Did Anthony Joshua really gas out in round 5?

[Poppo168]

I'm still wondering how wlad lost this fight he seemed in control for large periods.
But wlad used his experience to tire josh out. Josh did well to weather storm and come back

Wlad lost the first 5 rounds straight, then was dominating from 6-8, 9 & 10 were quite even and then he couldn't deal with Joshua's energy and aggressiveness in the 11th

That's what I've noticed. He was already pretty tired but when he gets hurt he seems to lose all remaining energy

Now, i am not saying he wasn't slightly out of breath after the attack, but after watching round 5 again and listening to Froch commentary, i think it was a Wlad left hook that really put him on his jelly legs.

I don't deny he has stamina issues with all that muscle he carries, however, if you watch round 5 again i think it was wlads big shots that really hurt him?

Thoughts?

He got hit and he also gassed. You ca nsee it in round 6 as well where he is still trying to find his second wind. He doesn't get that till round 9.

Plus I was at the fight and sat just behind his corner men and they were worried about him running outta steam as early as round 3 or 4 when he pressed the attack. So it's a concern they obviously have in his fights.

His stamina is not very good but it was the punch that put him on wobbly legs.

Klitschko is lucky Joshua didn't just march to center ring and put it on him as soon as the first bell rung or he'd have been blasted out.

He couldn't do ANYTHING when joshua came forward and let his hands go.

But that's not josh style is it?
Josh was facing his best ever opponent so unlikely to throw caution to wind like that.
So josh was gassed without even taken a body punch? What if wklad had targeted boidy a bit?

It should be his style though, i made a thread pre fight that he should go straight at him because if he give him respect that'd let klitschko into the fight.

Joshua has flaws but he will improve.

How a fighter deals with adversity is a true testament to how Good he is. Gassed and hurt he somehow ground a way to by time until he could recuperate. He is a scary scary fighter.
