Did AJ answer the questions tonight?

[Simurgh]

i don't know man, wlad is 41 and was out for almost 2 years. he almost stopped him in the same round where he went down, dropped him in the following round. i don't know why he didn't went for the kill in the seventh

people complain or criticize the klitschko's era for being weak, this one isn't that much stronger imo, the only one who poses a treat to AJ is ortiz to me.

Obviously, he can get better, but for his experience this is amazing!

You can train certain things, but not the guts to get up after that RIGHT and find the way to KO HOF.

Wlad looked very good and the way he fought was spot on. AJ found the way to win, and win in style.

[gmc_rfc_06]

I respect both fighters greatly, and AJ fought a great fight. But he did not answer questions. The way he gassed in the 5th and 6th was extremely troubling. Wlad knows that if he went for the kill in 6th and 7th he would have won.

That's entirely speculative.

He tried plenty of big left hooks looking for the stoppage and landed none, had he kept swinging he would have likely gassed.

Joshua didn't gas, he was rocked heavily and took a couple of rounds to get his legs back.

Yea. But there still are questions. Wlad was 41 coming off a long ass layoff and looked like he was on his way to victory.

AJ did stop him though so you cant take credit away.

Fury, AJ, Wilder, Ortiz, Haye > Klitschko era fighters. They absolutely ******. You remember how out of shape nearly every top contender was back then, how undersized they were?

[deathofaclown]

He answered questions about his heart to go through a long hard fight.

I don't think we can really say his chin is bad or good, he got hurt and got dropped but it's Wlad punching him who is a hell of a puncher himself when he connects.

How good is he? - Well some will say he beat and old Wladimir, which is true. I would say a mid 30's Wlad would have smashed Joshua tonight, but Joshua is still improving anyway.

Does he have vulnerabilities? absolutely, but it's HW boxing.

Yea exactly, glad I'm not the only one who noticed Wlad missing with the left hook over and over.

[Simurgh]

Some, not all.

We have yet to see him with a defensive mastermind and real killer like Tyson Fury.

Tyson's style is awful for anybody, but I am much less confident that Tyson beats AJ now. AJ will get only better, and I don't know if Fury will ever be what he was..

fury is a fat fuck and a coke head, wilder sucks and haye is part of the klitschko's era i mean, wlad beat him, right?. ortiz is the only treat to joshua imo

[bojangles1987]

Obviously there's no questioning he's the real deal anymore, but his stamina needs to improve. He almost lost because he gassed very early. Can't let that happen at this level. Just look at Wlad and his early losses.

AJ gain valuable experience! I think he should lean out to 240 but overall I favor AJ over all right now
