    Klitschko:

    "Experience is something that you cannot buy in the shops,"

    "You have to gain it through the years. It's an advantage.

    "People could be great in the preparation and in great spirit, and I've seen that. But then they crumble like a cookie just a couple of seconds before the first bell, I've seen it"

    "I've seen their build-up, I've seen their strength, their determination and then before the first bell, they crumble like a cookie and totally lost their confidence
    "


    Look like Vlad has stepped up the mind games... Signs of nervousness?

    Signs of nervousness?? Nah. I think he's just VERY motivated for this fight and is speaking the truth.

    And Joshua WILL crumble after a few good 1-2's

    Never seen Vlad do this much talking. Not even to to Fury who was ridiculing him.

    AJ is calm and respectful to Vlad yet he's going in on him.. Seems like his nerves are kicking into me.. I think it makes him uncomfortable that AJ is so relaxed.

    AJ will crumble when he gets hit by that first jab and it turns into a losing boxing match. Wlad will feel like Floyd to AJ. An old Floyd though.

    I got a feeling that the old man is up for this one and I am rooting for him. I just like the underdogs. I think that Joshua believes that he will steamroll Wlad and I would love to see the look on his face if Wlad sets him on his backside. It would be priceless.

    When I see people act out of character, I take it as a sign. Think Wlad knows it's the end.

    I would trust him more if he didn't look less than in his last two fights.

    No doubt he has a fair chance.

    However, I'm still picking the younger horse this time.

    Wlad isnt very good at trash talking, he should have said "AJ will crumble like the British Empire." That would have gotten more attention!!!

    Joshua -will- get nailed with the kinda powerful straight right that put Brock to sleep, or the lead left hook that put Chambers and Austin out

    Let's see how (if) Joshua can shake it off, because you know Wlad is more determined than ever to redeem himself


    Joshua will also have a hard time landing his own shots given Wlads movement and ability to control the distance, and then tie Joshua up in the clinch after an exchange


    Wlad WILL redeem himself with a brutal, highlight reel knock out, given how focused and determined he is

    Theories of him being -well passed it- are greatly overblown

    Ordinarily I'd agree with you ... but ... I actually think Wlad may have been influenced by the Fury fight more than is apparent. I think Fury's BS got to him and that it may have rubbed off a bit on him. Last vid I saw of Wlad he was using lots of head and lateral movement in sparring :thinking:

    I think that he's hit a new groove and is extremely focused and excited for this one. Whether that's enough to overcome a beast like Joshua, we'll see, I guess.
