I wonder if it will be Wladimir himself who is spooked by his position. He's only been challenger thrice in his life and two times it was in winnable assignments versus Chris Byrd, a beefed up middleweight.
Other time was Brewster.
I wonder what affect it will have on Wladimir's mindstate to be in a foreign country, hostile crowd, with an all-new sort of champion to dethrone. He's in new territory - at 41!

I can think of no greater overwhelming evidence or proof that AJ will be knocked clean out on Saturday night than that of a USB stick. Other than perhaps that of a USB stick that is stitched into a dressing gown maybe.....

Povetkin in Russia will have been worse in all respects.

Good point - although Wlad seemed to have his mate reffing that one.
I thought Wlad owned the room yesterday at the press conference.
AJ looked a little nervy. He seemed to stumble over his words a bit and by the end seemed to be looking at Wlad for direction in the head to head. All experience for the lad.

Do you think that's what will happen?
I hope I'm wrong but I fancy Klitschko. I think Fury beat him before they even got in the ring, he looks beyond relaxed here. I think he really fancies it too.

But will Wlad still feel relaxed once he gets clipped? As soon as that happens he might be relaxing inertly on the canvas.
Maybe 5 rounds. Depends how negative wlad is. I don't think looking relaxed counts for much. Some folks talk about experience, but Wlad has plenty of experience getting beat up by B level fighters. Tomorrow he'll see what it's like to get beat up by an A level one.

What happens when Joshua gets hit though?
The same - which is the beauty of this fight! But 10 years of bitter experience watching dreary Klitschko ballets tell he won't be the one to pull the trigger. I think he'll be in bad shape long before he gets the chance to land, but as I say, you never know.

I hope you're right. I'd love AJ to put the full stop on the era that Fury finished. The heavyweights are a vibrant division again, and a huge part of that is down to Wlad not holding three belts fighting boring fights, I just have doubts.

I predict that wlad throws fewer than 5 right hands for as long as this contest lasts. Maybe fewer than 3.
