    Well, there is something to be said for brinksmanship.

    Wlad was throwing the worst left hooks he ever threw his whole career. Joshua was ****ed and still avoided them. I also was screaming for him to close the show, to the point the neighbours no longer speak to me !

    He fought him in his 19th fight! If Klit was there for the taking why didn't Wilder fight him in one of his 38?

    One thing's for certain with Klitschko fans: They always have an excuse.

    If my auntie had a pair of bollocks she'd be my uncle

    That referee in the Takam fight was corrupt as hell. Did the IBF investigate the premature stoppage, or did the bodybuilder's promoter pay off the officials?

    How can an idiot like that work as the Mayor of Kiev, he should've been fired for that!

    then again, Vitali advising his work colleague not to knock out a grumpy office minion surely isnt bad career advice.

    Reffing in recent Joshua fights has definitely been shady, but there's only so much you can do in a fight before it crosses the threshold of acceptability. Parker will just have to ensure he's not put into situations where the ref can step in for whatever reason, and also prepare himself emotionally for the possibility of some shenanigans being pulled if Joshua looks likely to lose. He can't act aggrieved or incredulous because that'll only make him lose focus. Parker's going to fighting against a stacked deck, and he can't be naive enough to think otherwise.

    Guess people have already forgotten that Wlad was given long counts both times he was knocked down.

    Probably because it never happened.
