I've went for Joshua but this one is all over the place. Joshua could gas. He could get hit and freeze. He could spend too long waiting. But i've gone for Joshua after 8.
Joshua can win, but the bookies odds have shocked me. Joshua is still a novice pro, and has shown nothing to suggest he can hang with Wlad. He may get the KO if Wlad gets careless, but if Wlad keeps his head I find it difficult to see anything other than a Wlad win - probably by stoppage, but I can see this being pretty cagey, so maybe by decision too. They seem to have some good neutral officials for this.
But seriously... this is obviously not the same Wlad, and Joshua is not as experienced as CS, nor is he a southpaw, and southpaws have always given Wlad trouble.
Exactly Who has Joshua beaten to suggest he is the favorite over Wlad ? Who, Dylan Whyte? I don't get it
This is actually a tough fight to call. I think this depends more on how much Wlad has left in the tank more than anything. If we get a motivated and hungry Wlad who is not gunshot then I see a Wlad Ud win. I predict that Wlad wins by Ud and it will be shades of Wlad vs Haye. Two big punchers wary of throwing a whole lot. But the superior box, Wlad, will prevail.
