Wlad got a pro-holding ref in Russia so i won't be surprised if he somehow manages to get this guy on his side Saturday night. It all comes down to whether the ref allows him to grope and molest Joshua. Just like with Pulev , Joshua won't know how to deal with it. It a different story if the ref is pro Joshua. Haye believes Wlad will be DQ'd.
I bet this referee is going to let Wlad octopus Joshua to death. What do you think? I wouldn't put much faith in anything Haye says. If we were to believe him he was going to unify all the belts and bring 'excitement' to the Division.
AJ loves to foul too, so if this referee ignores fouls, that could play out as being pro-AJ for sure. AJ loves his after-the-bell shots.
David Haye is clearly an idiot , i don't believe anything he says anymore ,but he has a good point. If the referee is quite like Mills Lane was , Wladimir could be disqualified in this fight. It all comes down to the referee , because Wladimir will hold a lot in this fight , even more than he usually does , because AJ is pushing forward and throwing punches unlike the most of the smaller opponents from Wladimir.
Wlad's defense and footwork are much better than Breazeale, who was not ranked in the top ten, and never will be. Breazeale was slow, could not counter, and was target practice. Joshua should have ended it sooner, but cursory enough let his foot off the gas a bit, suggesting he's not sure of his long-term stamina for 12 rounds and didn't want to get caught by something wild.
'I think Povetkin and Pulev are more dangerous." 'If AJ is the greatest HW youve even seen then you need to get out more. " sometimes the obvious is right in front of you.
I've got Wlad as well. AJ too inexperienced at this level, and doesn't possess any of the attributes Fury had to trouble Wlad.
If Vlad can get out of the early rnds he has a chance.AJ is powerful but not difficult to work out not tricky like fury .it will be tough for vlad to survive the early charge from Joshua but with the crowd screaming I see Joshua going crazy trying to blast out Vladimir if he can't and the fight go's into the second half AJ may run out of ideas and puff.?
