Why Joshua will *KNOCK OUT* Klitschko

[El Kabong]

Moorer wasn't a natural heavyweight and was beating Foreman and Hopkins was 6'2 to Trinidad's 5'11 and had a 2 1/2 reach advantage.

Alright then....Hopkins vs Pavlik, Hopkins vs Cloud, Hopkins vs Pascal?



Wlad has the edge in experience and that's about it, he knows the game and he knows what he can and can't do and sometimes that knowledge gives the fighter an edge. Do I expect Wlad to come out and be the Wlad of old, dominating with the jab, tying up, slowly opening Joshua up for the right hand....not especially. Wlad is older, not sure if he's slower or has lost his timing but he's going to have to be crafty and keep Joshua thinking and THAT is something he can do.


Anthony Joshua is big, bad, he's tough, he's strong, and he's young. Lots of these kinds of fighters see somebody older and they want to peg them, the guy does xyz watch out for that and you'll be ok, you'll walk right through them. Anthony Joshua isn't experienced, he doesn't know what to do when he's hurt in a huge fight like this....Wlad does, Wlad will get back up if he's able to stand, and he'll hold on for dear life and then it's back to jab jab jab jab let me get back in this fight the way he did with Sam Peter.


Wlad will have to try not to be so clever he walks into a trap Anthony has set for him and Anthony will have to avoid hubris....be humble or be humbled.


I think it's a great fight the future of the division could swing on this and regardless of who wins I think they will be the true champion of the division. I hope Wlad wins as always, but this is one where he will be battling the odds. People expecting a slugfest shouldn't go watch the fight though, it's going to be more of a chess match I would assume....the later the fight goes the more advantage I'd give to Wlad.



I'm going to go out on a limb and say Wlad TKO 9.....Anthony Joshua is too tight in his upper body and it'll sap his energy

Pascal and cloud were even more smaller then Tito standing at 5'10 to hopkins 6'2 with a 3 inch reach advantage. Pavlik was not good enough to beat an ATG. All three lost to Hopkins.

They were younger fighters they lost to the older fighter....all 3 of them. And Kelly Pavlik was undefeated at the time. But whatever, I'll just say "you're right" and leave it at that

Good point about Joshua being too tight in the upper body. However too much time has gone by I think it's like almost three years that Vladimir has only had three fights and at his age that is bad news
