting in his hometown. AJ sc****d through with everything in his favor

Great fight. Best Heavyweight fight i've seen in a long time. Sounded a great atmosphere also.

I always felt it would be a tough fight for Joshua. There was a few threads a while back asking if the winner deserved full credit, and i answered yes..100%. I always seen it as a 50/50 type fight.
Wlad looked poor against Fury, but that was mostly to do with Fury making him look poor. It was a great performance from Fury as Wlad is still dangerous, even if he is past his best.
Joshua's style suited Wlad better than Fury's so i expected good match-up.

I've got a tonne of respect for Wlad, he tried to take center of the ring early and back Joshua up whenever he could. Some of his ring generalship was spot on.
He was all heart after the knock down, got up and finished the round strong. I had him a few up going into the 11th.

Joshua impressed me also. He was in deep with a dangerous and very experienced guy. No one has hurt him like that or made him fight at an early pace like that. There was questions as to how he would react to that when it happened and he showed heart and got the job done. A real big win for him.

I loved that fight. Both guys were down, hurt and showed real guts. For me, that's what Heavyweight boxing is all about, and why we love it. The division needed a fight like that.

Nice to see a fight deliver on a big stage like that also. No fake war of words, or fighting at press conferences. Just two fighters putting it all into the ring in front of a massive live and tv audience.
A good night for the sport :ROCK:

Big respect to both guys.

I'm amazed at some of the shots Joshua ate. He's now been hit flush about as hard as he will ever get hit. And he knows now he can get through it. This dude is going to reign.

Swing and pray master Deontay Wilderito will put AJ in coma like he did to Szpilka. Wlad, who pop out his right 2-3 times in round broke AJ. Wilder who use his right almost everytime he uses jab will be big ass problem for AJ. Wilders one two with the hook at the end is destroying.

Let's act like Wilder has 30% of Wlad skillset.

[BillyBoxing]

AJ was winning the 1st 5 rounds, the knockdown occurred in the 6th, he took a break for the next 3 rounds, he started throwing again in round 9, then finished him in the 11th.

Still hard for you to give Klit credit.

Dude fought a young lion with olympic predigree and almost beat him at 41 years but still btchin.

You're ridiculous trying to paint this fight as a shut out, it wasn't, you're being a sht poster as usual.

[Been-Rumbled]

I think Wilder would be much easier for Joshua. Wilder swings where as AJ is relatively compact (for a HW) using mostly straight rights as his big danger shot- I can't see the wide hooks of Wilder being a consistent problem, though a wild shot could catch anyone at any time obviously. It was that WK right hand that caught him flush because it surprised him- I don't see Wilder as good enough a technical boxer to actually catch him out with shots like that.

Joshua's hardly technically perfect but I think he showed that he has good footwork and movement when he was dealing with Wlad, who showed how impressive he is at keeping and judging his distance- he must be really difficult to catch even when his jab wasn't going strong like last night.
