Wlad will stop him in eight. I think it will be a very comprehensive win for him, Crease.

AJ wins by KO/TKO rounds 1-6

I want AJ to win. It's British boxing after all and it's probably better for the sport as a whole to have an exciting heavyweight division.

I've changed my prediction though. I think Wlad will win by KO possibly after 2/3 rounds....

Can't wait to the ring walks! I hope Stormzy is there representing for da yout blud

I think Wlad after a round or 2 will have AJ measured for the counter and that will be that.

Wlad to ko Joshua in the 5th

Joshua in 8. It would be awful for the division if a 41 year old jab and grab specialist was back calling the shots.

I want AJ to win but I think Wlad might actually have enough left. I hope I'm wrong.

Klitschko between 7-12.

Klitschko by stoppage in round 7. Left hook lead followed by that big right hand. Boom, man dem taste deck.

Unless we get an injury of some kind, which for some reason has been troubling me like a filthy old slapper

..close one, Joshua winning on points..

AJ to stop him in the first 6 rounds.

I can see AJ going for an early onslaught and combined with Klitschkos hugging, holding and leaning style getting worn out by the latter rounds and KO'd.

AJ is too flat and basic to cause Wlad any problems.

Cant wait for the fight.

Cant 100% predict an outcome but this is how i see it.

1-6 AJ by ko or stoppage.

6-12 if the fight has reached this point and its a bore with pushing and grappling I can see AJ gassing late on and getting stopped.

I could see most scenarios playing out but i'll stick with Joshua in 6

Big Frank said this week that Joshua could win very early and I've been thinking about it, I predict Joshua by spectacular KO in the first or second.

AJ stoppage in the second half. Wlad will get his hits in, I can even see both of them going down or wobbling, but later on AJs power will be too much for a 41yr old.

This was my original pick. I've flip flopped about 4 bajillion times so I'm going back to this.

AJ will be blowing of of his arse come round 8. His best chance into catch Wlad cold and hope Wlad don't survive.


We dont feckin know. Aint that a great feeling

I can see joshua blitzing wlad within 3 rounds but i can also see wlad walking aj onto a massive right hand. My heart is saying aj all the way but then doubt creeps in and i think wlad has a lot more to offer than what we think. I havent picked a round cause i cant pick,i just hope aj wins

Wlad halts an exhausted Joshua in the 8th.

AJ wins by KO/TKO rounds 1-6

Hard to predict. Leaning towards Wlad but obviously hope Dr Humblehammer does the business.

vlad wins by late stoppage.

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.
