Lmao @ 41-year old Klischko knocking AJ out.

When was the last time Vlad Klischko knocked out anyone taller than 6'4 with almost the same reach reach as him? I'm sure you know Vlad and Vitale are two different Klischkos, no? Better don't waste your money on that type of bet because it's never going to happen.

Both have almost the same reach and height. Both had great amateur careers with Olympics medals...so they can both box. However, AJ has the advantage in age, agility, power, hunger, and raw strength - while Vlad has experience to his advantage.

Don't expect AJ to fight him the same way he fought Dillian Whyte due to emotions and wanting to shut the guy up. He's going to box him, take away the highly effective jabs, and wear him down with speed and pot shots. The 41-year old wouldn't be able to deal with what's going to hit him once it's past the 6th round. If Klischko is going to have a chance - he has to do it from round 1-3. After that, his chin and old legs would have to come up big. Put your money on AJ...he's in his best shape ever and he's hungry.

sirshymexx i hail ooo. I do want omoluabi to win today sha.

Odds are on Anthony to win.

Hard to think a 41-year old will win a 27-year old in a game of boxing. Guessing it will be down to wit and grit.

Anyway, Nigerians will naturally gravitate towards Anthony.

Peter Fury, who trained nephew Tyson to beat Klitschko, told BBC Radio 5 live:

"Klitschko probably folds his bed sheets a certain way. So what do you give someone who is a perfectionist? Give him everything he hates. Upset his rhythm, fire shots from all angles.
"I think it's too soon for Joshua. I think his boxing skills leave a lot to be desired. I think he gets hit far too easy, especially with the jab. On a world level you can't be open like that.
"I think a lot of it is inexperience. Ultimately if you've got a leaky defence in the heavyweight division, I don't care if you have dynamite in both hands, you are coming unstuck sooner or later."

What your take

AJ's undoing will be his putting in too much efforts in the early stages. He will tire out too quickly and the sly Dr Steelhammer will finish him off.

IMO Aj never gather much experience.... But i want him to win this.
Re: Anthony Joshua Beats Wladimir Klitschko: WBA Heavyweight Fight by LordOfNaira: 9:53pm On Apr 29, 2017
I also think AJ has got no slyness, no strategy, just raw strength.

Quote me, experience will win this. AJ will lose!!!

I am sorry.

Anthony should have requested for a Nigerian pre flight song.

I like the fact that the Nigerian flag is displayed in his corner.

Unfortunately, he won't win, except by luck.

For one thing, his inexperience is glaring, he throws punches but does little to ward off punches. He rushes everything and has been lucky all the way. This fight will be his greatest test yet. He is about to learn how to box properly. If he wins, fine, but I doubt he would.

I honestly do not see AJ winning this fight.

Klischko has the advantage of experience over him.

It's too early in his career to take on such an experienced and much older fighter. I think he's doing this fight solely for the paycheck.

For AJ, it's £16million in earnings just from one night.

My prediction : AJ is knocked out in the 10th round and Klischko retires from professional boxing after this.
remind of Mike Tyson's age when he wiped the floor with veteran champions.


Anthony Joshua is the future. He's the truth
