    You got a strong pick for Huck/Briedis for me? Briedis by KO looks on, right?

    Think that Wladimir is fighting for legacy, this is a fight that could go either way

    Joshua has a bad habit of being lazy getting his right hand back to his chin after throwing a punch. Wlad most likely thinks he can sneak a left hook in like he did vs Pulev.

    He probably thinks that his experience will make the difference

    I struggle to see how AJ gets past that jab.

    Fury was able to because of the height and reach advantage and lots of faints

    Not many have been able to get past that jab and I see this going the same way, it'll be a frustrating 8/9 rounds to watch before klitschko goes in for the ko

    If Wlad wins, I think this analysis will be spot on. Still 50/50 for me though. Wlad may be shot, and he's also never had to tangle with someone with AJs combination of strength, speed, and power before (obviously Fury was even bigger and faster, minus the power, and we saw how that turned out).

    I actually like Huck, i gave a very quick look at both for a minute.....i have limited footage on Hucks last fight so im limited there but based on who's in a better position to win and who has better chance to land a clean shot through out the fight,Huck looks more polished in his last fight ( against much better fighter than Briedas's) and he did lose to Glowacki but that could be an off night and even if hes not prime,he has the better fights under his belt. I dont believe Briedas is as good as he looks to take him against a proven fighter on a 2 win streak.

    Of note i saw big holes in Briedas for Hucks style and going on both last 2 fights.

    You **** all over my chips every time I ask you one of these.:fusmile Thanks for the warning I suppose:confused:.

    Remember you owe me a Brook/Spence Jr prediction before the fight. I initially thought Brook but now I am almost convinced he is getting stopped or at least bullied, No doubt you will pick Brook now.:(

    Wlad's jab will be in AJ's face all night long. Then the hugging.

    Could be a boring UD to Wlad - or late stoppage. Very easily could happen, sadly.

    Yeah, the prior circumstances and the match-up seem to be getting overlooked by a whole lot of people.

    I believe he is too, in terms of both hand and foot speed.

    Ehhh I think he's fighting for the massive paycheck. Wlad has been done since the Jennings fight. Of course he can knock Joshua spark out though.

    All Wlad has to do is box at a distance and that's it. If he tries to clinch Joshua that will be his downfall. Jab, feints and movement. Not a lot of movement, just enough movement to create punching room. And when Joshua corners him, clinch. And do it all over again.

    Fury out jabbed Klitschko. It was Wlad that could not get past Fury's jab.

    Everybody gets past the Wlad jab. Theres a reason he was called 'Grabamir Clinchko '
