Anthony Joshua vs Wladimir Klitschko

[Kevin D]

So the fight's on Saturday at Wembley, is anybody going?

 

This thread is for Predictions, videos, betting, articles, streaming links - all that good shit.

[General Dryness]

Klit on points.

[Anubis]

Klit will get pummeled by Joshua's thrusts.

 

 

 

 

 

And with that I take my leave of this thread.

[Furmedge]

Coral are doing double winnings if your pick wins in round 4, 5 or 6.

[Fowlers God]

I'm thinking a Joshua RND 4-6 bet

 

On a side note I have a double on Campbell an Quig to win by TKO

[VladimirIlyich]

Klitschko is pretty shit,it was his brother that was the good fighter. That said,if the fight goes a few rounds and Joshua tries to knock him out early Klitscko could have the stamina a lot more than Joshua,who has question marks over going late into a fight. Lets face it,a fight like this would have been no more than eliminator at best in the halcyon days of heavyweight boxing.

[Jose Jones]

Klitschko is pretty shit

Undisputed Heavyweight champion for a decade.

I've found a local pub showing it and really looking forward to it. I like Vlad and think he is a credit to his sport but I think his time is over and going for Joshua in round 4 or before.

[Baresi]

Hoping for a Joshua stoppage and will be backing him rds 4-6.

 

Will be watching free on iptv.

[Elite]

Very intriguing contest this.

[Stickman]

It's a tough on this as I like them both....So I'm going for a draw...

 

[Joe Strummer]

Joshua wins. Hopefully by KO.

[Captain Turdseye]

A draw by KO would be quite special.

[Kevin D]

A draw by KO would be quite special.

Merqui Sosa vs Charles Williams ended in a draw when the ref decided that both were not fit to continue. It's worth watching, too, really good action fight.

[Red74]

This Klits getting licked.

There's a Joshua documentary on BBC1 that I watched on demand last night, he seems like a decent enough guy and he's pretty likeable but there's just something not right about him for me and I can't quite put my finger on it, whether that it's that he's so media savvy from being with Team GB he's not being himself or he's being a version of himself that's just for the media, I'm not sure.

 

I don't mind him though I just don't like his fans who think he's the bollocks when in reality he's probably just the best of a bad bunch, it's not really fair on him to compare him to any past fighters because it's literally that shit at heavyweight that I'd say he's already the best in the world despite having hardly any fights. He destroys Wilder and Parker, Fury would be trickier but we've seen him get knocked down by Cunningham who's probably half Joshua's size! So he'd beat him comfortably aswell for me.

 

This is Joshua's biggest test, if he beats Wlad then he'll be Unified champion for a very long time, unless there's a young upstart that will burst on the scene in the next year or two. I keep changing my mind how I think this one will go but at the moment I'm siding with Joshua early.

I thought he came across great on that documentary. It was actually a really enjoyable programme.

I watched that last night as well. Pretty much agree with everything you've posted there. I've got nothing against AJ at all but the devil in me hopes he gets beat just to see the reaction of all those that have been licking his arse for the last couple of years.

 

If Wlad looks decent and Joshua still manages to beat him then I'll have my tongue out ready to join in.

[sir roger]

Think Joshua will look a bit green at times and not go as gung-ho as usual to save gassing , but Klitschko will be too gun-shy to take the necessary chances & Joshua wins in a fairly ordinary fight over 12 rounds.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

AJ Rd 4. 

 

Although I wouldn't be surprised at a close fight so as to ensure a rematch to take more money off the fans. 

[Boss]

Can't see any other scenario barre a Joshua victory. It's an old shopworn fighter coming up against a young KO artist. This is reminiscent of Marciano vs Walcott, Holmes vs Ali, Tyson vs Berbick. I reckon Joshua lands something on him in the first three rounds and Klitschko shits himself and goes into survival mode. It's up to Joshua at that stage whether he does a Mike Tyson on him and steamrollers through him, with the indelible image of the fight being Klitschko flopping all over the canvas or whether he does a Tyson Fury on him and bottles it, winning a snooze-fest of a decision.

 

But Klitschko looked horrendous in that Fury fight. He hardly threw a punch and gassed out by round 8. He looked awful against Jennings as well.

Joshua by devastating KO

I probably do want Joshua to win but like you say I'd quite like to shut up the dickheads, it could benefit him greatly to lose this and rid him of any hanger ons who gravitate towards the heavyweight champion of the world, also for his development to rid him of his 0 and 100% knockout rate it takes a pressure off him that occurs everytime he fights.

 

Let's face it, if he does lose this then he comes back and either fights Wlad again who will be another year older and then goes on to beat the other champions or takes an easier fight to comeback to then goes on to beat the other champions anyway. Either way he's dominating heavyweight boxing for the foreseeable future.

[Ginny]

Joshua win by Wlad disqualification for holding in the early rounds. Get money on it

[VladimirIlyich]

Undisputed Heavyweight champion for a decade.

Only because he wouldnt fight his brother and in an era of bums.
