Comments Thread For: Klitschko vs. Joshua: Wladimir Embraces 80,000 at Wembley

[Squ□redCircle34]

Bibical's getting clubbed to the canvas for his stiff troubles!

He sits still like a mime and throws straight and tries to get KO like he's invincible, the old guard will teach him a lesson at Wembley that he'll never forget and so will his fans!

I expect AJ to push the button and jump on early, I see Wladimir getting hurt in the 2nd round badly and getting dropped in the 3rd! He'll go into his safety lockdown mode!

Meaning he'll clinch like an octopus and hold till he's steady so I say by round 8 is where we'll see the rust brush off a bit and Wlad settles in more!

Soon he'll be landing his jab whenever he wants and catch Bibical stepping in with crisp hooks! Bibical's punches won't have the same steam on them and he starts to breathe out his mouth while the future HOF senses weakness while his trainer uncharacteristically gets into his chest as round 10 begins and tells him, "Champs aren't built their earned"!

Joshua is then a sitting duck for the straight right down the pipe and soon with a minute and some change to go with Wlad down on the cards big time, 10 skunk with a knockdown for AJ, he lands a whopping left hook and AJ is in trouble....you fill in the blanks!

Wlad has been inactive for over a year, he will look so rusty when he fights

Fascinating fight, for sure, Wlad needs his trigger finger back as he can't jab, fall-in and smother with Joshua.

So he has to throw his right, which he could never do if he felt his chin was exposed. Can he jab and set up the right to the point where feels confident throwing it ? If not, I don't think he'll be able to use his right and Joshua can capitalise, which I would guess end as a points win for Joshua - Wlad protecting his chin but sacrificing his most potent offence weapon to achieve that.

If Wlad unleashes his right, then someone is going down, and it could be either of them. But can Wlad take risks ? After his early knockout losses he tightened up and his right was only used when in a low risk situation. One hurtful punch from Joshua early and Wlad will shell up. Wlad will be looking to control and soften Joshua up with his jab for quite a lengthy period, if Joshua can negate Wlad's jab control, then Joshua can win in any number of ways.

Pretty much the same story for every one of Wlad's opponents come to think of it, but you need to match him in size, else have good movement to do it. Joshua's got the size (as did Fury). Game on !

Wlad not fighting at all in 18 months is just ****** and means he will lose.

80,000 to see Klitschko and big Josh??? Never in a million years.

Maybe Haye-Josh would do tens of thousands. Not Wladimir Klitschko.
