AJ's main weapon is his speed and power in offense - his main weakness is his awkward defense, stiff movement.

Klit has the edge in technical boxing skill and vastly more experience (also better foot work too IMHO)...

Hopefully should be an awesome fight. ( Link pretty please!)...

I think you are underestimating the effect of him being 41.

As someone has pointed out, he looked like it in his last fight.

He ain't no Bernard Hopkins.

He's just a large, average boxer who's beaten a succession of chumps.

Did you watch his "fight" against Fury?

But doesn't klitscho look in better shape than his previous fight? lighter even?

Has the humiliation of losing after 10 years to nutcase Fury spurred him on.

Will Joshua 'I'm going to be a billionaire' big head get to him.

I want to see that African shaped shoulder Tattoo horizontal on the floor, with the ref waving the fight off.
Then hopefully border patrol will arrive, arrest and deport him back to Nigeria -charge:
Being an ungrateful 2'nd generation immigrant and willfully biting the hand that feeds you.


good un-hyped Dominic Ingle breakdown here

I am not convinced, as many people seem to be, that Anthony Joshua will blast through ...

But I keep wondering whether too much has been made of Klitschko’s defeat by Tyson Fury. Yes, he looked awful that night: slow and flat-footed and desperately trigger-shy.
The question is: how much of that was down to age and how much to Fury bamboozling him?
Because, make no mistake, the Gypsy King fought an exceptionally smart tactical fight, which was very different to what everyone expected.


Watch it again and you’ll see that when Fury attacked he boxed orthodox, with his left hand leading, but when Klitschko came forward he immediately switched to southpaw, fending him off with a right-handed jab.

Not only did that confuse his opponent but – crucially – it increased the distance between Klitschko’s right hand and Fury’s chin, making it harder for Wladimir to land with the heavy artillery.

Another factor in Fury’s favour was that he was the bigger man with the longer reach – which meant Klitschko could not get his powerful left jab off, from which everything else he does

Winning the battle of the jabs will be key. Yes, Joshua is tremendously fast and powerful, but Klitschko’s jab is more technically sound and accurate. And although he doesn’t look it, because he stands a bit upright, the Ukrainian is also very hard to hit.

Joshua has never been the distance. One of the worst things for a fighter is when they go into a bout knowing they may have to go 12 rounds for the first time. No matter how well they prepare physically, it gets in their head.

Klitschko will also want to find out how Joshua responds if he is put under sustained pressure. Because it is a different story when you have been beating up opponents and then somebody stands up to you, as Dillian Whyte did briefly to Joshua. That’s when some chinks in the armour appeared.

And, at the back of my mind, I wonder whether Klitschko might just be able to use all his nous to nullify Joshua’s tremendous physical talents, like Muhammad Ali did when he rope-a-doped the unstoppable George Foreman back in 1974, and shock us all – either with a points victory or late stoppage.

For fucks sake don't encourage me
I haven't been down the Bookies yet, and don't want to be eating bread and water all week.

Just watching a 2004 fight klitcho lost
His body looks in better shape today than then.
Some people are unkindly suggesting he may be a drug cheat.

I don't care I'll take a 'roid win!!

Bernard he is not, however he is a very good boxer. He didn't win all his fights just because he is big.

No, there was also the factor that his opponents were either washed up or just plain crap.

My admiration for Clit has gone up after this fight... both men were respectful towards each other...

"There were no losers tonight" Clit said. I agree, great night for boxing.
AJ needs to tighten his defense, he's shown to be vulnerable.

My boy Parker has only a puncher's chance against the big boys (sorry to say)... with his 76" reach vs 82" + reach of the big 'uns...

He will never get inside with his t-rex arms, he lacks the head movement of a Tyson (real Tyson, not that twat e furry)...
At least I'm being honest and practical about it... *hope I'm wrong..

Why on earth would the performance of a Ukrainian boxer make you proud?

Come on Harry, you are missing the point.

They put on a great show, both evenly matched (aside from the multi-generational divide ).. although Clit came up short, he gave an exemplary performance no?

Would you fail to be impressed, if a 41 year old Ivan Lendl, came close to beating an in prime 27 year old Andre Agassi?

Tough crowd.

Easterners do not like Mussies Richard.

Don't be dumb, he can't say there were no losers when he fucking lost.

Umm...Can we make it Henman coming close to beating Murray?

Murray is from district 11.
