AJ is the most dangerous chinner merchant Wlad has ever faced? Fa...c...uss?

[El Kabong]

The problem the casual boxing fan will have with this fight is simple....with these two guys who both hit so hard 71 KO's between the two of them. Not a whole lot of punches will land, and I'm thinking probably not a whole lot of punches will be thrown, but the punches that land will count. Both fighters will be searching for a window, both fighters will look to land power shots without leaving themselves open.

I think the ace up AJ's sleeve is his clueless inability to understand that Wlad has power and so being wet behind the ears he will throw caution to the wind and that very innocent dumbness will help him destroy Wlad. But it will only be sheer luck, and so I will not give him any credit. The ATG from Ukraine will just have had too off nights in a row and will rightly go down in history as a fearless warrior who always met his opponent head on never trying any mind games or funny business in the ring. If the ref said it was Ok to put his opponent in handcuffs and batter him with a baseball bat, then it can hardly be called cheating. Wlad...what a ledge

Lyle get over yourself and stop acting like a child. You are reading way too much into a one line response. It's nice that you are admitting being a big gay bear and all that, but it doesn't make you the focus of my attention princess.


1. I am not following you. When you post as much as you do it's very likely that wherever I choose to post maybe somewhere you already posted. Why do you even care what my opinion is if I am such a lazy bitch ?. I often work 14 hr days being self employed, and being a carer means I don't stop when I am at home, so maybe factor in that fact when you delude yourself into thinking that you are some kind of fixation for me.

2. I am not being contrary at all. You suggested that AJ would somehow profit from naivety being what you described as "Woefully unprepared". This is not some wet behind the ears novice just because you choose to describe him as such. He is a fellow Gold medal winning Olympian but with a difference. He has proven despite starting his boxing career late and being lucky to get Gold, to be a quick learner, with an incredibly strong mental attitude. That is not just coincidence. That is something you work on daily. It is a fortitude that allowed him to settle and come back to his boxing when rattled by someone like Whyte. It has allowed him to get to this position and by comprehensively demolishing everyone put in front of him in a far more impressive manor than any other operating heavyweight, including Wlad. So it will not be his ignorance that will help him handle the occasion on Saturday and to suggest so is very condescending of you.

3.Joshua is the biggest star in boxing at the moment, he has sponsorship deals and the glare of the spotlight that People like Wilder would give their right arm for. Wlad is coming to England. His "bear" hugging ain't going to wash here and he will be massively out muscled if he wants to turn it into a grapple fest. In his last fight, Wlad mentally melted. He could not handle it. Just like you can't


"AJ is still wet behind the ears. I like AJ, he's classy, but classy don't win fights....bad attitudes don't win fights either, but point being that AJ is woefully under prepared but who knows, maybe he's so young he just won't know any better and will come out the winner."

That my friend is you being lazy and employing hyperbole. It's not an argument it is a suggestion that all the evidence we have witnessed in AJ's 44 rounds can just be dismissed. It also means that you are already preparing to cover yourself whatever happens. If AJ blows Wlad away it's because Wlad is past it and Joshua won simply by not freezing up on his big opportunity. If Wlad wins then you can remind us how he is now an even bigger all time great despite just dealing with a late starting novice, wet behind the ears who was in no way prepared for the leg end that is Wlad.

If Joshua KO's Wlad early then to be fair you should come back and remind us all that we are witnessing the emergence of a new ATG who at this early stage in his career eclipsed the performances of Wlad etc that went before him.

Won't happen though.

Oh, well fucking surprise surprise guess who it is.....but I rest easy knowing that you don't follow me

1. I'm supposed to care why? You're annoying and you don't understand how debate works. I suggest if you would like a back and forth discussion that you fucking learn up on that shit son.

2. " I am not being contrary at all." Oh really? con·trar·y - opposite in nature, direction, or meaning. Furthermore "Anthony Joshua won a gold medal"...let me stop you right there, Audley Harrison also won a Gold medal was he EVER prepared to fight someone like Wlad? Anthony Joshua has 18 fights, 18 wins, 44 total rounds as a professional....he hasn't fought many "world class opponents".....Kevin Johnson got a title shot ages ago so I guess he counts, Skelton? Gavern? Whyte? Martin? Breazeale? Eric Molina? Not a Who's Who of top rated heavyweights. One benefit of fighting Whyte was Jon Banks is his trainer, but one negative of fighting Whyte was....Jon Banks is his trainer and he too could learn from AJ's work in the ring, he's seen it already. AJ has sparred Wlad before which again, is a wash in terms of experience or preparation and nobody here knows how long they sparred who got the best of who etc. 18 fights, 18 KO's, and never a real big name on his record....this is territory that Anthony Joshua has not been in before. If Anthony Joshua wins it will be DESPITE not having the experience not BECAUSE of his experience because for a heavyweight title holder he doesn't have all that much. That's my point, and that's how you debate using facts....you understand that? Comprende?

3. If AJ is the "biggest star in boxing" then where were his filled stadiums prior to fighting Wladimir? Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, that's too easy of hit against your non-argument you emotional woman
