AJ-Wlad - Wembley

[Alpha]

Also I have never seen AJ fight anyone with a jab like Klitschko's. Forget everything else that Wlad possesses; his jab alone probably wins him the fight.

Wladimir Klitschko Net Worth: $60 million


Not bad for a boxer who, according to Teddy Atlas, has "no chin, no skills and no courage".

[TitoFan]

Teddy ATLAS said that??

.... and here I thought I was just a hater.

Anyone see the BBC doc last night? I was a bit concerned by some of it to be honest, the way McCracken was talking to him, the kind of things he was constantly being reminded to do, not do. I thought he was talking to him like he was fragile. Maybe he does get chinned out in sparring every other week.

People are talking about Wlad like he's in his prime, he's not and he's far from it.

Your only as good as your last fight and his last fight was pathetic, he hardly threw a punch at all and looked to me to be a man who no longer wants to fight.

Since Emanual Steward died he's not the same fighter, hasn't fought well at all in 2 and a half years and is 41 years old.

He's facing a Young, Big, Hungry, Super Fast KO merchant with dynamite Power who won't be phased at all by the venue (already fought there) or the occassion and who he cannot and will not be allowed to jab and grab all night.

All i see is Wlad getting KO'd, Stopped or pulled out by his corner inside the distance after taking a proper beating.

I'd be amazed if Wlad pulls this off and just can't see it

[Mark TKO]

Only way I can see for Wlad if is if he does fuck all for first half of fight and let's Joshua gas down the stretch. But Joshua isn't smaller so maybe this won't work...

I hope Wlad has something left and look forward to finding out

I'll stick to my original if gun to head prediction. Joshua in 3

People should remember I'm good at predicting the heavyweights. From day 1 of Audley Harrison's career I told everyone he'd be found out within 20 fights

I watched it. I think that's just McRacken's demeanour. I think he was the same with Froch if I remember right.

Fireman? I thought he was a firetruck

That was after establishing his own forum of higher learning The Teddy Atlas Analogy Center For People who are like Cars, you know some are like a Mack Truck and others are like a Ferrari but still others are like a Bentley. Or for short The Teddy Atlas Analogy Center FPWALCYKSALAMTAOALAFBSOALAB


He's a firetruck putting out fires....like a plumber with the water in the basement....

How could I forget about Teddy's analogies.


I imagine during his youth, his dates probably committed suicide in the middle of those.

I've been flicking through random rounds of Wlad in his pomp, mainly with the intention of giving myself an excuse to bet on him, however, I ended up with the complete opposite view.

People keep making the point (a valid one) that AJ attacking him will suit him (look at the Pulev fight) but there's not a single fighter - sorry to bring up my thread title again - that even comes close to emulating the danger AJ poses.

Even in the clinches against Peter he goes all discombobulated when hit. The fella can't help but react panicked anytime he feels a glove graze his bonce.

You know for a fact that Team AJ will be in the refs ear to the point where he'll be terrified to not warn Wlad the second he grabs AJ.

No constant grabbing Wlad is fucked. Simple as.

He's already been warned it won't be tolerated at all and will be again in the dressing room on fight night, weird thing is that David Fields who is the ref on Saturday is the same ref who allowed Crawford to hit and hold Rios repeatedly without taking a point away.

90,000 screaming Beered up Brits just cement the fact that Wlads hit and hold tactics won't be allowed for too long.

AJ by KO for me
