Anthony Joshua vs. Wladimir Klitschko for IBF/WBA Titles (Saturday, April 30th)
Anybody going to watch this on Saturday?
Boxing is so terrible now that I am actually looking forward to this. :-[
I don't want to pay though.
Hopefully, somebody here will know how to see it online for free. ;)
-
This is a interesting match up, everyone seems too be picking Joshua for a quick knockout, my prediction if Joshua can not get Klitschko out of there in 5 rounds...the 41 year old will take him into deep water and drown him, the smart money's on Joshua's youth and power, the unknown fact is after 5-6 rounds imo favours the older war horse though exspearnce we will soon know been a real long time since there's been any interest in heavyweight boxing this match is possibly worth a look. My prediction the 41 year old Klitschko stops Joshua round 10.
-
Interesting to see what Wlad has left. He hasn't fought for a few years and looked bad in his previous two fights. If he's shot, then Joshua should have him out before the 6th round. If he has something left, then I can see it going to distance with Joshua taking a close UD.
A younger Wlad would have beaten AJ though.
-
Wlads been out for a long time - Joshua has kept himself fit & busy.
Experience/ ring craft / Durability - Wlad
Speed / Hunger / Big Punch - Joshua
Very much depends what sort of Wlad turns up to fight
If he is anything like the version that fought Fury ::)
It's End of the road for him.
-
Bodybuilding related.... AJ has an amazing physique, 6'6 with big quads... Usualy tall boxers have legs like skinny supermodels.
Our family are all getting together to watch this one, will be a good night... I think if he goes for it, it wont go past 3 rounds, hope he isn't too cautious/respectful
-
Pillow fight of peace. Da cage is where its at, I keep telling you.
-
An interesting one. Vlad seems determined to prove that the Fury fight was a bad night and he is now motivated to win again. Joshua has massive punch power but it's hard to know whether his chin can hold up to Klitschkos power. Whyte nearly flattened Joshua in that fight with one punch.
-
Any heavyweight cought flush is in trouble, its not like the lighter weights were they punch non stop for 12 rounds ...

Did you watch the Whyte and Chisora fight? They busted each other for the whole fight without a knockout.
Im not saying Joshua hasn't got a chin but it will be interesting to see how he deals with Wlad's power.
I think Joshua wins but I would like to see a more active Klitschko come out to fight.

whyte was shite that night as well. fat, unfit and with apparently a messed up shoulder. it was suprising he couldn't put a dent in chisora at 100% plus chisora had him out on his feet a few times during the fight (I think there was a knockdown not counted as well, and one time he looked like he was out cold for a moment but bounced back off the ropes).
it will be good for the division if aj has a bit of a chink in the armour or he'll run out of people to flatten.

If AJ can take the power shots from Wlad and keep coming then he will dominate the whole division for a long time.
-
Most experts are picking Joshua to KO Wlad early. Hard to say what he has left, but he is definitely motivated for this fight and I'd say the pressure is on Joshua. Joshua may KO him early, but if he doesn't and the ref allows Wlad to use his clinch and hold to wear Joshua down, I could see a late stoppage win for Wlad.

Yeah if he goes with jab and grab it could be a long night for AJ.

Joshua should kill him after that embarassing display with Tyson Fury.
-
really looking forward to this fight. it's so hard to call. i have a sneaky feeling joshua wins on points or late rounds knockout .
-

Wlads last two fights were terrible. I hope he hasn't lost it completely because this will be a painful lesson.
If he has a renewed motivation and comes to fight it will be a good fight.

fight against fury wasn't that bad. fury is a lot better than most think. sht style to watch but very effective and hard to beat.
-
The last "good fight" of Klitschko is a about 2-3 years ago.....knock out against Pulev. Would be interesting to watch if he could turn back time or not ? Joshua was a former Sparring partner of Klitschko so both knew each other well.
I believe both go for a knockout. The chins of both are the weakness, but also both have a great knock-out rate. I don´t know who will win....but i hope we will have a clear decision. If Klitschko loose he should end his Long carreer with this fight. A former Trainer of me is today one of Wladimir s Sponsors (owner of a german boxing Company).

The fight against Fury was awful. He hesitated to throw his right for the whole fight. At times he cocked it as if to throw it and then didn't throw. Fury was awkward but to be fair he wasn't much better that night. They both were terrible but Fury deserved the win.
Wlad decided to throw a few punches in the final round and looked ok then. If he had done that the whole fight he would still be champion.

fury always looks awful but that was my point, that's just his style and he generally makes his opponents look awful too but he is very difficult to beat. not great to watch unless you really enjoy the tactical element of HW boxing. I actually backed fury to beat klitscho on points at 12-1.

I think Fury is a good fighter - he just wasn't good on that night. He didn't "beat" Klitschko he just about out pointed him - purely because Wlad didn't punch. If Wlad had showed more output and landed a few then we would have had a boring Klitschko point decision.
Fury vs Chisora shows Fury as a good fighter. He was extremely dominant in both those fights.

yep
fury makes everyone look shit
-
Big fight for both and an interesting result for the HW division either way.
Klitschko loses and he's done professionally and needs to retire and make way for the next generation of fighters. It will be two losses in a row and move him way down the line to get a contender fight...and he's only getting older If he wants to stay relevant, get paid, and make a legitimate run to get the titles back he needs this win.
Joshua needs this win to show he's ready to unify the belts. If he loses the HV division becomes a mess...if he wins then it sets up the inevitable challenge to Wilder. The winner of that will need to fight Fury to become the undisputed champ.
-
yep
fury makes everyone look shit
he drags people down to his level....

