AJ-Wlad - Wembley

[Memphis]

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

Just read on the Daily Telegraph website that the fight purse is around £20 Million and predicted to rise to around £40 Million after PPV buys and ticket revenues are added.

Wonder what the split is per fighter ( The Telegraph claim it's 50-50) ?



Joshua vs Klitschko: what is the purse, what will each fighter earn and what is prize money?

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