was joshua klitchko fight stopped prematurely

[moltres.]

i would of liked to have seen blows landed before the ref starts waving his hands.

joshua landed an uppercut maybe 30 secs previously which caused the stoppage basically.

but i think klit was defending when the fight was actually stopped. joshua didnt land hardly nothing when klitchko was on the ropes.

ive watched the stoppage twice.

what do you all think?

the stoppage could be good for klitchko as he wasnt ko'd unconscious and can fight again knowing he wasnt really badly ko'd.

[BrometheusBob.]

The particular moment of stoppage wasn't that great because Klitschko wasn't getting hit much, if at all, in that last exchange. But considering how much damage he took in that round and how few punches he landed in return.. I wasn't mad with it.

Not the best but far from the worst stoppage.

Well lets look at this again. Ok I only caught a body-shot, Wlad picked the wrong time to be slick he should of gone back to what worked for him and clinched.

when you sit on ropes and stop throwing back against someone like joshua youre in trouble. can say 'oh well nothing landed' but the point of ref jumping in is to stop that huge shot landing. fighters know the drill, if you dont throw back when wobbled its likely getting called off

[ARENA]

Doesn't really make a difference.
With 3:25 minutes left to fight, probably 2-3 points down on scorecards and barely standing, Klitschko had already lost the fight.

The difference here is Wladimir showed heart, Kovalev is a quitter.

You referring to me?

I don't think Ward vs Kovalev was "a good stoppage" but I do enjoy making fun of cry babies who act like it was the most disgraceful thing to have ever happened in history

Actually didn't prove anything since I just said, and have said in the past, that it was not the correct call.

I just know you have it out for me.
