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

[Flash13]

Hopefully this time he doesn't back out with another lame excuse.

Former division ruler Wladimir Klitschko has embraced the proposed venue of Wembley Stadium for his showdown with IBF heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua, which is penciled in for April 29.

April 29?... Isn't it too cold in London at that point?

I typically would totally agree with this, but in his last fight, Wlad showed obvious signs of reflex erosion.
With slowed reflexes, Wlad is a sitting duck for Joshua i'm afraid.

We will see. problem with Fury was his movement around the ring. AJ doesn't have it and body/head-movement is not so good to dodge Walds panches( i hope he will throw more this time). Any way fight is close in chances for both, but I will be rooting for Wlad this figth as usually

I'm rooting for Wlad too. I have been since the 90's.....literally.

But, fighters with better movement than Fury were easily caught by Wlad before and he just could not pull the trigger in the Fury fight.

That was far from a prime Wlad performance.

Let's not forget that most heavyweight champs are normally long faded at 40 y/o. Even Ali was shell at that time.

Only Vitali was better at 40

I don't understand what Wlad is chasing at this point. He was HW champion for a deacde. There's literally nothing in boxing left for him to accomplish. Afraid he's gonna look like he did in the Fury fight just showing up and going through the motions. Lots of $$$.

Typically i would not agree with a easy AJ victory however WLAD is older, rustier and has shown signs of decline. AJ is stronger, faster and hits hard. There is no other heavyweight in as great shape as AJ other than WLAD himself but i see AJ potentially hurting WLAD badly for a TKO.
You have to remember how bad WLAD's chin is compared to his Brothers.
Wlad has not faced a opponent with AJ's power in a long time and definitely not someone in his prime with this much speed. Wlad is going to get hurt and it will be sad to see. He could not pull the trigger against Fury who was just throwing himself at WLAD lol.
So I believe AJ TKO 5 or Wlad retires on his stool in the 9th.

It's obvious Klitschko will not retire. He will go out on his back as in previous knockout loses. Big brother is to old to avenge him now

[Butt stuff]

I HEARD MY FAVORITE NUMBER

Love to see this fight. It will be competitive. Joshua can not move like Fury. Both have power. Let's see who can out jab for a few rounds and land a straight right...Interesting to see who will be more hungry/motivated for this match...


Never underestimate the heart of a champion- Robin Williams

Stay thirsty my friends..

Wladimir is past it, Joshua will stop him and take over the division. Klitschko will be 41 by the time they fight and age has caught up with him. At least he had the bottle to keep and defend the belts *ahem* Tyson Fury.
