WLADIMIR KLITSCHKO last night admitted the loss to Tyson Fury was the wake-up call he needed. The former WBA, WBO, IBO and IBF heavyweight king was outpointed by Fury in Dusseldorf last year in his first defeat for 11 years. Click Here To Read More]
wlad was completely hypnotized by furys feints..he was scared to death that whole fight, clinching for dear life..if that was a wake up call he better hope AJ doesn't land that right hand.
As a fan of both, I know many will pick AJ to be the favorite because of his youth and power but never underestimate the old veteran, he still has a bit of left in him and won't go down easily.
I hope it goes to a decision as I don't want to see neither getting knocked out
I always wonder Why the heck did Wlad not threw punches vs Fury. That looked liked a mystery match...
He threw little versus Jennings too, looked slow and his reflexes weren't as sharp versus Pulev, and he was 39 the last time we saw him, work it out.
Wlad is going to get the George groves Wembley treatment
hopefully he puts up a fight before getting knocked out like groves
Groves was ahead on the cards at the stoppage right, I see Wlad winning on points but on a Hearn card I do feel he will need a stoppage. Fans used to moan about Sauerland cards but I've never seen as many injustices consistently anywhere else except the UK.
Let them call him what they want.. There are levels to this game & Wlad will show AJ who the master is... The fighters are respectful of each other but fans talking smack is funny.. :lol1:
I think it'll be a great fight. It's a win for us as fans. I know the usual Vlad detractors are all over the place with this one but that's as it should be, in a sense. I want to see Vlad prove them all wrong and I think he has a good shot. I don't know how even this fight is but people also have to look at experience and resume. Vlad's break might have done him well actually, especially mentally.
Well Vlad ain't George Groves.

I like this fight/ Joshua has not beaten anyone to be world champ, Martins was a joke!
I think Joshua has the edge only as we do not know how much Klitschko has left. When he steps into the ring around 18 months out of the ring and coming off a loss which he averaged 12 punches around.
Should be an interesting fight
Some quality statements from Vladimir here, intelligent language as usual. He's of course said these things before, that the loss was good for him -- and I think it was. He was not fully motivated for Fury, even though he might think he was himself at the time. It's a psychological thing and there could have been other outside the gym/ring factors involved too of course.
He is going to deliver with Joshua.

It has to be a wake up call for a giant of a man in his shape afraid to throw punches disgraceful. You put marcianos heart in that body he rules for as long as he wants. Fury shucking and jiving moving his head in out side up down that hypnotized him like a cobra? Disgraceful you never learned a body punch that doesn't move. Imagine Ali moving wow
A wake up call that you suck? A wake up call that you single handily killed the heavyweight division? A wake up call you have the most boring fights in the history of boxing? A wake up call HBO wouldn't broadcast your fights because they sucked so bad? At 40 he has a wake up call.....???.
