Paddy? Yeah I think most people would have written AJ off by round 11, he was huffing and puffing, nowt left in the tank then bang! Klitschko did the river dance!
Fury pal. Klit was wining by 3 rounds for me. How did you see it? Fair play to aj, took the punches and kept going
Yeah I had Wlad in front by 2. Never saw AJ getting back into it just thought Wlad would see it out and bore his way through the last two rounds. Fury's a born and bred Manc by the way.
Didn't see any of it but it sounds like a cracker, I thought Joshua would win, I know **** all about boxing really but I'm a big fan of the bloke and expect him to be one of the greats. Nice to see a big fight happen without all the tedious he said she said bullshit beforehand.
Watched his interview with Rob Beckett and Romesh Rashanvaganvanani or wtf he's called. He said trash talking' not his style, cos he's crap at it He's probably the most likeable sportsman this country has to offer, I hope he goes on to dominate the division now.
So do I, he's likeable without being boring and has loads of talent. I think tonight shows a lot about him in that he's not just a ripped poser he can take his licks and get on with it, that was a question mark hanging over him I believe but he's answered it now.
What a fight, best I've seen for a while, AJ did well to recover from that knockdown punch although Klit should have tried to finish him. AJ's tactics were spot on after he was knocked down, took a few rounds to recover then BAM, get knocked the **** out..Huge respect to both fighters after that.
If Klitschko's follow up connected when AJ was on his way down, many folk would be talking about AJ being found out at the top level. That's the fine margins these boxers are dealing with at the top. Fury has already accepted AJ's challenge, mentally AJ will have to prepare for that one much more differently than this fight with Wlad.
That's a year off at least in my mind. Klitschko II will be up next before mandatories for both his WBA/IBF belts now. So Wlad, Pulev, someone else and then Fury I reckon. Fury's still banned like. Needs to do something about that.
Wlad 2 won't happen imo. It's a dead rubber of a fight that AJ doesn't need, he's not sewn up the division yet and Wlad really has nothing to offer other than another payday. He'll earn more in a fight against Fury.
You live in Cumbria no? Don't you spend your days dancing with Handkerchiefs and sticks or something?
Yes I went to Greece last year Tel and went one night to a beer festival where there were folk dancing on from around the world everybody watched and clapped all the different dances that were on then the Morris men came on beating each other with pick axe handles and they all just looked on in amazement, creased me up mate.
Wlad's rematch clause in the contract though and it's a fight Wlad needs. He either needs AJ, Fury or retirement. Don't think he's ready to go and I think he'll fancy another crack at AJ over trying to deal with Fury. Wouldn't do AJ any harm, bigger money than the original, the chance to be the man who retired Wlad and another 90,000 crowd. Big for his bank account and big for his legacy.
