Pulev landed 30 50 cals on Wlad. If Joshua lands a single NUKE, it's Sanders all over again. Joshua's power is no less than 3X greater.
I am not sold that AJ is the new HW overlord but my gut does tell me an AJ mid round KO right now, moreso from Klitschko's latest (not just against Fury) form combined with what Joshua brings to the table.
I think joshua is too slow and orthodox to trouble wlad who struggles with unorthodox movers Doubt joshua has the ring generalship or concept of distance to keep wlad from being effective
Going with Vlad but am far from confident about it. I think he still has enough to outbox Joshua, but he's definitely playing Urkrainian Roulette with Father Time.
Right now, I see Wladimir finding a home for his vaunted left hook in this one. How well AJ handles it will determine whether the fight even goes beyond 6 rounds. This is Wladimir's moment to let everyone know that "he's still here".
People thinking Klitschko will KO Joshua in a couple of rounds, bare this in mind It's taken Klitschko at least 4 rounds to beat everyone in the last decade including the likes of Mormeck, Lepai, Pienta, well past in Rahman. If anyone is ending this in the first couple of rounds, it's Joshua. I doubt Klitschko would have plucked up the courage to throw anything significant until at least half way through.
