Good punch, aesthetically pleasing, but no KO power behind it. He threw it with speed, plus Klitschko's neck was "loose" (sounds stupid, I know). The timing was better than the power behind it.
Yea it was a instinctive shot thrown at speed. His natural relex led him to trow it I don’t really think he put power behind it, of course his normal punches have natural power behind them but he didn’t throw the uppercut with all his power.
See AJ attempting the same shot in round 5 in this highlights video at 2 min 13 sec watch?v=bOJYfe7qRks Good inside fighting instincts or he actually practiced the shot in training while trying to figure out a solution to Wlad's master clinching. Either way, it payed off. Massive respect to both for giving us such a legendary fight!
I firmly believe we can gather a class action as my neck still hurts from viewing as well. One of the most brutal yet beautifully placed uppercuts I've seen in a very long time.
