Anthony Joshua v Wladimir Klitschko

[Malloy]

Don't know whether to order on box office. Not bothered about any other fights just this one

 

[RichD]

if AJ doesn't win at a canter there's something sadly wrong...

For the same money, you could have a 6month Sportsnation pass?

Really?
Klitchco has been an amazing champion for many years. And he's obviously motivated again. It'll be a massive win for AJ IF he wins.

Not sure it's working....

She won't be making any money on this I can guarantee it , she's been looking forward to going for months but her husband is away with work hence selling them - and no I don't have pics

 

[spoon]

reckon this could be klitschko's swan song, he'll be extremely motivated and well-prepared. that said, a 27 year old joshua should overpower 41 year old klitschko

Klit to stop him around 8 or 9. Klit will weather an early storm but he's seen it all before. Joshua not as awkward as fury and will be a lot more open to allow Klit to get off as fight goes on.

Wlad has never taken punches well and hasn't fought anyone for a long time with power like Joshua and to be fair in the Behind the Gloves last night he looked poor against a skinny kid in sparring.

Joshua looks relaxed, ready and moving with a bounce in the ring he hasn't before, he should be able to get rid of Wlad in the first 6 !

Can't wait to get down there n experience it ! First fight first time at Wembley

 

[Fletch]

Klitschko is way past his best

He clearly doesn't have a deep interest in boxing.

AJ has never fought anyone with the quality of Wlad - ever. Not saying he's going to lose, but Eddie Hearn has been cashing in on AJ without actually ever giving him a test.

Don't get me wrong I know that Joshua has only taken one proper punch and has really been tested ! Hearns done well out of him so far but now most importantly we'll hopefully begin to see what level of fighter he actually is !

On about that though Fury only really fought Chisora and Wlad and reckons he's the best heavyweight ever ! Good drugs he's had !

At least Joshua knows what and where he is in the current scheme of things

Relevant to this topic, Bradley's family are auctioning a signed glove off by Anthony Joshua as a means of fundraising, if anyone is willing to share

The worry I have with AJ is that he only just got by a British-level fighter not that long ago, and almost lost.

I know Fury took a few knock downs too in his early days, but he wasn't pushed this fast.

Didn't see Tyson Fury coming.

Didn't see Tyson Fury coming.

That's the million dollar question. Was that because he didn't prepare anymore, complacent. Or because he's finished? We'll soon find out

 

[Discopants91]

There was something very odd about the way Klitschko approached and fought Fury.

Definitely like to see Joshua win but like people have said it's a huge step up for him.

 

[cbwhu]

neither of them can take a punch

 

[spoon]

has joshua's chin been tested?

Looking forward to this now, surely Joshua is going to overpower him

Joe Cordina, Josh Kelly or Lawrence Okolie (lots to be drawn to decide this)

Scott Quigg v Viorel Simion

Anthony Joshua v Wladimir Klitschko

Worst undercard in hostiry for such an event. Hearn has outdone himself here.

As for the fight. If AJ can not beat Wlad now, he never will. Wlad is finished. Slowed down significantly.

Finished and Fury was exceptional.

I'll watch the Quigg fight, but yeh, nowt special on there. CUJ, NBJ would have been nice to see (sorry, don't know which promotion they're both with etc).

Still begs the question, "How finished? How exceptional". I really rated Fury though, unlike a lot of others.
