At the end of round 10, how did you score the fight? The official scorecards were 96-93 Joshua, 95-93 Joshua, 95-93 Wlad. I had it 96-93 Wlad. Fight started off very close but Wlad quickly established the centre of the ring and made Joshua box on the backfoot, something he isnt use to and isn't his greatest asset! Then Joshua gave a few rounds away after 5, using time to recover to give one big final round. Some of the early rounds were very close so there's probably a few different opinions floating around! How did you have it?
I had it the same as Steve Farhood. Klitschko up one point. I could totally see someone having it even or Joshua up one point also.
I had Joshua up, thought it was pretty clear that he was ahead on score cards, he had better jab and threw more power punches.
Glad it didn't go to the judges, would have been controversial. Think I had Wlad up by one going into the 11th round.
I just rewatched it. AJ 93 Wlad 95 1 Aj edged it Wlad landed slightly more shots, mostly jabs, AJ had a single power punch that nicked it for him imo 2. Wlad edged it. Round one in reverse. Both rounds were very close and could easily be scored either way. 3. AJ, probably the clearest round for either to that point. 4. Wlad barely. AJ had better work except for a single awesome, hurtful right by Wlad which nicked him the round imo.(except for maybe 3, any of the first 4 rounds could fairly be given to either fighter) 5. 10/8 AJ. Could be scored 10/9, because Wlad almost had AJ out on his feet later in round, but the other rounds were close enough that i thought to be cautious and give the traditional kd round score. 6. 10/8 Wlad. Nothing to say here. 7. Wlad in control, no real debate. 8. Wlad, see above. 9. AJ. Landed the harder punches, some good body work 10. Wlad. A great one two at the end won him a close round.
If it went 12, I don't think I'd question why Joshua won because of the knock downs he got in round 11. Think that brings my scorecards to a draw going into 12th and would have made all of the official cards in favour of Joshua I think!
97-93 Klitschko Klitschko won the second round, and was winning after he was knocked down right up to the eleventh round. Was the superior boxer, but he got caught.
