Comments Thread For: Vitali Klitschko: I'm More Than Sure My Brother Knocks Joshua Out!

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

ANTHONY Joshua has said his 13 weeks of preparation has pushed him to a whole new level ahead of his world heavyweight title fight with Wladimir Klitschko at Wembley on Saturday. The 27-year-old Joshua, who is unbeaten in 18 bouts since turning professional in 2013, said he is not concerned about the punishment he could take in the ring because of his high-intensity training program.

Yeah just like when he was about to hop in the fury fight and show the scary younger bro hitler wouldn't stand for this.

After watching Klitschko's workout today on video I'd be lying if I said I wasn't concerned for Joshua. I was surprised at how quick and fluid Klitschko looked. Technique was there, mobility, etc..

I definitely want Joshua to win. It would benefit the sport a lot if he did win. And I had Joshua winning by Knockout anywhere between 6 and 9 rounds in my original prediction.

Now I'm not sure. I have no prediction of this fight now. I don't know how it's going to go. Klitschko for as good as he looked hitting the mitts today. Is he going to fight like that on Saturday or will he get gunshy after he gets hit with a hard punch.

It's difficult to say at this point for me. I just don't have a feel now for how this is going to go. I'm hoping for a Joshua KO win. But who knows.

He sounds a lil too confident. They gonna slip Joshua a Russian mickey before the fight?

Anyone with any common sense knows this is likely the toughest fight for both men. I'm leaning toward Joshua, but with the bombs both of these fighters throw, neither is certain of victory. But we do know the history of Klit. He's had panic attacks, been gun shy, uses grab-n-hold as a defense mechanism way too much, rarely throws body shots, plus he's lost a sizable portion of his speed. And above all, this is a 90K filled arena of mostly Joshua fans who will be booing Klit from the time he starts his ring walk. And booing him when he starts in with the grab-n-hold. Above all though, he isn't in the gym... he's in the actual high stakes fight... one that dictates whether he fights on, or retires humiliated. And we have a young, fast, powerful Joshua in the ring... who isn't quite as skilled or experienced, but who has some serious speed and pop.

That's what makes this an intriguing fight.

Fight is genuinely interesting, anybody writing off Klitschko could be sorely mistaken. I hope Joshua wins because it'll be better for the division but you never know until fight night, we could see Wlad land a couple of shots in the first round and it could change every bodies mind on how the fight is gonna go. It'll be good while it lasts

I can't remember the last fight I was so hyped for TBH..can't wait to see this.

They're from Ukraine, Einstein.

Joshua has looked great against untested and mostly weak opposition - this is a huge jump up for him. Joshua is a pretty compact fighter and he's not as tall and awkward as Fury is and will be plodding forward right into jabs all night.

Points taken, I considered this, as obviously styles make fights. Of course, Joshua fights nowhere near like fury.

But Joshua really has a great jab of his own. He looks to land it, and uses it to peck and of course set up the right hand.

This is a great fight, I'm ready! Favoring Joshua slightly!
