Did Anthony Joshua really gas out in round 5?

[slimshandy69]

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

LMao if anything Joshua was losing the first 4 rounds, 3-1, as Klitscko landed better shots, otherwide it was tight and 2-2 would be wise.

How o earth did Joshua win the first 4 rounds???please elaborate?

[BrometheusBob.]

I think it's both. AJ gassed after unloading, and when Wlad noticed that he went in for the kill.

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

nothing like eating vicious punches to take you out of it for awhile and thats what really happened.

Round 1:
Wlad 8 landed (7 jabs 1 PP)
Joshua 9 landed (3 jabs 6 PP)

Round 2:
WK 4 (3 jabs 1 PP)
AJ 12 (7 jabs 5 PP)

Round 3:
WK 4 (3 Jabs 1 PP)
AJ 10 (4 jabs 6 PP)

Round 4:
WK 4 (2 jabs 2 PP)
AJ 12 (5 jabs 7 PP)

Round 5:
No point in talking about who was more efficient etc. Josh dropped Wlad so I give him that round even though Wlad ended the round strong (josh also outlanded him in the 5th)

No chance you can say Wlad landed the better shots when 3 out of 4 of them were jabs, Joshua out landed him with jabs and also power punches. I've watched it 3 times and came to the same conclusion every time. HBO had it the same as I did.

Now you elaborate how 4 punches landed on average for the first 4 rounds (3 of them being jabs) wins you the round..?

[JimRaynor]

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.

People seem to forget Corrie Sanders, Lamon Brewster and Ross Purrity

People seem to forget Oliver McCall

People seem to forget Neven Pajkic and Steve cunningham

Fighters improve they aren't the finished article at 18 fights.

Advising fighters to just go straight at Wlad is much easier said than done, and fighters have been trying to do that for the past 10 years and failed. Corrie Sanders is the only exception, against Brewster and Purity Klitschko gassed himself and lost from exhaustion than anything they were throwing.

Joshua came in strong right away several times during the fight and was fended off, but did succeed in the 5th and 11th. You also have to be mindful that Klitschko fights back and his left hook or right hand can put you on ***** street if you are careless bum rushing him.

He was tired before Wlad landed any shots. Those shots didn't help, but he was sluggish as soon as Wlad got up from that KD.

Wlad landed the better shots, and more eye catching shots in the first 4 rounds, those fictional cumputer box esque jabs mean nothing.

There is no way Wlad lost all 4 of the first rounds unless you hate a certain demographic of fighter...

He landed 4 punches each round which were nearly all jabs.. Joshua Clearly won the first 4, maybe I could give Wlad round 1 because at least the output was close but nothing more.

And hate the demographic? Don't try and make this a racial debate because i've given you facts to disprove your illogical scoring lmao.

[bboy80]

I personally think he gassed first then got caught.

After he knocked down Wlad, he took his mind off the game and was celebrating thinking he'd won. Wlad got up, and this drained AJ as the light at the end of the tunnel just went from his grasp. Standard mental fatigue psychology, add this to that fact he came in at his heaviest ever, and he'd just forced a Knocked via a barrage of punches.

Yeah he gassed imo.

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.

He figured it out in same fight. Must have good iQ
