I feel that AJ is largely untested, and he hasn't had to use much head movement or footwork. We are yet to find out how his chin holds up since turning pro, but he has shown just enough to prove capable of beating Wlad, albeit a diminished version. My concern is with the excessive clinching, I was literally pulling my hair out watching Wladimir do that for 12 rounds against David Haye in 2011, and I heard it was even worse against Povetkin. When he fought Fury I was screaming at the TV for the ref to deduct a point and also for Tyson to throw a counter right uppercut to Wlads chin as he came in for a hug.
If AJ gameplans correctly, then I can see him stopping Wlad, as Wlad has shown to have an iffy chin at times, and AJ is currently riding a KO streak stretching all the way back to his pro debut. I would like to see AJ drill the counter uppercut, which is the punch that worked so well for Lennox Lewis against Vitali Klitschko. This would be one helluva coming out fight for AJ, it would launch his already promising career to a new level.
