Comments Thread For: Fury's Coach Gives Klitschko The Edge in Anthony Joshua Clash

Major step for Joshua, if his chin can't take Wlad's jab, it'll be London bridges falling down. David Price hurt Joshua, I imagine Wlad will too. On the other side of the coin, Joshua doesn't have Tyson's feet. Wlad's going to be able to set and get comfortable.


It's crazy how Fury/Klitschko II was struggling to sell tickets at the 21,000 seat Manchester arena, but Joshua/Klitschko sold 90,000 seats no problem.

Might have something to do with the fact that fury/klit 1 was one of the most boring HW fights of all time??

There was a huge pricing **** up with Fury vs Wlad II. They obviously promised Wlad a bucket load of money to make the fight in the UK, then had to make the ticket prices ridiculously expensive, assuming people would be well excited to see the fight and would pay whatever to see it.

Then they realised without Sky Sports promotion nobody sells tickets like they were expecting and the whole thing flopped. You also had injuries, drugs tests and drawn out negotiations which left everyone (correctly) wondering if the fight would ever happen.

Im giving Joshua the edge of 60-40 to win. He is young, in terrific shape, and definitely has the pedigree of a disciplined boxer/puncher, which is the perfect combination in the heavyweight division. Wladimir's biggest advantage by far is his experience, at 41 Klitschko's best days are well past him, I just hope we get at least 60% of the old Wlad.
