I'm not as down on the K brothers as Tuan...but I agree completely with this view of how the fight goes...and why it goes that way...Tuan_Jim wrote:Everyone seems to have forgotten, perhaps understandably, Klitschko's nine year reign. This is a man who was afraid to take chances against seriously awful opponents - but now he's going to pick apart Anthony Joshua? I'm not hypnotised by the Sky/Hearn hype, but it's obvious Joshua in terms of attitude, fitness and power is leagues above Tony Thompson, Sam Peter, Ruslan Chagaev, and rest of Klitschko's fatty hordes. He was petrified of a Tyson Fury counter, as he was Ibragimov and Haye, but he's going to remain calm and composed with Joshua's fists cocked and ready to fly? It would be very odd for a man to alter his MO this late in his career.
I'm sure his plan is to brilliantly pick apart and punish Joshua, but at 41 versus a man his own size he won't be so evasive and I see him being put to sleep before he can execute any strategy. The number of power shots he throws might be very few.
Yeah that's a solid post imoEzzard wrote:I'm not as down on the K brothers as Tuan...but I agree completely with this view of how the fight goes...and why it goes that way...Tuan_Jim wrote:Everyone seems to have forgotten, perhaps understandably, Klitschko's nine year reign.

41 year olds stamina has been proven to be terrible. He can only go 12 in dances. Fights he gasses/gets KOd. This will be a fight filled with tension and menace!rd350lc wrote:41 yr old stamina proven , young 'un not proven .samwbr wrote:If Joshua gasses the 41yr old will have already gassed.
I always respect your opinion mr Jim , but we havn't the foggiest of how Joshua himself will react to a war of a fight .Tuan_Jim wrote:41 year olds stamina has been proven to be terrible.

As I do yours! I have a horrible vision of a gassed Joshua collapsing in 9, but am recklessly sticking to my Joshua wins by early demolition prediction. He did look alarmingly drained for a couple of rds after Whyte tagged him.rd350lc wrote:I always respect your opinion mr Jim , but we havn't the foggiest of how Joshua himself will react to a war of a fight .Tuan_Jim wrote:41 year olds stamina has been proven to be terrible.

His reaction with that muscle bound physique may well be worse than Wlads .
I can see him falling apart towards the later rounds if he doesn't get the early KO .
Agreed , that was a very strange reaction from him in that fight from not even a flush shot .Tuan_Jim wrote:As I do yours!
