If the ref let it continue would Joshua have gassed out again?

    Joshua would have been in terrible trouble again very easily if Wlad had got to the last round. No question.

    Wlad was spent after the second knockdown in the round.

    Yes, Joshua was tired but Wlad was in a much worse state, more than in the 5th.

    Good stoppage. No complaints from Wlad's camp says they agreed

    I m not sure i agree mate. A lot of people missed it think froch caught it in his commentary...he got hit with i think it might have been a right hook. Thats when his stamina deserted him. If you get the chance watch it back. Thats how i saw it anyway...froch mentions it but sure it happened a little bit before it. The same thing that happened against dillon whyte. His stamina was fine...he got hit. Then it went.

    You might be right. Dillian Whyte hit him with that left hook. I just thought against Klitschko he got gassed. Hearns said he saw Joshua breathing heavy when Wladimir went down and shouted at him to calm down. you got to remember it's a big fight, he just knocked down Wladimir, maybe the whole emotion got to him. He did get hit though, he got hit with a few shots. It's not a good sign though that he loses total control of his legs and body when he gets hit. Reminds me a bit of Bruno, but even Bruno was able to take more punishment before he lost control.

    Wlad could barely hold himself up in the 11th, Joshua was
    mainly landing on arms and shoulders and Wlad was
    still falling all over himself. The fight was over.

    If the ref had let it continue, Wlad could have been badly hurt.

    There was nothing at all embarrassing for either fighter by the time the 11th round started. They had both made tremendously strong accounts of themselves.

    Please remember what happened in the Eubank vs Watson rematch
    and the uppercut Eubank hit Watson with and the aftermath.

    Fair enough, embarrassing isn't the right word. But he might have been facedown on the floor and unconscious

    His stamina is fine, the fact he's able to continue after loading up on all those shots and temporarily punching himself out is testament to this.

    He threw almost 200 punches in the first two rounds of the Whyte fight, all big shots. of course he will be tired, but someone with bad stamina does not come back from that.

    Sure hearn said today in an interview that it was a shot from wlad. I m pretty sure it was the first shot he hit him with when he was coming back that done the damage. Joshua done well to take more of the shots after cause they we,re decent shots...the one that done the damage didnt seem that heavy either or he took heavier after it anyway. I dont think its gonna take a lot to hurt him but because hes a proper unit with a decent bit of fight in him...its gonna probably take a lot to finish him. Yeah defo bruno...think the difference was bruno mentally lost it...it was like his brain shut down when he took the good shots. Whereas joshua appears still their mentally but its his physical attributes that goes by the looks of things...just my take on it mate.

    No problems with his heart anyway.

    His staminas very good...i think its the shots that kill his stamina. As you said he threw plenty against whyte his stamina was very good. But it was whytes punch that depleted it. He went from very good stamina...to hit with a shot...then nothing left in the tank for a couple of rounds. Thats gonna be his achilles heel.
