Wlad is 41

[RussB23]

Let that sink in. Watched his workout today and he actually looked very sharp and quick. But i dont remember the last time i ever saw a 41 year old look good in a fight aside from B hop.

Will wlad pull a B hop or will he just get brutally KOD? i dont know what to expect to be honest. He looked like **** in his last 2 fights. I just have a feeling he is biting off more than he can chew.

Physically he's in great shape but he could still look old and past it once the bell rings. Only time will tell, Saturday is coming up soon. I can't wait

I have a feeling thats what it will be. once the bell rings he will look shot. hope he surprises me though

41 year old Wlad would probably be favoured over any other active heavyweight. The circumstances aren't ideal but if he loses it's more to do with Joshua imo.

Looks way way faster than AJ's workout!!!!

Even though I want AJ to win I would hate to see Wlad look like a shot fighter. AJ fights Wlad in front of 90,000 at Wembley so this better be good, let's hope for a competitive fight.

Wlad has always had good feet and quicker than people think, people think he's some stiff robot but his feet especially when moving out of range were so quick. Haye thought he was going to go in there and be far too quick for Wlad and it just wasn't the case. It wasn't just Wlad's height and reach that did Haye, it was the feet too.

This is a totally different scenario of course. I still think people are reading too much into the Fury loss. Fury's style is just bad for Klitschko. Joshua's style is much more suitable for Wlad...

But as you say, he's 41. It comes to a point where experienced and seasoned just becomes over the hill and this may be where it shows big time. Anyway, if AJ wins, i'll still give him full credit as i'd pick Wlad at even 41 to beat pretty much everybody in the division but there's no getting past the fact he's not just 41 but an inactive 41.

Okay the first minute or whatever of that is the weirdest boxing warmup I've ever seen I believe.

And yea all things considered he looks & moves fantastic for a 41 year old guy, but in boxing being a way above average 41 year old man isn't gonna win you fights. That said he can punch, Joshua's chin isn't so great & hell when you got 240+ lb men punching you in the face your chin probably isn't supposed to hold up at a certain point so who knows what happens.

I'm picking & rooting for Joshua to win cuz I kinda wanna see some new stuff at HW, but if Klitschko can win respect to him on still being "the baddest man on the planet" at a age few cats are the baddest man on their block.

Whilst i agree with that, i would be hilarious to see the look on the faces of all the cronies at Sky if Wlad goes in there and wipes the floor with AJ. I'm rooting for Wlad for that reason alone.

Once the bell rings his trigger will be jammed and he won't be able to pull it.
