It was rubbish. Every camera angle was wrong. They didn't even film the face off right. How hard can it be?

Was absolute rubbish. And for such a big fight too.

I always find sky's boxing camera work shoddy.
But it was particularly bad today.

Yeah, and the fact they thought we'd be more interested in chit chat than hearing the weights announced. Had to wait til after to hear the girl in the studio say they both weighed "around 17 stone" even though they were ten pound apart.

I actually think that 250lbs might be too much on AJ's frame. I think Wlad is actually a naturally bigger man, but AJ has way more muscle. Not sure if that muscle gives him any advantage after the certain point.

Wlad looks amazing. If AJ wins it's not because Wlad is "fragile".

It could cause AJ to gas out quickly especially if he goes hunting for the knockout. Where it may help AJ to an extent is when Klitschko attempts to clinch. I could see AJ having the strength to get rough on the inside.
Definitely a risk/reward situation with the muscle on AJ. There's not really a point of comparison that yoi can make as most of the larger fighters Klitschko has fought have been somewhat less than athletic looking lol

Did anyone see sky sports coverage of the weigh in? The commentary talked right over the announcement of the weights and then the camera angle of the fighters and the stare down from the floor. Amateur hour or what?

yeh I noticed

Camera angles on the Manchester derby were ******ed last night too

Joshua seems a bit too big. All that mass won't help him if the fight goes past 8 rounds. He'll tire like Frank Bruno did down the stretch.

Hope aj doesn't put on any weight lol

Next to Wlad, AJ doesn't look that impressive physically speaking. Let's see how the fight turns out!

We all saw how quick and powerful aj was on the pads 4 days ago and his bag...his weight has not changed since then lol....if klitchcko can stand up to the shots that joshua is gonna land...then he is either on angel dust or he is logan.....when klitchcko gets tagged with the first real punch joshua lands you watch the look on klitchckos face...shock and horror..
sparring a novice pro joshua in 2013 and still joshua competed with him, guess what klitchcko is 4 years older and joshua has gained more experience....just you watch and what an amazing show its going to be...WAR AJ

[ruedboy]

He's got that old loose skin, like the wrestler ric flair. When joshua lands the ko punch klitschko will look like this

LOL for real!! Good one!
