Great fight. I seriously doubt Klitschko was winning after 11, but the fight was stopped too early. Joshua missed on 3 haymakers and started sucking wind. That was a draining amount of punches that weren't connecting against the ropes and I wish we could have had a chance for a desperate round 12.

That was one HELL of a fight. It's why I'm such a huge boxing fan. I also thought the fight was stopped a little early but even as a VK fan I don't think the outcome would have been any different. Vlad just waited too late to start punching.

I'd LOVE to see AJ fight Wilder. He was clearly winded several times in this fight and I personally don't think he could handle Wilder's punch output. For a heavyweight, Deyontay is a punching machine.


The HW division is ALIVE!!!

And Lampley made the comment in the first round that the ref is known for letting fights go too long before stopping them.

AJ is a better boxer than wilder with the power to match

Wilder is way to wild in the ring not to forget he's beat a bunch of bums

Yeah I think Wilder would get smashed by AJ... I could see Ortiz or Fury giving AJ problems though. So excited to see the heavyweights back. Now on to Canelo vs Chavez next week!!!!

Mate I stayed in Wlad's "11 Mirrors" design hotel in Kyiv this past September - it was truly lofty - our butler Constantine played MLS with Brian McBride

For the pic!

This fight was awesome! Probably did get ended to soon but two badass heavyweights went at it and it had a real heavyweight feel like in the 80s!

AJ is bad motherfricker!

How often are fights in Vegas

Not headliner- I don't have that coin

Thought it would be cool to see one when I am there in August

I think they mainly just do bigger fights in Vegas but I definitely do not know for sure!

Joshua is a big guy with some talent but he has a long way to go. The dude struggled with a 41 year old shot heavyweight coming off a 17 month layoff that could barely throw a punch in his last two fights.

He's flawed but that will make him exciting, similar to Wilder. That fight needs to happen but don't make plans to see it just yet. With both of their glass jaws, they may knock each other down at the same time like in Rocky II.

I would LOVE to see Chavez pull it off. But he hasn't fought below 168 in so long....he'll need some of that Memo Heredia "special shake" recipe.

During the interview with Kellerman, you can really tell Chavez visibly irritates Canelo. Should be a real good fight.

Two Mexican fighters... there will be blood.

Chavez Jr is nowhere close in skill to Canelo. Only advantage he has is size.

Chavez is in killer shape right now though... A motivated Chavez is scary ask Andy Lee.
