Comments Thread For: Photos: Anthony Joshua, Wladimir Klitschko Open Workouts

[mathed]

Klitschko looks jacked, wow.

I know, the man hasn't fought in over a year but he looks like he's been crushing it at the gym every day. He's got bigger arms than Joshua....

Robert McCracken looks like a drunk holding the pads for AJ!

Both guys are the same height and weight, but it's obvious from looking at them that Wlad is the naturally bigger man and AJ is carrying more "Gym weight". That's what gives him his explosive power, but it will slow him down in the later stages of the fight, if it goes late.

Wlad doesn't look like an old man to me. He looks sharp, fit, and ready to rumble. AJ has to take him out or lay some serious punishment on him in the first 5/6 rounds, or he's going to be in trouble, imo.

I think Klitschko's still going to be very competitive and it wouldn't surprise me if he wins. They sparred about 20 rounds together less than 2 1/2 years ago for the Kubrat Pulev fight...Dillian Whyte was also one of Klitschko's sparring partner for that fight. When I think about that if Klitschko's in really good shape which he appears to be in...you can't underestimate him in spite of how he looked against Fury. Either way I think this is going to be good.

Wow, I just saw both of their open workouts on video.

And I am surprised at Klitschko's speed and combination punching for being 41 years old. He was moving around well and displayed skill, technique, speed, etc....

Joshua looked okay. Joshua looks a lot bigger but not as fluid and quick as Klitschko. I'm shocked here.

If Klitschko can fight like he throws combos and skill display in this workout during the fight, he's going to give Joshua serious problems. The question is will he throw punches like that or will he not pull the trigger when he gets hit.

I may have to change my prediction of this fight now to not really knowing what can happen. Klitschko may very well win.

Now I think Joshua has to be aggressive with Klitschko. Smart but aggressive and press him. He can't sit back if Klitschko is going to box like that and be that fast. But will Klitschko do it in the actual fight is the question.

I'm on the fence now with what I think will be the outcome of the fight. Of course I'm rooting for Joshua and want him to win. And he can if he uses smart aggression on Klitschko and not allow him to box and get his punches off like that.

But now I don't know what to predict.

Robert McCracken sucks as a pad work guy. That was awful.

I was surprised at how good Klitschko looked. Has me wondering about my prediction now. I'm kind of on the fence now with this one.

Man, I don't know.

[jaded]

WOW...this did not impress me at all. LOL Klitschko won this exhibition big time.

[turnedup]

Good luck to both men. Mofo's look like they ate a whole GNC store each.

What the fuck is McCracken doing with the pads? He looks like a drunk trying to goad somebody into fighting him outside a pub. Lol.

Wlad looks scary, like a man possessed. I guess he feels he has something to prove, despite his awesome record, after the way Fury bamboozled him.

Klitschko Klitschko Klitschko !!

Lol, yeah McCracken does look like that. He looks like a ****ing ******. SMH

I'm thinking Joshua has to use smart aggression now and press Klitschko, smart aggression with aggressive, hard counter shots. And when he does hit him, hit him hard, to the head body.

Joshua can't try to box with him. Not if Klitschko is going to look like the way he was hitting those pads. I also question whether Klitschko is going to fight like that Saturday. Hitting the pads is one thing. I wonder if he's going to pull the trigger. Particularly after taking a good punch.

But yeah as of right now, I have no prediction now. I'm not sure. If Klitschko fights like the way he hit these pads, wow.

We will find out soon enough.
