So looking back at the Klitscko stoppage it looked very premature to me

[NahMean]

Eddie Hearn paid Vlad to take that uppercut.. its so obvious, Vlad wasn't even hurt. Vlad took a dive because Hearn paid him off. I use to respect Vlad but its a shame he's a sellout.

That why Vlad didn't complain about the stoppage because he got paid.

Absolute clowns thinking that was premature... What did wlad throw back, F.A. Salty fkers

[Larry the boss]

Wlad got the dog **** beat out of him in the 11th and was done

[SensFullViolenc]

Yes, Wlad was slipping some, but he was also getting hit.

Was it a bit premature? Judgement call.

But Wlad was done. If the stoppage was premature it just saved Wlad from unnecessary beating.

Get over it

He wasn't hurt...doesn't have to be throwing back, his eyes were clear and he was just leaning against the ropes. You're the salty one who denies what happened in front of your eyes.

This is what pisses me off....the referee isn't a psychic...it's what is happening at that moment...not if and when....AJ was landing **** all

[SensFullViolenc]

At the very most, maybe Klit barely survives the round. Only via miraculous turnaround does he KO AJ and win. Most likely it gets stopped a few seconds later.

Maybe it was premature, but it only saved Wlad dome brain cells. To me, that's an acceptable stoppage

[HarvardBlue]

Klitschko was already down twice in that round. The first time he was unsteady legs. The second time he was recovering but he still went down again. When the fight was stopped he was stuck in the corner and he wasn't trying to get out of there. Some people are confusing wishful thinking with safety. It's wishful thinking that would have recovered and ended the fight on his feet or turn the tide and stop Joshua. The ref's job is to ensure safety over wishful thinking. God forbid the ref allowed the fight to go on and he gets hurt. Those same people would be calling for his head.

[Buckfever]

He was done, pretty much defenseless.

typical British stoppage - someone's winging punches not even hitting the opponent, and the ref stops it

If the ref wanted to stop it after the 2nd knockdown, that's one thing. But to let the fight go on, then have AJ hit Wlad a few times in the arms and stop it is ridiculous.
