    WTF, on what planet should wlad win ? not even a prime best night of his life wlad would I expect to win against Aj.
    That'd be some serious talent face plant from AJ and a wlad no one had ever seen before, how is he ever going to stand up to more than a few clean straight rights, left hooks ? hell , I wonder is wlad can walk through a clean jab from AJ

    Wlad could well win.
    But that really means AJ isn't much good.
    There are still question marks against AJ but I suspect he's quite good. He's only getting better, while Wlad's getting older and rustier.
    I thought the fight was 50-50 if it happened this month, maybe slightly to Wlad's favour, but with AJ staying active and meeting Wlad in April that swings it towards AJ, assuming he looks okay and wins against Molina at the weekend.

    LMAO!! "Not even prime Wlad is on AJ's level!!! Derrrp!!!" Dude your boy Joshua has been hurt AND blasted out by WAY, WAY lesser than Wladimir. You think Joshua will be upright when Wlad lands that left hook or straight??? You people are in for a RUDE AWAKENING come April. I can't wait!!

    Let's hope we see Wlad going for it cause in his last fight he couldn't pull the trigger.
    What a great undercard though,who else right now in boxing puts on cards like Eddie Hearn,he's passionate about boxing and clearly wants to be known as someone who wants to save boxing from going down the swanny,putting on good cards is one way of doing that.
    I'm sure I seen Scott Quigg on there too?

    I would tend to agree. Had the fight been set in December 2016, it's 50/50.

    But another 4 months of ring activity and Wlad at 41 is not a good thing for Wlad. He should take a quick and easy tune up vs aTop 30-50 ranked opponent who can't punch hard. If he wins, but struggles, RETIRE. If he looks good, press on.

    I hear AJ was KO'd in a sparring session not so long ago.

    To be simple it could be whoever lands their first hard shot is the likely winner here.

    It would definitely be a good win for Wlad if he can pull it off.
    I mean, although it would strongly suggest AJ is not as good as people say he is, it would be a good win over a hot 18-0 prospect/contender, at 41 years of age. That's a rare feat.

    Klitchko will beat him in a tough fight. People being fooled by klitchko being outplayed by furys movement...feints...and use of the longer reach here.

    Joshua wont pose the same kind of problems. For one his footworks not on furys level in terms of movement.

    Nothing Joshua has shown to this point against even his awful handpicked opponents suggests anything you just posted.

    I really think Wlad is going to let his hands go from now on. He KNOWS the mistake he made against Fury and it cost him the title. Joshua will give him an opening and Wlad will blast it. WATCH
