Hearn and some people think Wlad is done or on his way out, the fact that he took this fight in England made me believe he would be well prepared for it. The only thing here is both fighters need a strong refs, Wlad would be Wlad which means grab after one jab etc If he gets a weak refs then he is winning this fight all day long, Joshua would be holding for a strong refs that would break them up and not tolerate the holding, grabbing or mauling.

The best referee for this fight would be Jay Nady, Steve Smoger or Ingo Barrabas. Ingo Barrabas is a solid ref & he let's the guys fight out of clinches but will break when it is starting to become a problem. Jay Nady doesn't put up with any holding whatsoever which can make for exciting fights but sometimes he gets in there too quick but I'd rather have him break them up then see them grab & jab. Just ask John Ruiz & Norm Stone what they think of Jay Nady. Then we have Steve " Let them kill each other" Smoger who just stands back & let's guys slug it out & often turns a blind eye to some dirty tactics. He doesn't take sides & allows both to get away with stuff. He will not tolerate too much grabbing though... These are my 3 favorite refs for HW fights...

I recently watched some sparring footage of Wlad preparing for this fight and he couldn't even let his hands go in sparring. He has, and always will fight scared. Klit is in big trouble here.

This is so true clit has been looking over his shoulder even in public scared of Shannon Briggs running up.

I just got a feeling wlad will be overwhelmed by the speed and power at this age and after the layoff. Aj is just as big and hits just as hard if not harder and is a better combination puncher with a solid jab as well. Dude is a monster. I still think his chin is suspect though and want to see if wlad can hit him with something to check his chin.
