AJ-Wlad - Wembley

[Master]

AJ is an MBE already? This rate he will be knighted after he beats Wlad.

this is the best HW title fight in years all things considered

I wonder, like with the haye bellew thread, if we will get 35+ pages of replies

Just because it does not, does not mean it is better, just Ross and his no injury claim that made it carry on longer than necessary.

I would argue that enough people were interested in the fight to keep responding to the ridiculousness of ross

if it was any other fight that ross was being ridiculous about would people still have bothered replying?

so what I am asking is, was it Haye/Bellew that encouraged people to open and reopen the thread or was it ridiculous ross?

[Master]

It was Haye/Bellew that encouraged people to keep the thread alive.

The whole fight was controversial and manufactured by Sky and them. Their personalities carried the promotion and hype.

The fight was farcical and ridiculous because of the injury that Haye was carrying.

Ross created a conspiracy that got him banned.

[smashup]

Fuck Ross he was warned to reign his bullshit trolling in and didn't - end of.

So who wins this one?

It definitely ticks all the boxes this one, Massive Stadium fight with 90,000 fans and millions round the world, a great matchup of youth v experience and two pretty much identical guys physically who can both punch but can be hurt.

I really do think AJ's gonna win this by knock out and become a mega star globally.

Few and far between are fighters these days who dedicate their entire life to the sport (the guy lives in a small flat above his mum still) train their ass off and swerve the glamour and hype like so many others do.

Great role model, chilled out and polite fella but once he climbs through the ropes the real AJ comes out, spiteful vicious fucker who clearly enjoys smashing the absolute shit out of people, you can see it on his face when he's just landed a huge punch, big grin on his face then he sticks out his tounge and knocks them out.

AJ by KO for me

[Master]

I want to dislike AJ but I can't he carries himself so well and does not react to provocation. He is just so calm, polite and measured even when others try to antagonise him.

One of the big question is questions is what has Wlad got left. He was on his best form until he faced Fury but went out like a limp lettuce against Tyson.

Wlad has not fought for 18 months and will that do him more harm than good?

If Wlad is on top form then he will give AJ his hardest fight. Wlad will try and take it past 7 rounds and see if AJ tires and then pour it on him. The only issue is Wlad has a weak chin and does not like to engage too much, hence why he hugs a lot.

AJ early or Wlad late is the sensible pick but could see AJ points winner as the most logical result.

[erics44]

it would be a real pity if Wlad won

just when it looks like we have HW excitement in the whole division, imagine going back to the Wlad reign again, the worst HW spell in history by miles

I just cant handle the thought

ROSS IS BANNED? Since when?
Come on, I know he's a prick, and I know he talks shit, but isn't a ban a bit over the top?
Even though he talks shite , surely there's freedom of speech.
Anyway, it always makes us feel better about ourselves when we can win a debate, and @ross makes that easy! 😂😂

[Batman]

I don't dislike AJ but I'm not a huge fan of him, he has this real sly sort of arrogance about him if you ask me, I know that fighters need that (especially the heavys) but I can't help but want Klit to win.

And I think he will unless like a lot of others have said father time has caught up with him.

AJ wins and he is a Fucking mega star, the media loves him so he will get the respect that Fury would have got if he wasn't such a polarising character
