Incredible fight, far exceeded my expectations, both men raised their game and gave it their all. Wlad was just a little too far gone, Joshua proved he could take a punch and show tremendous heart, he was out on his feet at one point. Wlad showed so much skill as well and just fell short.
Looking at the replays, I thought the stoppage was early. Wlad was defending himself and still deflecting shots.
saddest thing in boxing to see a once great champion get sent off by KO but Wlad put up a great fight today against a younger, bigger and powerful opponent. Hopefully Joshua vs Wilder or Fury is next and we see a new king.
People say terrible stoppage, have you seen what has happened when joshua has his opponents on the rope like wlad.
Wlad should have jumped on him. Joshua was done. I was actually rooting for Wlad after he got up after getting knockdown. I didnt think Wlad had that in him, then i remembered my prediction thread, and thought **** this Joshua better win.
