If Wlad was younger, that right hand in the 6th would have finished Joshua.

    If not, Wlad would have finished him that round for sure. Joshua looked like David Price that round, gassing like nobody's business. It was crazy how AJ recovered from that punch and the exhaustion. I honestly thought Wlad was going to win after that punch connected.

    Crazy.

    Joshua looked like his gas tank had completely depleted. How he survived that round, I still have no idea.

    Wlad will be livid with himself. He'll know he had him and let it go.

    Amazed that both of them survived at all, the action in round 5 and 6 was insane and they went all the way to the 11th.

    Crazy fight, I would gladly pay for the rematch.

    I'm an objective guy!

    Wlad was great tonight, despite losing.

    Joshua would always beat Wlad I believe and I'm not British nor do I think AJ is the second coming of Lewis.

    Clearly Wlad couldn't pull the trigger to finish the job. Joshua could......

    I do agree a younger, Manny Steward, Wlad - probably wins tonight.

    You are occasionally a objective guy.

    Let's be objective shall we?

    Youth is how he survived that round. Plus Wlad was too cautious and didn't want to waste too much energy trying to take him out.

    Which was a mistake, but obviously hindsight is a great thing.

    That was a big screw up by Wlad. He should have finished Joshua off right at that moment in round 6. His over cautious nature is annoying, he allowed Joshua to recover and up his fuel tank by not going for the kill.

    To be fair, Wlad has dominated for a decade.. he has looked very good, very bad, and very boring during that time from fight to fight. The Wlad this evening was one of the best Wlad's I can recall. The much younger Wlad didn't have the ring craft of the older wiser Wlad, so who knows what would have happened.
