    He definitely tried to finish.

    If any of those left hooks landed he would've sent Josh to the moon.

      True fact: a fact is only true if it's irrefutable. Reality is you wish Wlad finished Joshua when he had him hurt. You wished one of the punches he was missing would have landed. If he could have finished the fight he would have done it.

        Heres the thing as well.

        Do people remember what happens when Wlad goes gung ho trying to finish a fight?

        Wlad does. He gasses. He gets stopped. He learned from brutal experience that you need to conserve your energy. Thats why he didnt go all out.

        AJ almost learned that same lesson in the 5th/6th.

        Wlad was trying to pick his moments and end it, but AJ was smart to it even as ****ed as he was.

          it's just too easy to dodge Klit's punches because he has no body variations.


          it's all 1-2 head shots. legit. so all anthony had to do was wear ear muffs or bend low. klit is very very basic in terms of punch selection.

            Myth.

            He was launching big left hook after big left hook in search of the KO. Joshua avoided them and kept his cool while on unsteady legs.

            Wlad hasn't been a combination puncher for over a decade. Even with a hurt opponent, he looks for big single shots to close the show. Joshua on the other hand throws hurtful combinations when he smells blood.

              Wlad said post fight that he could have tried harder to finish Jousha, and also that he felt it was his night, so he took his time, basically saying he went into cruise control for the next few rounds, which inturn allowed Jousha to catch his breath

              He also said he still feels Jousha is vulnerable and needs to fix that

              Wlad should have gone in for the kill

                It's obvious Eddie Hearn paid Vlad off to take it easy on AJ. Lol

                  Wlad did let AJ off the hook. The rounds following the KD he barely threw any punches and it let AJ back in the fight. I know Wlad is not a combination puncher but AJ likes to leave his left hand down too low. Wlad could of landed that straight right on a tired AJ but didn't really try. It let AJ get his 2nd wind which started in round 10 when AJ started throwing more combination punches.

                    Yep spot on. What people are saying is that they want Wlad to abandon the caution that made him the fighter he was in his prime.

                    He knows he doesnt have the gas tank to go balls out for the KO. It was proved to him many times when he was AJ's age. Staying composed and trying to pick his shots was his best option

                      **** man, with sig like that you can say whatever the **** you like.



                      Seriously though, this guy's right. Wlad did some Wlad **** Wlad fans should have been expecting. The whole damn time he was champion people were complaining about how much carrying he does. Well, he thought it was time to carry AJ and got KTFO for it. Simple.
