    Im starting to lean a little more to Wlad in this fight. AJs never had a great jab for a hw of his dimensions, and unless Wlad is totally shot, I'm struggling to see AJ navigating Wlad's jab and left hook effectively enough to take out Wlad.

    And, as far as Wlad being shot, I'm starting to think AJ may be the right opponent for this diminished version of Wlad. Old Wlad has shown signs of vulnerability to movement. AJs not a movement based fighter.

    Meanwhile, between his build and the fact hes never been past 7, there's alot of reason to doubt ajs stamina.

    I can really see Wlad teeing off on AJ with the jab, AJ getting frustrated and tired, and Wlad stopping him late.

    My guess, if Wlad wins by ko it will be a left hook.

    The jab is EVERYTHING in this fight.

    We finally get to see if AJ knows how to use his to good effect..

    It is going to come down to The Chin. The Chin is the most important attribute in Boxing.
