    I don't think we are going to see a shoot out.

    My prediction is Wlad will use his experience to spoil Joshua and earn a decision or Johsua will use his youth and outpoint a gunshy Wlad similar to Fury. I'm leaning towards Joshua, that's my prediction. Joshua by decision. I hope I'm wrong. I want to see Wlad against Wilder.

    The 'British Stoppage' is always in play. All it takes is a flurry against the ropes. Wonder who the referee is? Probably Dave Parris or Terry O'Conner.

    I hope Wlad comes in and fights like he did vs Pulev. I think he will KO AJ if he does.

    If he comes in defensive and scared to engage he's probably going to be stopped himself.

    I'm picking Wlad to KO Joshua, got money on it too. Joshua's a nice guy but he hasn't fought anybody at all, nothing he has done makes him any more than just another contender and one that is made for Wlad.

    Good Luck, you have put your money where your mouth is and I respect that.



    But a reminder to everybody, always gamble responsibly.

    You don't want to see AJ vs Wilder ?
    That would be a lot more exciting than Wlad vs Wilder.

    Don't have a lot of confidence in AJ but I have even less in WK. I'm picking Joshua UD, hopefully Wlad retires either way. Not trying to sound like a hater but I'm tired of watching 40 year old boxers

    The heavyweight division is definitely better off without Wladimir , i can't understand why some people want
    him to win.

    Everybody wanted him to lose when he was a champion because he was so boring and hideous to watch and
    now people want Wladimir to win against one of the most likable and exciting fighter's in Anthony Joshua.

    Uh oh Dino look at what Fields allowed in a fight:

    The 17-year veteran referee and former light heavyweight boxer who has overseen major world title fights including Bernard Hopkins against Sergey Kovalev, though largely respected, was criticized for the manner in which he oversaw the fight between Terence Crawford and Angel Rios in 2011.
    Reports from that contest suggested that Fields "allowed Crawford to hold Rios behind the head and hit him behind the head with rarely a warning,"

    Here are the judges:

    Judges:
    Steve Weisfeld (USA)
    Don Trella (USA)
    Nelson Vazquez (Puerto Rico)

    Weisfeld has done several Wlad fights. Trella did a few Vitali fights. Not really familiar with Vazquez.
