Earlier I was leaning towards Wlad...but now as the fight gets closer, Joshua takes this fight. I think Wald still has something left though, and he will put on a good performance. Logic dictates Joshua early, and Wlad late... due to experience. But I think it's AJ by decision myself. Youth will be served.
Wladimir wins. Probably by KO, any time. Early or late. Or pounds out a dominant/ugly decision win. AJ will leave himself open and get punched too much. It's heavyweight boxing and anything can happen. But Wlad's my pick.
It's a toss up pick em fight imo.Wlad's greater experience and better opposition is counter - balanced by his age and inactivity.That's what makes it so intruiging.
Despite Joshua's obvious physical gifts and youth, Wlad has made a career out of controlling big opponents, by hook or by crook, in the squared circle. He also wants it - bad. Wlad is aged but, he ain't done yet. Unless Joshua shows us something new/extra, I'm leaning towards him getting KO'd in round 7 or 8.
