Just watched the Joshua v Klitschko fight
What a performance from AJ!

Now 19 wins 0 defeats with 19 knockouts, incredible record.

Has the potential to go down as the best heavyweight EVER imo

Unbelievable fight. Amazing stuff from both of them. Don't watch a ton of boxing but even so, never have I seen the likes of that fifth round before!

Great fight.Thought up until the 11th Klitschko was going to take it on points.

Fury v Joshua should be good if it comes off

I too thought that klitschko would have it on points but 2 of the 3 score cards had AJ in front.
Great fight tho
Well done AJ , thought Vladimir was a very nice guy afterwards
Well done both fighters 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

On some of the unofficial scorecards though they to had Klitschko winning it on points.For someone though aged 41 thought Klitschko gave a good account of himself.Joshua though impressed me with the way he came back strong late in the fight

Feel Fury V Joshua though will be epic

Outstanding fight, both men were warriors, Klitchsko at 41 should be extremely proud, but AJ wow, i thought he was dead and buried after the 5th but that 11th round was incredible

A credit to boxing. Thank goodness! I love the sport and the two of them did a great service to the sport.the great thing is there are so many good fights out there, and most involve Brits.joshua is at the top of the tree, but will Tyson fury get his head back together? Will klitschko want to carry on? Wilder guarantees a massive pay day in the u.s. David Haye is not finished, if hughie fury could win against Parker, if it happens, and Tony Belles and Dilian why're might have some part to play as well. Exciting times.

Plus not even mentioned selby, frampton, quit etc

AJ also did the hard way after coming back off the canvass. He had to dig deep to just keep in the fight. Then to win was sport, gut and character of the highest order. The fans in the bar I was in all went mental. So pleased for him. Well, both of them.

That tree hes at the top of wouldn't be the Joshua tree would it 😜

Thought Joshua looked pretty wooden at times, very straight up, no lateral movement against a 41 yr old who was lean and light on his feet.....the 5th and 6 th rounds amazing stuff, I thought if someone had opened a fire exit the breeze would have finished Joshua off as he looked completely spent and a dead man walking at the end of 6th.
The fight had turned Klitscho's way and looked to be a cruise to the finish line for him until that uppercut, then Joshua clicked into clinical mode and finished him off.

Some amazing character from both men........and when you compare Sanchez rolling on the floor holding his face when a ball hit him in the shoulder.. :B.

Respect to both men this evening.

Anthony is a vey talented boxer and vey strong indeed, he was tested last night and came through it after that barrage from Klitscho, I though Anthony was done after that, he came back strong and fully deserved the win, he's shown he has heart and can take a punch, I can only see one winner if Fury gets back in shape and that's Anthony Joshua!

Joshua had to step up in the 5th round, and he did.  He thought he might have won after the knock-down.  He looked tired after that for the rest of the round and got into trouble.  AJ said afterwards that he might have over-trained.  (His fight prep in Sheffield looked incredibly hard).

Some boxing writers thought that he lost concentration in the 5th, or was feeling the additional pounds in weight.  I thought (just my view) that the sudden multiple attack took a lot out of him physically and mentally. He took time to get his energy levels and composure back.   The knock-down in the 6th made recovery so much harder!

Great credit to him for coming back and winning.  He wanted to win so much.  Character does matter.
