I had it even going into the 11th. Obviously, if Wlad had survived the 11th he'd have suffered a 10-7 round so he'd have needed equally good in the 12th just to draw on my card.
Thought Joshua pretty clearly took the 3rd. He certainly outworked Wlad in that frame and landed enough cuffing shots to overcome the jabs that Klit landed. I do agree that Wlad should have had at least a split on the cards after 4, depending on how you scored the feeling out first and I did have Wlad slightly ahead going into the 11th.
That would have been another injustice, in my eyes, if it had gone to the score cards. I had Wlad up as did the rest of my party.
Agree, good official selection with three fair, independent and neutral judges. Makes you wonder why loaded dice Ward is so against the idea of the same for his rematch with Kovalev???
That's part of the reason I stated WK made a mistake by not going for the kill when he had a chance. With Joshua's power and "home crowd" behind him Vlad needed the stoppage as soon as he had the chance. He fought not to lose and that was his downfall. Either way, it was a good Heavyweight fight and AJ is good for boxing. The division just got interesting again.
I had Wlad 2 or 3pts up after 10 and if he survived the 11th with those kd than probably all square going into the last possibly AJ 1 point up.
