Comments Thread For: Joshua: I Had To Dig Deep, Fought My Heart Out and Won

[Butch.McRae]

He did dig deep. I thought he was outta there after that knockdown

It was something special for me to see. It's hard for anyone to find their legs after a knockdown like the shot he took. He showed brains and composure taking those rounds off. His legs looked really fresh again by the 9th round. Stuff of champions

If you want to question Joshua, you can question the defense and the gas tank perhaps (although he showed a fantastic 2nd wind after looking gassed in the 5th-7th), but you can't question the guts or the chin after this one, those were proven to be legit I think.

I think he looked gassed due to a combination of the shots he took and being dizzy from celebrating. He jumped in the corner after Wladmir hit the canvas. I bet he was really light headed from the adrenaline. The muscle mass makes you more prone to dizziness. I actually think we saw he has pretty good stamina. His legs looked fresh in the last three rounds imo.

Great fight but still not that impressed with Joshua.

Why? Because he isnt black enough?

Yes he answered some questions tonight for sure...

people really dont get what boxing /being a fighter really is...todays fans look at flaws bc theres more fanboys than fight fans like back in the day. as a wlad fan he looked better than ever and thats bc he was forced to really witha superior opponeent.....

yes joshua like always who grew from fight toi fight just grew about 3x on this one. good luck defeating him...fought Wlads fight and STILL won.

Maybe because he fought an old fighter coming off of a 17 month layoff. But mainly because of the flaws I see in Joshua. He stands right in front of you. I was surprised how easy Wlad was able to back AJ up. Even early in the fight AJ was winning the fight mostly because of what Wlad wasn't doing more than what AJ was doing.

Have to give it to Joshua, he found a second wind and got the win. In difference to boxing scene's card, I actually had Klitschko up a round going into the 11th. I thought a few of those later rounds after it had evened out that Joshua was landing a REALLY good shot or two, but Klitschko was just a little more active. Either way, though. I think Wlad thought AJ had gassed for good when he turned it back on in the 11th. I did. He got a little careless and ate a big uppercut. All credit to Klitschko for not playing it safe in the last round. He may have been able to jab and grab to a victory. Little surprised how good Klitschko looked for fighting someone as menacing as Joshua. They couldn't have fought at a better time, really. Joshua is still a little green, and Wlad nearing (probably now) the end of his career. Pretty fair fight. GREAT FIGHT. I don't have much interest in Fury/Joshua next. Tyson wouldn't be the same quite yet and Anthony would demolish him. Wilder and Joshua is what everyone wants next. 2 dudes that can just step on the gas at a moment's notice and throw down. Joshua has already fought better opposition than Wilder, so I think this is a great next fight for both. Big ups to Klitschko here.

The ref helped him get up and carried him thru the 11th?!?!?

Fury would now beat Joshua easyily

No surprise Joshua KO's overrated old Klitschko easily in 11rds
Wlad was an average fighter who fought bums fpor 12 years maaking a fake rep as a huge puncher and a great champion. Nothing could be farther from the truth as the commie Wlad the Klit was just a big stiff who fought nothing but bums till Fury and Joshua stopped the commie cold. Fact
Good riddance to the commie fraud Sad Wlad and let freedom ring. Also of note Russia could bever come close to beating the USA in any war or conflict. All commies are fake AND FRAUDS.
