Anthony Joshua vs Wladimir Klitschko Fight of the year

[Mac4Lyfe]

Boxing still >>>> MMA

I like and appreciate both BUT there is nothing that compares to a big boxing match. I use to go to all the Tyson fights back in the day and it was incredible. The sights before and after the fight was unreal. We need some new blood into the heavyweight division. This was a great night for boxing. I'm looking forward to next week with Canelo and Chavez.

Great fight.

Boxing far from dead.

this fight was reason why so many shitty fights continue to attract crowds and make money

90 thousand people in the stands, what a joke but was all worth it because fighters put up a show for the ages

What were you watching? Joshua dominated the first 5 rounds and they basically split the other rounds. Joshua was killing Klit with power shots the entire fight. No way in hell would Wlad get any decision last night after losing the 6 of the first 7 rounds. Klit came back in those middle rounds but he fell way too far behind to win a decision. He needed a knockout after the 8th round. Even his corner kept telling him that he was way behind. How you had it even is perplexing???

This was a great fight. One of the best of the year but there's been some awfully good fights this year. Chocolatito vs the kid from Thailand was clearly fight of the year and GGG's last fight was incredible as well. The great thing about this fight was that it was a great fight in the heavyweight division. That's what we want to see. Huge brawlers going at it in a death match where we don't get a controversial decision. Like George Foreman once said... "I don't judge fights, I judge knockouts". Both fighters faced incredible adversity and came back and continued.

Anybody that thinks boxing is dead, is just a hater. There's great fights every weekend but you have to actually watch.

Klitschko clearly won rounds 6 & 7, plus 1 point for the knockdown in round 6. Joshua was in survival mode for most of those 2 rounds. 2 of the judges scored the 5th round as even with Joshua getting 1 point for the knockdown. I scored the 5th round as they did. I have no idea how anyone thinks Joshua won 6 of the 1st 7 rounds - because it clearly didn't happen.

I think rematch will be very bad for klitschko, one of those things where he had to use his veteran skills to win that first fight. The second one is going to be a lot of tougher for him now, going to be ugly.
