So this is Wlad's final shot

Joshua is not faster, nor does he punch harder than Vladimir.

 

A fly flew into my mouth and I swallowed it.

 

Wladimir will go for broke in this fight. will be surprised if it goes the distance. More than enough power on both sides to finish the fight at any time. Think Wladimir needs to let his hands go early and not let rounds go by. win them and put them in the bank. of course, this opens up for a heavy shot from Joshua. Wlad should move and hit to not allow AJ to get set. This expends a lot of energy and Wlad's age is a factor. However, he has always been a superbly condiitoned athlete. He has the experience that Joshua does not. Would like to see less clinching from Wladimir in this fight.. With someone as strong as AJ you can lose more energy than whatever benefit you hope to gain by doing it and it's just not appealing. Have no problem with clinching if your n trouble...it can certainly help clear the head and buy time in a tough spot. People say Joshua is a straight forward basic puncher and doesn't have a lot of other levels...sort of a steak and potatoes approach. However, simple can and does work and he has power with youth on his side. This fight has the possibility of going in several different dirrections but will go in only one. Joshua will connect big and win, Wladimir will connect big and win, Wladimir's experience and versatility will win the day for a decision, Joshua will have enough moments ...perhaps stunning Klitschko and win with a decision. I am going with Klitschko on this one. I think he will stun Joshua by the 5th round but not put him away. A win for Klitschko by decision.

 

AJ by destruction.

 

Gotta love the usual suspects who are acting as if Wlads achieved nothing and a loss here would prove it. Losing to Joshua wouldn't tarnish his legacy at all, he's expected to lose here... Flipping the script however, now that would be a major boost and draw comparisons to Foreman, Moore and Hopkins.

 

I really can't see this one going the distance.

IMHO Wlad has to come in pumped up, hot and he needs to lay down the bombs early.

I think the longer it goes on the more AJ's strength and youth will be a factor. Not only that but I think AJ is the one that will be having the nerves early on, and that if he gets comfortable Wlad is in deep dogsh*t.

I don't think either of them have the chins to withstand each other's big punches.

They are the equivalent of battleships with 400mm guns and 200mm armour.

Someone's going down!

 

it found a good home, plenty of shyte.

 

Wladimir definitely has the advantage in speed and style. I have a strong feeling people are going to see Wladimir his stronger than Joshua, Wladimir definitely has the bigger frame. Power is arguable.

 

That is because the people that beat him apart from Brewster refuse to rematch he, because they know they will lose the rematch.

 

I know right?

Watching Wlad beat Brewster from pillar to post for 4 rds before suddenly gassing and falling down in a diabetic shock.

Incredibly humiliating.

 

I thought Brewster had a big 3rd round. The shots he landed in that round lead to Wlads down fall.
Lets be real here , it was hits to the body and head that downed Wlad.

 

Either way, don't think it goes the distance.

 

becasue they will all lose the rematch despite wrecking him first time, usually pretty easily.

yeh right. the good old Klitschko logic reversal yeh

 

Is it safe to say you'll be picking Josh here, Dino ?

You and @HerolGee both ?

 

Wlad is beyond shot. I expect him to throw about 15-20 punches a round, mostly range finding jabs. It'll be over by round 7-8
