    95-93 (twice) for AJ.
    95-93 Wlad on 3rd.

    AJ still would've retained the title if it lasted full 12 rounds without KDs after 10th.

    Yes I disagree with 2 of those cards.

    I had Wlad up 1 point going into the 11th...

    But its hardly surprising that judges edge it to the hometown fighter.

    A couple swing rounds, but not surprised to see Joshua was up. I think I had it 95-94 Wlad going into the 11th.

    Well even if Wlad had survived the 11th he would have almost certainly lost because of then knock downs, can't argue with the cards most people had a round up for either guy.

    I had Wlad up two, very disappointed but not surprised when they showed the cards. They gave all the close rounds to AJ. Still, even if Wlad survived, he would have lost due to the kds in the 11th. And even without them, the fight was close enough that I wouldn't have called it a robbery.

    The judges must have missed the jabs Klit was landing

    I had it even going into the 11th, it was clearly a close fight, but I think the momentum was with Wlad until Joshua connected in the 11th.

    Joshua came back well in 9 and 10, I had him up by 2.

    I thought Wlad was up by a round, not much in it.

    Doesn't matter too much in the grand scheme of things when AJ bounced Wlad up and down.

    Yes, and AJ in any case would've won 11 and 12 even if he didn't land that damaging shots, on activity alone.

    I just can't believe the fight was so back and for, I never expected this in a million years. I am stunned. No chance of getting to sleep tonight my heart is still racing and the fight was over an hour ago.

    To be fair, AJ was coming on late.

    Proves to anyone coming to London you got to knock him out. No chance of a decision win.

    Klit won every round apart from the 5th, 9th and 11th. Joshua looked terrible from the start, wild punches on Klit's arms, hesitant, stiff and landing nothing. The judges gave Joshua the first five rounds, which is ridiculous. Wlad won those rounds with his jab.

    How can anyone call the judges "Hometowners" when all three were from overseas with two of them and the Ref being from the USA.

    Give your heads a shake!
