To me, this fight means finding out how deep Joshua's talent truly goes and where Wlad is, mentally. Joshua has been capitalizing on blatant mistakes made by low quality HWs. I haven't yet seen him set traps and actually cause guys to make mistakes. He's more of an observe and attack kind of fighter, and will hopefully grow into someone who is more imposing and psychological.
Wlad is such a big question mark right now. If he has the focus he did against Pulev, I think he controls Joshua over 12 rds and takes advantage of his inexperience. If Wlad shows hesitation like he did against Jennings or Fury, I expect AJ to only compound Wlad's problems by hitting him hard, causing him to go into defense mode and lose numerous rounds.
