    Watched the whole thing and the Steelhammer looked tip top. Joshua is in trouble, believe me.

    Not Wlad's MO.

    I think a 1-2 will set AJ to get KO'd.

    Wlad looked great but he still has to actually fight a certain style that will press him.I expect a war maybe world war 3. Wow......i have a feeling this is ending in a k.o before 7th rnd,just two massive punchers ones bound to have their lights put out.

    Wlad looked good, still has quick feet at 41, hand speed is still there too but hitting the pads and fighting are two completely different things. It seemed Joshua was purposefully not giving away much in his workout.

    AJ much better power efficiency.
    Wlads trainer was too close to him with the pads, making the speed more artificial in a way because the punches were so short. AJ is working with a much wide radius of explosive distance.

    Klitschkos power is not stopping AJ from closing the distancing and landing huge punches.

    AJ Stoppage 5

    Funny how people are changing their minds because of a public workout.

    Yeah to me the jab will be the difference in the fight, if it's strong that's the way Wlad will win. If not he's toast

    They should watch and study actual fights of both and not their workouts.

    Don't need to watch the workout. I am picking Wlad regardless. I like Joshua but he has not shown me that he brings anything to trouble even 50% Wlaady.

    Wlad looks sharp, quick, relaxed and loose with his punches. If that continues for the actual fight, he will win.

    I expect to see him snapping it out there. Hooking off it too. He knows he's gotta get that respect early.

    I haven't seen Vlad look this good in a long time, perhaps better than ever!!!!!!! His balance is excellent, his footwork is fast, smooth, he has been practicing his head movement, he is very light on his feet, his hand speed is really good, he is ripped for this fight. Vlad is really pumped up. I feel confident that Vlad will out box Joshua easier than anyone thinks. Just saw an interview with Vitali today, new one, Vitali is confident, when asked about how dangerous Joshua would be early, Vitali said Vlad will be dangerous early, said some things that he would know, I remember when Vlad sparred Joshua in camp not that long ago, it was no contest. I also saw Camerelle out box Joshua quite easily in the Olympics, but the home town judges gave a decision to Joshua, Camerelle deserved the decision, also, watch Whyte stagger/hurt Joshua with a left hook, Whyte can't fight, he has no power, but Vlad is in a total different class, not only with skills, but size and power, if Vlad lands a left hook on Joshua, it will be lights out. Vlad has also been giving some angles, Vlad might be aggressive like he was against Derrick Jefferson, Jameel McCline, and Ray Austin, both Jefferson and McCline were at their peak, huge power punchers, stars on HBO, Ray Austin was pretty good boxer at the time also, five left hooks in a row, knocked out Austin in the second round. Vlad did not throw one right hand...........................watch Vlad Vs. Shufford, Vlad threw the shortest left hook I have ever seen for any weight................Vlad seems to have a spark that he did not have before. Watching him today made me feel confident that he will win this fight, Vitali is very confident, he knows something nobody else knows, as well he should, there is a reason for such. Vitali tells the truth, if he though Vlad would lose this fight he would have said so. He said earlier that if Vlad is focused, he will win the fight easily.............Vitali said that Vlad is focused.................I believe him. All humans are subject to self-rationalization, we all are, but using logic, without emotion, I don't see how Vlad can't win this fight. I have not been that confident until today. I know why Vlad lost to Fury, it was not Fury, it was Vlad, personal problems, plus Vlad had been uninterested in boxing the last two fights......................his mind was not in the ring with him...................we will see, but I think Vlad will win this fight afterall................
