Anthony Joshua vs. Wladimir Klitschko 2 Rematch Confirmed Happening

Wlad should just call it quits and become an Expendible. He'd make pretty good money and it would save him from another embarrassing highlight reel KO.

 

This is a 50/50 fight, all Vlad had to do when he had Joshua drunk, was to land a big body punch. Vlad needs to throw body punches in the rematch, Joshua will not expect it. They both can hurt each other, so this is the best fight at heavyweight out there......................Wilder will not fight Joshua, Vlad, or anyone who can punch back...............Wilder has a big mouth..............

 

Doesn't anyone have a can of bug spray or a fly swatter?

I already stomped on DinoRoach earlier and now he's scuttling around the floor on three legs with his stringy guts hanging out leaving slimy trails. Ew.

Somebody finish him off.

 

Yup, Wlad was hunting him down from the 5th, and Joshua wasn't firing much back. Watched this fight again, and noticed that Klitschko was doing really pretty good in the latter half of the fight.

I have three theories:

1) Wlad was right: AJ's mega muscles made him mega tired after he expended his stamina in nervous energy in the first five rounds
2) AJ has a great poker face and Wlad's right hand rocked him more than it seemed, and it took a while for AJ's head to clear
3) AJ respected Wlad's power after the KD and was reluctant to engage recklessly in case he got countered again.

Another thing I noticed was that Wlad adjusted in the fight. That freaking leaping left hook he was throwing and missing over and over early in the fight was replaced by a straighter jab, which was disrupting AJ's attack and winning him rounds. Wlad was doing good work inside with his flurries of short chopping punches before tying AJ up.

I think AJ was doing the right thing in the end. Husbanding his energy and waiting for a gap for a good counter attack.

Wlad can totally win the rematch, and I think it will be an even better fight than the first.

 

In Wilder's case, he's been ducking the entire top 10, so, yes

 

AJ will have learned more from 11 rounds against Wlad than in his whole career so far.
He made mistakes, punched himself out and gassed terribly in the 5th, thankfully his youth saved him and he recovered enough to go again in the 11th and finish the job.
Make no bones about it, i was 100% convinced AJ was finished for the majority of the 5th and all of the 6th and i had Klitschko up by 1 on the cards.

Wlad rolled back the years for one last incredible performance, he moved brilliantly, showed he has a better chin than most thought and that right hand was dynamite. The uppercut in the 11th would have decapitated me and he took it unbelievably well for a 41 year old with a supoosedly dodgy set of whiskers.

But all that will have happened since is AJ will have improved, he will have tided up his mistakes so there arent gaping flaws in his defence - his defence probably wont be fantastic but it will be better, he will pace himself better and he will be more aware of how to get the job done. Every time he jumped on Wlad he got him on the canvas. He knows he can take him out and knows how to do it.

Wlad on the other hand is 41, a beating like the 11th round at his age doesn't serve him well, it will take a lot out of him. He will most likely not be able to roll back the years to produce another effort like that and even if he did, AJ (should) be better equipped to deal with him more effectively.

My opinion means very little in the grand scheme of things obviously but i cant see how this is not a one sided fight.
AJ becomes better, Wlad becomes poorer = AJ by earlier KO.
I just hope father time hasnt caught Klitschko completely because i would hate to see an embarrassing defeat where AJ just smacks him around the ring until the referee stops it in the early rounds.


Cant see anything but an early, brutal KO for AJ.

 

Obviously.. What are you stupid or something?

So you couldn't come up with a single example of a guy calling somebody out , then running away when that guy accepted to fight??
Thought so... Thats you cleared. Sayonara..

 

Trying to goad me into an insult war and claiming some sort of victory because i ignored you?? Sure , you can have that win.
You're the best 40 year old loser on the forum.. Enjoy it.

ps... Link the thread where you apparently 'owned' me?

 

And you couldn't come up with a single example of a fight being made without promoters meeting and contracts being signed....

You're embarrassing.

 

Thats a different topic. Both sides have to be willing to face each other before it gets to that stage.

Stop trying to run away and change the goal posts. I put a question to you first. You couldn't answer. You lost he argument.

 

Why do HW threads always turn into arguments?

 

Well it's not at all its tge same topic.

You claimed fights are made by one fighter calling out another......

I'm saying fighters promotional companies have to approach one another and contracts have to be signed, that's why fighters have managers and promoters.

I'm right you are just digging yourself into a deeper hole.

 

GGG/Hopkins, Classic. look it up

 

Somebody needs to fill that hole up, already

 

I never claimed that..

I said when a guy calls somebody out , it means he wants to fight that guy.. You don't like that Wilder is calling Parker out so are trying to reshape the entire spectrum of the sport to suit your agenda.
When people made call outs , nobody ever says - ' 'oh we must wait till the fight is signed , sealed and delivered first before we jump to any conclusions'

People aren't as stupid as you are. You're garbage is plain as day to see.


Name me somebody who called somebody out , then ran away when they accepted?? You can't do it , so stop wasting my time.
