Anyone else surprised by how little he attempted to clinch last night? I'm guessing Joshua's height and weight played a big part but it was still good to see.

Great showing by Wlad.

He didn't try to hold the 11th when most normal fighters would have.

I did think that was strange.

Lots of boxers do the wrong thing when buzzed, experience can go out of the window sometimes.

Actually he tried to hold when AJ found that uppper cut

But the point is he didn't once he'd been hurt by that upper cut.

Ye i think wlad needed that fight to show all his skilks cause if fury was his last fight he would be thinking "how can i leave the sport on this performance" he suprised me with how much heart he had after being dropped 3 times by a big puncher and got up every time. If he had fought like this against fury i would of thought wlad would of beaten him but its all ifs and buts

I feel he responded to his critics. He fought a great fight last night. Why oh why he has failed to let his hands go in previous fights I will never know. He showed so much aggression last night. If he fought like that in just two or three more of his defenses he'd have much higher standing.

Letting Joshua off the hook was biggest mistake of his career. Holding or not, Joshua let his hands go like Joe Louis at the finish and nothing would have stopped him. Superb finishing instincts from Antony
