What is intriguing about this fight is neither fighter is 100% favourite to win, I hear people saying this will be a slugfest, Joshua is going to KO klitschko, klitschko is going to take AJ to school. Yeah I hear all of that.
Let me tell you from now, I have watched boxing for about 15 years now, I was a manic fan of the mike Tyson era, Floyd Mayweather also. This fight I am not excited about because I fear what may happen and I hope it doesn’t.
I believe klitschko will win on points and I will tell you why
Klitschko is no underrated as a defensive fighter, in my opinion he is one of the greatest defensive heavyweights I have ever seen, this guy has mastered the skill of movement and dictating the pace in the ring. If you watch all of his fights, he specifically wants to fight guys who are KO specialists for example Alexander Povetkin who has won 30 fights 22 by KO, Lamon Brewster who has won 35 fights 30 by KO, Bryant Jennings who won 19 fights 10 by KO, the list can go on and on.
The great Emanuel Steward turned klitschko from an aggressive puncher to a defensive-orientated boxer hence making him the second longest reigning heavyweight champion is HISTORY. Emanuel steward believed the days of being an aggressive puncher is over, if you wanted to increase the longevity of your boxing career then you should learn how to not be aggressive but be patient and know how to nullify your opponent. Ask lennox lewis that is exactly how he beat mike Tyson, and later beat a hungry vitlali klitschko who was a young aggressive puncher.
Im not saying Joshua is not a good fighter, trust me I believe
Joshua can be a world class fighter, but I believe this is too soon for him because I watch all of his fights, and one thing that he lacks is head movement. If you can’t move your head, all klitschko has to do is jab jab and then win on points, my fear is that Joshua will try to treat klitschko like the other fighters he has fought and you cannot do that, not against a guy who knows how to beat KO specialists. Joshua needs to change his game slightly and not be aggressive but patient.
Watch how Tyson won the fight, from a casual point of view it was a horrendous fight, but from a technical view it was impressive from fury. Fury knew there is no point is trying to KO klitschko and plus even fury learned that you can KO people all you like but there will come a time where a fight will ask of you to be technical and patient and I don’t know is Joshua has that in him because of his inexperience.
I would love to be proven wrong and see Joshua beat klitschko but looking at the opponents of klitschko and how similar they are to Joshua, it is hard to bet against klitschko, look at what he did to david haye, he completely nullified his strengths and haye could not land any hayemakers on him
