Yeah I heard Wlad had a lot of issues going into that Fury fight. I think his wife was suffering from some sort of post natal depression. Not making excuses but it couldn't have been easy. I hope this camp has been much more settled. I wonder if Vitali has been giving him some sparring?
I feel the jab will be the key to a Wlad victory. I also feel AJ has a bad habit (a little lazy) of not getting his right hand back quick enough after throwing a punch. I think a Wlad left hook can be valuable in this bout.
Watching highlights of Wlad's last few fights (I nodded off twice) I'm certain there was something wrong with him against Fury. His movement, speed and timing looked way off and it wasn't just down to a big man confusing him. He looked like a stuck computer game bouncing up and down unable to pull the trigger, like a fighter that had a poor camp.
Now he could have got old overnight, but also that wife stuff could be legit, well, how could it not affect you.
Who knows if he got rid of Jonathan Banks? Haven't seen him mentioned and they haven't shown any of those behind the scenes shows yet. As far as trainers go it was obvious he was nothing but a gofer
3-Time SADDO PREDICTION COMP CHAMPION.
The reason Fury beat Wlad is because he intimidated him relentlessly over a number of months and at every single press conference Fury was the "Alpha Male", he got in his head and took every single advantage Wlad likes to have away from him, even the bouncy castle ring canvas was rumbled and stripped away to a normal depth only a few hours before the fight or the Fury's were refusing to fight, Fury then taunted him through the fight and it was an easy nights work.
When Emanuel Steward died so did a Huge part of Klitschkos boxing career as far as i'm concerned but it'll be interesting to see what happens when the bell goes because AJ has not and will not use mind games and intimidation to beat Wlad before they fight, this will be settled purely by boxing ability.
I do hope Wlad has a real go at AJ and think this could be a classic Heavyweight fight but all i do see is AJ being too young, Athletic and Powerful for Wlad to handle for long and AJ to go on to Knock him out .
