Video: Anthony Joshua vs Wladimir Klitschko - Preview & Prediction

Any post fight video on the way?

 

Thanks for your own prediction and post fight analysis!

If we look at Joshua and Klitschkos own gameplans and prefight training padworks and so on.. what can we make out of it?

I feel that klitschko could throw it good enough at times but he didnt want to end up in a slugfest with Joshua.I would have perfered pre stewart Wlad at times in the fight. Also Klitschko looked tired aswell in the 6th when he tried to Close the show..

I also feel that Joshuas uppcercut was no "lucky punch" prefight training they tried to make use of it. Great tactical weapon against Klitschko.

Joshua will keep imroving.

AJ2020 vs WK2010 never gonna happen...

 

The uppercut was no lucky punch it was nice weapon in Joshua's tool box Wlad had to be surprised because nobody lands that on him.
As for padwork it's just that. It's clear watching Wlad fight he can't fire the right hand anymore. Wlad came in light to use movement on Joshua it was a great game plan, he was controlling the fight and doing very well from the end of the 5th until the 11th.
Youth prevailed in the end, which happens most of the time. Credit to joshua for recuperating and going for it. Joshua is very good offensively. He adjusted too, with Wlad's Jab by firing his own in return. Good sign of a good thinker in the ring. As for flaws. He's very slow of foot. And I think if Wlad wasn't either afraid of gassing out going for the Kill, or confident that Joshua was finished and could coast, he would of finished him in the 6th. So questions do remain on Joshua's chin.
Sum it up, Joshua has good offensive weapons, decent stamina, thinks well, and has heart. He is also slow of foot and his chin may let him down at some point.
Wlad, dominated for so long and was so good he usually won by just being a robot. Now that he has clearly slipped he actually showed people how good he is by having to do things he usually doesn't, move, not clinch, and show that he has heart getting up after being hurt.

 

Thanks!

I also saw a similarity in weaknesses - not glassjaw at all. More of a "gasjaw"

It happened in the 5th 6st 7th round but also nearly in the 11th round. Joshua looked really tired in his arms by the stoppage. Think Wlad would have come back again if he did manage to survive just a few more seconds.

Joshua got this problem even more so than Wlad. Youth or not.

They both needed to take their breath after their punches. evenly matched physiques. weak staminas and gamebreaking powers made this a very interesting and special fight.

Klitschko tried cruise Control with 1-3 power punches at most (think so due to his history) meanwhile AJ: more risktaking tried to connect in bursts- but needed more recovery time in exchange.

I still think this is a 50-50-fight really.
