It'll be a big task doing it against a big, prime, strong fighter like Joshua though. Klistchko is looking old and grey and will have been inactive for a 18 months when he finally gets back in the ring with AJ and he has slowed down the last few years.
This is really about the one who lands first....
i dont see how this fight can go 12
I think Wlad watched Jousha vs Dominic Breazeale and saw some things which he thought he could take advantage of

I think this fight is a really good spot for Joshua because Wlad while being excellent at his best his style is not one that is going to keep a young strong guy coming to take the fight to him off it is just not in his bag especially at this point.
Wlad plays a risk limitation game which revolves around range control and grappling in close. Joshua is not a guy ether of those likely works out well because he is younger and stronger while being just as rangy. Although the grappling could certainly have a limited effect if it ends up being an ugly sloppy fight.
Wlad has a hard time dropping a right hand when he faces almost no danger, so against a guy his size coming at him hard with real power hard to see him really letting go with it. If Wlad can throw the right hand or left hooks he of course has a shot because both those punches are devastating when he lets them go and they land. I just can't see him firing off too many of those considering the fire that will be coming at him, so his opportunities will be very limited.
Young lion/ old lion and when that young lion is the real deal you do not want to be the old lion.

Better start preparing ourselves now for the most mind-numbingly boring episode of 'Gloves Off' ever aired, then
