Damn... Klitschko looking fast in public work out

As everyone has pointed out, we have all seen Klitschko fight, and this fight will be no different. He won't let his hands go. Once he is in the ring he does everything in his power to avoid boxing his opponent. That simply won't work against Joshua. This fight will be Klitschko's biggest embarrassment.

 

Exactly. This is totally different to having a live opponent who throws back.

 

I can't help but feel people who dismiss Wlad's chances are discounting how unique an opponent Fury was - fast (albeit light hitting) hands, ambidextrous, light on his feet, lots of off-tempo lateral movement. In my opinion, Wlad's gun-shy behaviour was largely because he could not time Fury's herky jerky stylings. Wlad came to fear throwing his own jab as he kept getting countered by another long, loose Fury jab from an unexpected angle.

Joshua, for all his power, is a far more linear fighter. He hits much, much harder than Fury but is far more predictable - steams straight in like an ebony monster truck. Wlad might well get knocked over in undignified fashion within a couple of rounds, but I cannot rule out the possibility that he will do what he did not so long ago against Pulev - step back and evade or step in and clinch until he gets his timing right, and then systematically break down Joshua - stepping back and catching him with hooks as he heedlessly runs in.

 

I wasn't only considering his last fight although it completely exposed his inadequacies with not being able to cheat.

yeah!!!!!!!

 

I'm not talking about his in fight workrate, I'm talking about his training regime, increasing his training is not going to solve any problems, that's my point.

 

Jim Jeffries looked awesome before Johnson whipped him

 

Yes, imagine if he could fight like that... if he could, he'd be on Aj level because Aj does bring his training into the ring
