AJ-Wlad - Wembley

[Alpha]

I just can't shake the feeling that Joshua having never fought anyone with Klitschko's experience will be found out. Wlad doesn't really need this fight. He is well educated, financially secure and has all his faculties in order. His inactivity is worrying but may also be beneficial. He may be coming in well rested and refreshed. I keep asking myself how is Joshua going to deal with frustration and the longer it goes does the mental side of it affect him worse? I'm really looking forward to this fight which is something I haven't really said about a Wlad fight before.

I think AJ showed good patience against Whyte and Breazeale and stayed composed and focused after landing huge punches early on that didn't quite put the opponent down.
Also the scare against Whyte where he showed a wise head, went back to basics got the jab working and wore Whyte down before banging him out.
I don't think we need to worry about AJ losing focus/panicking more the gas tank running out late in a fight like Frank Bruno used to.

I can't see a way Wlad can handle such a young, strong, fast and proper athlete for too many rounds.

Can only see an AJ KO win

Agree 100%. Still don't understand why Wlad wants this fight. The only way I can see Wlad winning if AJ chin is made of China.

I think Wlad believes AJ is untested and that he will not handle the pressure of going into the later rounds. Wlad hopes that AJ will fall apart and maybe even stop him late like Witherspoon v Bruno. That is his main tactic in winning the fight.

This could turn out to be a absolute beating for Wlad, he only has one chance in my eyes and thats get Joshua stone cold as once AJ gets going it s all over, no way an old inactive negative clincher is going to outwork over power a young terminator like Joshua, Wlad is no Mayweather, he couldn't even handle Tyson Fury.

No one think that Wlads spoiling/ holding tactics will frustrate Joshua? He has never been in that situation. All that holding and leaning can wear you out. Add in that Joshua has never been deep. Wlad can whack too. He can also box although we haven't seen that in awhile. I wish the odds were closer to what the general opinion here is as I'd be inclined to back them.

I was the lone Joshua points vote. I know it's a stretch, but I can see that happening. I'm in total agreement that Wlad will use every trick in the book to frustrate/ wear out Joshua. But I gotta think AJ is being prepped for that. I gotta think there's a game plan, when everybody and their brother knows exactly what Wlad is going to do. The one X factor is Wlad's punch, which he can sneak in if AJ becomes too involved with Wlad's fouling. I just hope AJ's team are doing their homework in preparing him for this fight. He's not gonna get a 2nd chance, I believe.

Love Quigg when he is in the zone and unloading. Think the best is yet to come from him.
