The official A Joshua vs W Klitschko prediction thread

So you'll give AJ full credit should he come away the victor?

 

Picking AJ , not cause I think he is so great but cause Wlad has been done for 3+ years

 

Corner to Joshua?

Joshua's corner doesn't have anywhere near the experience of world championship heavyweight boxing!!

 

Specific point taken. I still believe McCracken is better for Joshua than Bashir and Banks are for Wlad and will be more effective in this particular matchup.

 

we shall see but wishfull thinking bro

 

You won't even remember your own name when Big George gets through with you, boy !

 

Vulnerable around the jaw section of the cranium

 

That depends on how Wlad looks. He's 41 and out of the ring for 1.5 years. But he's also not your normal 41 year old as he's in shape when not fighting.

If Wlad looks terrible, he can't get full credit.

 

Since both of them have been training and are fully prepared for the fight think that both will look good in an even competetive fight, but hope that wlad takes it

 

AJ ko 3 WK

A lot of people are basing this fight as a Joshua win because of Wladimir's performance against Fury. While that performace was very worrying, the difference between Fury and Joshua are huge. Was KLitshko totally shot and that's why he couldn't release his punches or was it because Fury kept himself active, kept moving, making it hard for Wladimir to throw punches. Joshua doesn't keep moving in the sense Fury does. Joshua doesn't even move his head that much, but Joshua is explosive. If Wladimir is shot and can't release his punches, then he's going to get stopped and it won't be long. I would say, a stoppage for Joshua in three rounds. If Wladimir has still got enough in the tank, then his jab alone could be hell for Joshua. He'll just get picked off with the jab. It should be a great fight. An old lion vs an up and coming lion. Normally it's the young lion that wins.
