War Wlad!

I have this feeling Wlad will knock Jousha out...

Wlad must see something, there is this sense of confidence about him

Wlad wasnt confident about Fury, you could see it through the presser, and then him pulling out the fight with a fake injury, he saw something in Furys style, which made him feel uncomfortable

Jousha is showing too much respect to Wlad for my liking, but we'll find out soon enough

Right. Wlad better not be the same guy who showed up to fight Fury. If he does AJ will make it a short night for him.

We will see on fight night, Joshua is a lot more straight forward for Wlad and his style is more suited for that situation.

If Wlad fights timid I can't see that beating Joshua, but if he goes in there and fights with some confidence letting his hands go at a decent Wlad rate you never know.

[Jkp]

Aj will do fine, as long as wlad throws no punches and just cowers in the corner , like Aj's other 18 opponents.

I think it's obvious that on paper Joshua is an easier opponent for Wlad than Fury in the sense Joshua is very orthodox, quite flat footed and moves in straight lines. He will be right there in front of Wlad's jab. I've no doubt Wlad can still crack with the right hand too. If this was a few years ago, it wouldn't be out of the question to say that Joshua's style is tailor made for Wlad.

If Joshua can't do anything to negate that jab, then once Wlad gets confident the right hand will start coming into play.

I think Joshua has to either try to put it on Wlad early and make him scared to throw, or show us things we have never seen from him and take away the jab. The more comfortable Wlad gets, i think the more difficult it will be for AJ. He's never been with anybody like Wlad, skill wise, style wise or just nowhere near that level.

If Wlad has anything left at all, then i don't think it's a straight forward night for Joshua at all.

That's why Joshua didn't seem to confident in the post fight interview in the Molina fight when Hearn announced the Wlad-Joshua fight, and the reason why Wlad isn't taking Fury to court to force a rematch, you hit several points in that post my friend

[Travycat]

Wlad is a smart fighter. I like that even coming off a loss, he doesn't duck and just wants the belts back. A lot of heavies (champs and number 1 contenders) come off wins and still won't fight the other belts or best. I give the guy respect. He's financially stable for life and still just wants those belts.

[NahMean]

He is oozing confidence.. He knows something. But for the sake of the heavyweight division I hope AJ wins.
