Not too surprising (for "fans" on here) we have , so far 60% that are utterly clueless or (can't click the option correctly) that truly DKSAB, anyone truly believing wlad has any shot at being competitive with Aj are simply pathetic. There literally could NOT be a bigger mismatch created where fans actually convince themselves there's more than one (1) possible outcome. The ONLY possible result here is clearly t/ko Aj, some of you (lmfao MOST) have strong wishful thinking that has completely clouded the judgement brain node
It depends on if Wladimir really decline as much as he showed against Jennings, and Fury, or he was just not motivated for those fights. If it is the same Wladimir as even the one that fought Pulev I think Joshua has only a punchers chance against him. Wladimir's game is to perfect, and he is the master of outside fighting, and we all know Wladimir can tie up his oppoent perfectly on the inside. I am very confident of a Wladimir UD, or late KO win. Plus Joshua is doing exactly what Haye did, fighting C level opponents then trying it on with a world level skilled heavyweight(in this case a living legend unlike Haye).
How is my post flawed. I said that Joshua has hardly no head movement, something you agreed. The reasons of why he has no lateral doesn't deter the point of what I made. In the end the lack of lateral movement or the lack of anything could be exposed when the quality of your opponent is better. In this case the quality of wladimir is far more greater than anyone he has fought yet.
you claim hes easy to hit and no footwork i would call that HIGHLY flawed you dont have the understanding what hes actually doing.
I agree with a lot of your post, though l think Wlads no longer has the jab he used to have. Out jabbed by Fury and Pulev, jab MIA against Jennings. I think AJ will surprise some and win the battle of the jabs, Wlad has just declined too much. If Wlads wins it will be because he forces Joshua to be defensive by being first to the punch and smothering AJs counter, basically classic Wlad. AJ has defensive flaws and if Wlad tests that defense then AJ may come undone.
I didn't say he was easy to hit, I said he shows hardly no lateral movement. Obviously someone will take advantage of that one day.
Think Wlads style will be a nightmare for AJ. See Wlad winning on UD. Hope to be proved wrong though!
Fantastic. its been a long time since in the ring on fight night, but his body has had a nice break. he is sharp and focused and continues to get sharper and more focused everyday
Tell him he's got a lot of guys wishing him well. It would be fantastic to see him make another run at unifying and making history.
AJ is going to steamroll him. It will be a sad night, folks. Remember Rocky vs. Louis? It will be like that.
Remember Duran / Davey Moore? Old washed up great brought in as cannon fodder for slick, hard hitting champion? Larry Holmes / Mercer? Wlad's got the firepower to level any fighter in history, and the experience to work out how to apply that firepower. I think that he absolutely has a chance and that this is going to be Joshua's Corrie Sanders moment.
You're right. But, here's the big difference. Both Klitschko and AJ are of elite caliber (imo). Moore and Mercer aren't on their level. You can't get by a guy like AJ on experience alone. Just like Louis couldn't get by on his against Rocky. These are two great giants about to clash. One is in his athletic prime, the other is coming off a loss late in his career. This will be no blotch on Klitschkos record. He is a legend, and he's done everything you could ask. If he wins, I would be speechless. Stunned. But he won't. He will go out by KO round 7.
