What does Wlad see in AJ that makes him think he can win?

Neither guy has to worry about stamina. It'll be a chess match until someone is caught clean.

 

Does Wlad stand to make 25 million USD? That's a very nice retirement package on top of the other tens of millions he's earned.

Must be real nice to get paid like that in your probable going away party, win or lose

 

Speed prevails and Wlad is the faster guy.

 

I keep changing my mind on this one and I think quite a lot of guys do too. To me, that means it's a damn good fight.

 

Ye,i pretty much agree with everything there apart from not looking half bad vs fury,he never threw anything till round 12,it was an abysmal showing for a defending champion

 

My bad - he looked awful vs Fury. What I meant is that his STAMINA was not bad against Fury. I was unclear. Then again, one could make the argument he was fresh because he threw about 3 punches the whole night and I'd have nothing to say back in return, except for arguing that it may have been 4 punches and not 3

 

Definately 3 ha

 

The fact that Hearn has thrown Joshua into a lion's den of a fight with the dominant HW of the past decade without any experience of fighting beyond the 7th round is the biggest single factor in this fight. Fast car is 100% about the money and the chance to put on a 90,000 ego show was too appealing to pass up in deference to his fighter's career, and he has thrown Joshua under a bus. Now he might survive the impact, he could win. But rounds 8-12 are way more important than rounds 1-7.

Joshua has to get Wlad out of there inside five or those over-sized untested bodybuilding muscles are gonna get drunk on lactic acid. Wlad will tailor tactics accordingly....

 

As the betting houses are paying off a Wlad win at around +175, I expect that a lot of posters on this thread are going to put down massive amounts of "sure money" and get rich.

 

This and money are the reasons I think he is taking this fight.

As far as what Wlad sees in Joshua that makes him believe he can win? I would say mainly the facts that Joshua is way less experienced than him and is quite hittable. Wlad probably thinks he has the experience and ability to out smart and out box him and the power to hurt him.

 

Pure ether,. A bit harsh I thought and some of Joshua's perceived weaknesses you are prone to exaggerate but this post has me re-thinking who really has the edge here given I do have reservations about AJ even if I had begun to favour him recently. I think you are underestimating the chances of a Joshua T.K.O. victory - By 'British Stoppage' maybe, as I agree Joshua has not demonstrated one punch K.O. power.


I used to be indecisive, But now I'm not so sure.

I wouldn't read too much into anything Wlad (or any boxer) says about their opponent in the lead up to a fight.

I'm edging back, ever closer to dumping my cats college fund on Wlad. You got to admit that 'cst80' post rang true at least in some areas. Are you still on 70% - 75% for AJ?

 

This fight will be at the perfect pace for Wlad to still look vintage. Klit will be able to counter AJ & both will be very respectful of eachother. I'm looking for a tactical fight.

 

Wlad doesnt B.S and is making it perfectly clear this is his biggest challenge and one he could lose ...pay close attention to whatever Wlad says hes not smoke and mirrors like the others.

Cats cant eat pizza or Chicken Queadillas i would rethink that college fund money! I read quite a few of his posts ,and thats a guy thinking Martin would also beat Joshua from what i see on here,he will continue to bet aginst him until he can maybe prove himself right ,im not exactly sure what his deal is on joshua ?.....my post stands as is in my own break down...for NOW. Im about 70% on AJ.

 

Holy Sht! I had chicken Quesedillas(?) 2 hours ago for the 1st time in over a year, and actually my cats didn't try to mooch for once. Weird co-incidence but your cat knowledge is definitely on the level.

Is mexican food considered cheap in USA?

 

I wouldnt know??? Im just reiterating something i said on twitter when someone posted a pissed off cat and that was my explaination ! I would assume theres many small mexican shops with cheap prices at least in N.Y there was....
