    Horrible stoppage.. Wlad had shown he could come back from a KD already in the fight. It's the 11th round in championship fight and none of the last shots landed.

    Bad stoppage. Great fight though... that Wlad got UP from that shot tells you he has more chin than people gave him credit for.

    Did you see that uppercut?. He was badly hurt after being dropped twice. Do you really need a third drop? What of he got up.. Does he need to keep getting dropped until he's dead and can't get up.

    Yes, I think it was an early stoppage. Not outrageous, but definitely too soon. Vlad had all his faculties and was still boxing, still evading. Should have let it to on until the next big shot.

    Wouldn't have mattered, 3 knock downs is enough to call off a fight.

    That Uppercut was monsterous. I just thought he should be given the chance to ride the storm knowing Joshua gets tired. It wasn't a bad stoppage though, it's not one i'll go crazy about. The finish was devastating. A bit like Mike Tyson ;)

    I think this is right,

    With so much back-and-forth in that fight of course there's the thought that it could've happened again but I think Wlad was done

    Yea true but Vlad recovered real quick in the 5 round KD.. He came back and jabbed the hell out of AJ in the later rounds of 5. But Vlad had nothing left in round 11 after being dropped, he wasn't throwing punches and he didn't even have the evergy to clinch AJ and wasn't defending himself as AJ blasted him in the ropes. It should have been stopped earlier.. The ref gave Vlad a lot of extra time after the KO's. But Vlad has a granite chin! How he was able to take that uppercut and stay on his feet is some mutant sh!t. He almost took his head off.

    No way was it a bad stoppage. Perfect timing to be honest as Wlad was gone. He wouldn't have survived another big shot.

    Some people just want to see boxers cold on the floor. Pathetic
