Did AJ answer the questions tonight?

[McNulty]

He proved a lot.

Took some bombs, recovered well from being badly hurt and carried that power into the final rounds.

He is the real deal.

He proved he's all hype and didn't follow his game plan.

Bad stoppage, those shots were blocked!

No matter what AJ does, people will always slag him off. Wlad's too old, he's fought bums, etc. The truth is, Wlad is no ordinary 41 year old. Everyone thought AJ would win early, or Wlad would win late. AJ has just proved he has it in the tank, and he can take a shot from one of the heaviest hitters in the HW division. Parker and Wilder should fight to face him next, and the winner of those two will be sparked out by AJ.

He looked absolutely horrible at times, but found a way to win.

I think he was exposed, he has an huge issue with movement and conditioning.

[NO/BS2468]

As powerful as Klitschko is, he is very limited, a more well rounded boxer like Luiz Ortiz would have taken out AJ.

+1

you should know Mcnulty, the game is the game, follow the money and you never know wher eit will take you

(hearn paid off the judges/the reff/maybe even wlad)

AJ matured as this fight went on. good for him to share a ring with Klitschko. Unbelievable experience.

[ROSS CALIFORNIA]

41 or not, that is not that old. Of course, I'm sure age played a factor into Klitschko losing in the end, but he is still a great fighter for a while. How he came back after being down in the same round, was amazing to see. And Joshua for being young and only having 18 fights up to that point and not facing the best of competition, he did pretty damn good. I think he did answer some questions. We know he can be hurt and go down, but he did show he could go on and that right hand, I'm surprised, didn't stop him or hurt him so bad he had nothing left. I think Joshua vs Wilder is a toss up and Joshua vs Furry might end with a Fury decision if Furry can come back and be as good as he was. I could also see Joshua learning a lot from this fight and still being the future even if he loses to Furry. He could still come back to beat Furry later on. He has time on his side.

[Simurgh]

Well... If people won't give him the respect and credit after this then they never will.
He won in a very impressive way IMO. I am more impressed than if he had blasted Wlad in 2.

I am sure when he beats Wilder and Ortiz, people will just say that Wilder is a bum and Ortiz is an old man.

[Godsfly]

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.

and thats what's impressive. joshua isn't some vet. or even a guy thats gone past the 7th. he has no clue about that. so for wlad (who has all of the experience in the world and still has a ton ton left) to take him there and he survives it & knocks wlad flat out in the 11th. impressive. honestly joshua is a kid. when he knocked wlad down the first time he actually thought it was over and already celebrating lol (he's a damn kid) so it's impressive and a learning experience. if wlad fights in a he'd be better.

AJ was razorclose to being stopped in 2 rounds, but damn he survived and came back, Kudos to him. Would have probably been destroyed by a younger prime Klitschko, still impressed and right now the #1 Heavyweight in the world, at least until Fury loses 100lb.
