Comments Thread For: Joshua On Board For Klitschko Rematch, Principality Stadium Eyed

[Boxing Logic]

A rematch is ridiculous because Joshua will most likely improve because he is so young and somewhat inexperienced, he just had his first big experience, and Wlad is already too old, at 41 what he did vs. AJ was simply incredible. Had he been a few years younger I am sure he would have finished Joshua off after he knocked him down. He simply couldn't do it because he lacked the conditioning, strength an accuracy that a younger version of himself would have had.

I hope that that rematch never happens. If it does, Joshua will finish it whenever he wants to, in a couple of rounds, or more, he will just be toying with an over the hill Klitschko who did his very best yesterday and cannot offer any better than that. He can only get worse because he cannot fight aging.

Disagree. With Joshua's physique he is likely to gas again. Klitschko will likely also gas but a couple rounds later. There will be that window again around rounds 6, 7, 8 where Klitschko has more energy than Joshua. If Klitschko can make it to that point before getting KO'd, he could correct his mistake from last fight.

Also, I think the only reason Joshua took Klitschko's punch in the 6th was the 10 pound weight advantage. If Klitschko can come in say 4 pounds heavier, without losing his speed or stamina (easier said than done I know but IF), and make it only a 6 pound weight advantage for Joshua, that could make a big difference. 10 pounds between two punchers is putting your chin, and your power, at a major disadvantage. Pound for pound Klitschko looks to have just as much power in that right hand of his as Joshua does, but Joshua's had 10 more pounds of muscle on it, which made the difference in the end.
