    My thought exactly WTF are people getting so lost over watching pretty much every single fight ?

    Wlad leaves tonight with legacy enhanced IMO.

    He proved IMO that he is a better boxer than AJ, but ultimately couldn't pull the trigger when it mattered - where AJ could... and did.

    Well, round 7 & 8 Aj took OFF to recover, that won him the night. Very smart from his team. I'll agree, he was OUT during most of the 6th, no clue how he managed.

    I thought he did great considering, and showed he has a real champs mentality but he just looked past it physically to me. apart from the knock down and odd success he couldn't land when he wanted to, the reflexes were not there. five years ago Vlad would have landed again to finish AJ but he couldt do it, when he did try he missed. but his movement and ring craft was a lot better that expected, but without being able to land later in the fight it didnt mean much once Joshua recovered..

    According to CompuBox punch statistics, Joshua landed 107 of 355 punches (30 percent), and Klitschko landed 94 of 256 (37 percent), a far better showing than he had against Fury, against whom he landed just 52 punches
