    "Throwing your man into the lions den" ?

    He's a world champion, therefore should be fighting the best.

    its easy to predict. either joshua opens up and knocks wlad out early as the old guy abandons his plan of opening up form the word go and instead grapples for a breather.

    or wlad is able to smother and wrestle joshua until he gasses and then gets koed by joshua, mid to late.

    there is no other outcome. once wlad is gassed, and at his size and age it will come midrounds, its over.

    Wlad's gonna make AJ very uncomfortable. Joshua doesn't like to take the initiative. He likes to counter punch. Wlad's gonna force him to come forward and throw, which will play right into his hands. The old man's gonna come out smelling like roses after this fight.

    I have seen Joshua getting hit with one punch by Dylian whyte on the face and my word he completely shut down and looked scared and confused. Now Dylian Whyte has had 2 opponents including the chinny Chisora afterwards whom he punched at will but they survived the full 12 rounds.

    If a puncher like Wlad strikes Joshua on the face it is more or less game over. We are talking about a guy who has been knocked down a few times in the Amatuers.

    I will not be surprised. Nor, however, will I be surprised if it goes the other way. This is what makes this a VERY interesting fight.

    This.

    No one can make a reliable prediction for this fight with the amount of unanswered questions surrounding both fighters at this point.

    I see what your saying but that belt was basically given to him on a plate.

    You said the hype he is getting from armchair fans, makes you want him to lose. As a fan of boxing I'm glad Joshua is receiving hype, and I think it's warranted.

    After watching Wlad win for 10 years, it kind of grows on you. I wouldnt be suprised if Wlad won at all. Ill be going for Joshua though.

    Any knowledgable boxing hardcore man knows AJ gets embarrased and 'old manned' by someone without any boxing savvy in this inexplicable mismatch. Then AJ goes and bullies Wlad into a late TKO.
    Worlds gone mad, Brexit etc etc
