2nd round
Klitschko started the round by landing a solid right to the face of Joshua. Joshua has settled down in the round and starting to find more of a home for his jab. Not really anything to the body this round from Joshua

3rd round
Joshua starts out being more active backing Klitschko up. Joshua throwing combinations and is going back to the body. All of the punches aren’t landing but Klitschko is backing up and not throwing back. You have to wonder if Klitschko trying to save some for the middle to later rounds.
Joshua 10-9
4th round
Klitschko opens around round with a vicious 1-2 and it seems to have slowed Joshua up early on. Joshua fires back with his own overhead right but Kiltschko has assumed control of the round. Joshua would be served to fire that right to the body even more. Best round of the fight by Klitschko.

This time Joshua comes out fast!! Klitschko is down!!! All power punches by Joshua. Klitschko is cut over the left. Klitschko did land a really good left. You wonder if Joshua is a little punch weary. And now Joshua looks hurt. Both fighters firing!!! Both look exhausted!

6th round
Klitschko came out bouncing on his feet. Klitschko lands another big right. It’s landed time and time again. Joshua looks very tired. Now Klitschko shoots his own shot to the body and to the head and now Joshua is down!!! Joshua looks hurt. The right hand still has a home and Joshua is struggling mightily. Could knocking down Klitschko been a bad thing for Joshua?
Klitschko 10-8
7th round
Klitschko’s jab once again is finding a home. Klitschko throwing that left hook quite a bit. Will it land big? Earlier in the fight, Joshua was jabbing with the jabber. Now he’s yapper and the jabber lands his jab. Joshua finally facing adversity and he hasn’t dealt with it well thus far. And, of course, Joshua lands a shot (laugh) but still Klitschko’s round

Klitschko, again, starts off the round better. Joshua finally goes back to the body in the round. Where has that been? But as Joshua paws the jab while Klitschko lands his. Close round but I give the edge to Klitschko
