    Had Joshua up by a point. Scoring was fair, do not know what the hell you're talking about. There are enough fights where this really is not the case.

    I scored first 5 to AJ, second 5 to Wlad with 5 being a 10/9 and 6 being a 10/8 so had Wlad by 1

    How is it 'the UK'? The judges are not from the UK.

    They're still scoring in the UK. I don't think it's just been strictly Brits that have given Burns his last few generous scorecards but it's taken place in the UK. My point is that us Brits always moan about Germany being impossible to get a fair decision when the UK is just as difficult

    I had wlad up by 2 i think...he was outboxing joshua at times. Compubox isnt always reliable for judging a fight. To me wlad was outboxing him...joshua got his punch stats up by hitting in combinations.

    I think effective aggresion slightly favoured klitchko. Eg...say hes won four exchanges by jabbing. In the fifth exchange wlad jabs then joshua hits back with 4 or 5 punches in close. Is that even or is klitchkos boxing more effective. I tend to favour klitchkos work. Found it hard to score it for joshua. These judges always have one score correct. Then the other two are trying to find ways to get the win or even a draw. Even in fights someones losing badly they try and still make it possible for them to get a win/draw. Say its round 8....they just let there be 3 points in it...so if they have a good last few rounds they can still get a win. Then they just give up the ghost if its too big a gap.

    Nothing wrong with the scorecards.

    Rounds 1,2,3,4 were very close but AJ was the more active fighter.

    Round 5 was the knockdown round for AJ. ( maybe a 10-9 round )

    Round 6 was the knockdown round for Wlad.

    Rounds 7 and 8 for Wlad, easy to score.

    Round 9 for AJ, he was the more active fighter.

    Round 10 for Wlad, cleaner punches, easy to score.

    95-93 ( 95-94 ) for AJ.

    Joshua arguably won all of the first 5 rounds. I had them even going into 11.

    I had WK winning quite wide up until the stoppage. Joshua looked sloppy for large spurts.. People need to go to spec-savers! That was almost a clinic by WK at times..

    Even all the pundits on biased ass BBC radio 5 live had WK winning wide going into 11. I listened to it on the radio as i was on holiday at the time & watched it on Monday.

    It's interesting so many people are giving 5 to AJ, aside from dropping WK (so -1 for WK) Klitschko beat the pants off a gassed AJ in that round, it would have easily been a 10-9 round to WK aside from the knock down. 9-9 round for me, with it looking like it could get close to being a 9-8 round if not a TKO.
