1) Well, kinda. Only in the sense that every fight he is in is massively hyped so the 'occasion' should never get to him. From a technical point of view, probably not. He's fought 3 guys who turned up to be beaten. Fair ****s to Breazele actually as I think he at least tried a bit but he is just shite. 2) It's probably SLIGHTLY better than Molina but in the same sort of ball park
You learn more from training and sparring as, "fight night" is not the night you want to be learning anything !! Sparring is the time to spend working on weaknesses and applying certain things..Fight night is when you put into practice all that you have learned in training and sparring. Its the very reason you train
1. He's learned stuff. He's learned there's 18 men he can knock out quite brutally, and he's probably improved in putting his punches together to get KOs, and it all builds confidence. But he's hasn't learned an awful lot that would help him in a really testing fight. For a man with 3-0 in world title fights he's pitifully untested/unproven. 2. His win over Whyte is better than Whyte's win over Chisora. I don't know how much a fight with Wlad will teach him, to be honest. There's a strong possibility Wlad will present himself as such a slow old man lacking reflexes, nothing much will be learned. Maybe I underestimate Wlad's ability to adapt his style to a possible physical decline, but seeing as he showed nothing much in the Fury fight and that was AGES ago, you have to doubt what he'll be like come April 2017.
On the other hand, if Wlad's anything like the Klitschko of old, it could be a quick lesson in how to lose for the inexperienced AJ. Ideally, Wlad will recapture his youth AND Joshua will learn on the job and prove himself as the rounds progress, in a classic competitive fight, but that would be wishful thinking rather than the most likely outcome.
