Wlad is going to ***SMOKE*** Joshua like a 40-cent Cigar

[brocktonblockbust]

AJ could barely get Whyte out of there and got wobbled easily. Klit's straight right hand will put him to sleep. Wlad needs an early night here, look for him to ***K.O.*** AJ fast & hard.

Wlad ****KO 4******

[Master]

So AJ wins then. Brock is always wrong.

[Mark TKO]

Wlad never smoked anyone early unless they were about 5 foot 4. Joshua is bigger than that..........


I could be wrong here as going off memory but I seem to recall him just wearing people down

Depends on the windows a fighter gives him....some taller guys go out quicker, Ray Austin 6'6 went out in 2 rounds but that was because Ray trapped himself against the ropes (bad footwork/ring generalship) and Wlad bombed in some left hooks.

I think if Wlad wins it'll be a late stoppage and if he loses it's more likely he gets caught early and AJ follows up once Wlad is hurt.

I think due to AJ's style, he's seemingly very tense in the upper body, that Wlad gets back to basics. Pumps the jab, finds a home for the left hook, finds a home for the right hand, and stops AJ in 6 to 8.

There are questions about AJ's chin, but we have only seen him hurt, we haven't seen him take a count at all. It would be foolish of Wlad this late in his career to go for broke once he has AJ hurt as all AJ need do is throw a hail mary and land it to get Wlad down and hurt. Wlad needs to be cautious but loose, AJ needs to be cautious but loose...we'll see who is still up for being in big time boxing.

Hopefully it's a good fight. That's all me and a whole bunch of boxing fans are hoping for. No foul-fests, no non-stop clinching, none of that. Whatever happens happens. But allow me to correct you on one small historic detail.

"Ray Austin 6'6 went out in 2 rounds but that was because....."


..... because Austin shit himself on the way to the ring, and some of that shit found its way to the canvas beneath him. Some of that bad footwork you mention may have been caused by Austin's feet slipping on the shit as he was cowering and looking for a safe place to hide.

Probably safe to say AJ will be no Austin.

Why even pretend TitoFan? Just be honest FFS....."Hopefully it's a good fight" is not what you mean "Hopefully AJ KO's Wlad early" is what you mean.


As for Ray Austin, he didn't shit himself, he circled too wide in the ring, ran himself into the ropes and got blasted by a left hook......not everyone who Wladimir Klitschko has fought has been a pissypants coward or do you begrudge that concept? Wlad is a pro, he fights like a pro, like an all-time great pro...yes that includes bending the rules to his favor in some areas because again "If the ref doesn't call it, it's not a foul"...."b-b-b-b-b-but HOOOOOOLDING!!!!!"......

IF

THE

REF

DOESN'T

CALL

FOUL

THERE'S

NO

FOUL

Just a plain and simple way to look at it, but it's always always always met with outrage and disdain....and all I will respond with is evidence: Roberto Duran beat Ken Buchanan by punching him square in the dick.....no foul was called ergo in the history books it's Duran win via KO.


"Safe to say AJ will be no Ray Austin".........he actually could shit the bed like that, it would be very disappointing indeed, but it's not outside the realm of possibility. Wlad could come in and look bad too, it's not a given that the fight will be one way or another....we could have a snoozefest boring draw or a double KO or fan man's ghost could wind up crashing into the fight, you never can deal in absolutes, it's all about chance.

Is it like the Atlas curse?

[mikeeod]

As stated above, anything can happen in Heavyweight boxing, so an early Wlad win is possible. At this point in their respective careers, however, I will go with Joshua. Wlad was very underwhelming vs Fury, and I think Joshua is MUCH better than Fury was.

[Spicoli]

Hey crazier things have happened. But I've seen Wlad wait 11 rounds before unleashing committed right hands and not being gun shy about it. I'd actually be shocked if he came out early and did anything else but warm his jab and legs. A lot of this will be how AJ approaches his biggest test and keeping his head ruling over his heart.

Where can I get 40 cent cigars? I'll give them to my mates while I smoke my Romeo Julieta's hehe.

No the Brock Saddo curse, he always predicts something outrageous and it never comes true.

It's HW boxing, so this may or may not happen.
If it does happen, I guarantee you Lyle and his keyboard will have to be surgically separated.

I can see AJ get the early KO.

[denilson200]

I'll be surprised if Wlad wins a minute of the fight. In fact if it was up to me. I wouldn't even sanction the fight as it's not a real fight. Wlad has no chance. Joshua is a finisher. He does not let you off the hook.

Young up coming champ Vs Older Former champ pretty much always go the way of youth.

In fact Wlad could DQ as he's gonna be holding for his life. Drag Josh into later rounds ? So a 41 year old man is gonna be in better shape than a 27 year old man with less ring ware ?

Millionare Wlad who is already cast in the boxing hall of fame is gonna be hungrier ? more determined ? No chance. To be honest even if this was 10 years ago Josh would win easy.As soon as Josh hits wlad it's over.

You support your man WLAD and I'll support my man Josh

And let's see who win ? Yeah. Let's see who wins this mini war. Yeah ? Let's see who wins. Yeah ?

Josh you are doing this for more than a fight. You know what you doing. Send the message round the world and him out cold.

After April 29th. Heavyweight scene will look as it should

Deontay Wilder and Josh as two best heavies. The days of Wlad are over. No way back for Fury.
