This fight only confirms that Fury would beat Joshua. Fury schooled klitschko in his own backyard. The amount of disservice shown to that victory is pathetic. Yes fair play to Joshua for getting back up, but his aura is gone.   Wilder is licking his lips and rightly so!

Joshua will reign for years. Only fighters out there who could give him a fight are Wilder, Ortiz and two Furys. Doubts over the futures of the Furys, Ortiz is old and Wilder can bang q bit but you would fancy Joshua to knock him out.

+1

Lads lets be honest Fury gave Wlad something nobody had ever seen before and he couldn't cope. Given his troubles is this going to happen again? No chance!

Fury will get himself in shape in the next 2/3 years but the hunger isn't there he won't be the same as he was. Truth is nobody in the division can touch AJ for the next 3-5 years and he will close the division for the foreseeable future.

Hugely enjoyable fight tonight though!

AJ was out on his feet in round 5 after a flurry of punches, he wasn't hit during that period and then stopped... would be worrying for his camp that he wasted so much energy and was drained, which left him open... but fair fecks to him, huge learning curve that he just about got over, he was behind on points before the knock down in the 11th

I've rewatched from the 11th on round a few times since & some point the commentators said Joshua was ahead 2-1 on the judges' scorecards, not sure if this was the unofficial ringside scores (Showtime's, Sky's & German TV's) as they were referring to these during the fight  or if they were the real judges' cards. I was a bit surprised myself tbh - unless I picked it up wrong.

Has anyone here actually seen Wilder? He's woeful.

Showtime showed the scorecards - two of them had AJ up. One scored the 5th 10-8 and the other a 10-9 after Wlad came back in it.

He's done what he's needed to do and knocked all bar one out. If he hits Joshua, he definitely won't let him off the hook like Wlad and Whyte. It's silly to say he's woeful, yes he is wreckless looking at times but anyone carrying a punch like his is a huge threat, especially to someone who is as easy to hit as Joshua.

The bookies had him 2/1 and Klit 1/3 at the 11th round, they usually are a good judge (no pun)

I don't think he is that good at the minute. The standard of the HW division is shite though so he will probably be on top for a while. Big questions over his endurance though. A younger Klitschko wouldn't have let him off the hook after the knock down. Fair played to him, he is now a global superstar and is going to start making mega bucks. As someone said last night, the fight game is the one mainstream sport that they truly deserve their paycheque!

Judges had joshua ahead tho (2-1) and theyre maybe a bit more important when judging who wins the fight. Imo

So what did Klitschko have on that usb stick?

That may be true but you'd fancy a 1/3 over a 2/1 surely??

I'd a fiver on Wlad to win on points and up to that point the cash out was 5/2 ... anyways it was up to that point for me very even. Do you get to see what the actual judges scorecards were at that point?

[imtommygunn]

That picture is real. Any normal person could have ended up decapitated!!

[Tony Baloney]

Is this fight still accessible on any streams? Would like to rewatch it without a Guinness haze

Think you do. One had joshua ahead by 3pts which seemed generous other two were identical and closer, one for each boxer