;D I don't think thats fair either. Fury is a tricky fighter and got inside Wlads head in that fight. I don't think either of them fought a good fight that night.
Klitchsko has no excuse for this fight - saw the open workout last night and he looks prepared (so does Joshua though)

Hmm..This is my fear with Joshua. IF his chin is suspect then it could be a very bad night for him. Klitchsko has knockout power in both hands.

all boxers get wobbled from time to time it's how they respond that's the key. some cannot shake a punch others can look out on their feet and then manage to clear their heads and get through it.
amateurs is a different game, from that footage above the ref stops it before you can see how joshua reacts to getting rocked. tbh i think dylian whyte probably had him in more trouble in the 2nd round of their fight than that above,and he came through that fine.
plus klitscho also has question mark against his chin and he's rarely (probably never ever) been in with someone that hits as hard as joshua.

Correct - It will be interesting to see how well either of them can take the others power. Klitschkos chin has been suspect and he has essentially developed a style that avoids getting blasted by power shots.
I don't know about him not being in the ring with guys that hit as hard as AJ though - Chris Byrd, Sam Peters and Povetkin are all big punchers.

Byrd a big puncher? LOL.
Peters was heavy handed for sure and Povetkin has a decent dig on him, as did Brewster, Wach and Brock. Haye of course can bang too. The question marks regarding Wlad's chin really only came after the Sanders loss but the shots he took against the South African would have dropped 99% of HW's. The losses against Purrity and Brewster were more down to stamina issues.

I agree that Fury is hard to beat but Wlad definitely looked somewhat shot in that fight. Wlad, while robotic, has always been very fast for a bigger guy and capable of covering distance quickly. Against, Fury, his legs looked tired and slow. Even in his previous fight against an average Jennings, he looked laboured.
Wlad is 41 now. Outside of Hopkins, I can't think of a recent boxer who can still operate at the highest level at that age.
From a boxing perspective, Joshua has a lot to lose and little to gain from this fight.

He has everything to gain from this fight, this puts him on the map as top dog and the man to beat, even if he looses it will be put down as too much too soon.
Wilder has been champ for years and never had any intention of fighting wlad
-

he can loose his title, of course, but with a win against Klitschko he will get a much higher Reputation in Boxing, and will make much better "deals" in the future. Joshua did not boxed the "best names" in Heavyweight boxing, and now he can make himself much greater than before. I think that Wladimir have much more fights in his "Card" is not a very big Advantage, cause he also was to lomg "out" of the Ring, and also his last good fight (Pulev) is some years ago.....
-

I think Joshua has to beat Wilder and Fury to establish himself as the top dog in the division. Wilder hasn't fought anyone but is still an unbeaten champion.
If Joshua beats Wlad, he beats a shot fighter so won't get much kudos. If he loses, then he's lost to an over-the-hill fighter and will be dismissed as being a "hype job".
It's a great fight for Wlad since he has everything to gain and nothing to lose at this stage of his career.
-
I dont think he's realy thought of as a washed up fighter, apart from nutjobs on boxing forums... Aj and wlad are by far 1 & 2 in the division
If fury was active that would change things.... I predict wilder and parker will avoid each other in the hope of a huge pay day in the UK. In reality they should fight each other next and face the winner of the aj v klit fight, I very much doubt that will happen and will fights bums until they have no choice
Fury v AJ could sell out Wembley 3 times over, if the fat pikey cu*t could ever get back in fighting shape

Fury sux dudes.........why even mention him ???
-

I don't think he's washed up, but he's still a 41 year old, fighting after a long layoff and who's had poor showings in his last two fights. His last good performance was against Pulev and that's going back a few years now.
He's still a skilled and calculating operator so can spring an upset but he's clearly not the same man he once was.
-
klitscho is probably past his very best but he's still in fantastic shape and a very live opponent for anyone. there's still only 2/3 at most current fighters that would stand a chance against him even now.
people keep saying how bad he was against fury but that's not because he's shot or washed up, it's because he was fighting against a very effective, very big guy. klitscho likes to bully his opponents, push them around, lean on them and generally keep them off balance. he couldn't do that with fury because for once he came up against someone bigger and stronger than himself with a longer reach. who also happens to be technically very effective.
people saying klitscho didn't throw enough punches etc etc, which is very easy for an onlooker to point out. a bit harder to implement when you're in against a very awkward 6 foot 9 giant who is punishing you every time you miss.
i see him having a similar issue with joshua. he is going to find it difficult to push joshua around and what joshua lacks in awkwardness compared to fury he makes up for in power.
-
We'll know soon enough.

WHy has AJ got a protruding gut?

I think being tall with long limbs and muscular/athletic is the ideal look. AJ's abs look wonky in a FDB but he's got elite arms.

If it goes 12 Klitschko wins. I got money on Wlad pulling out the win.
All along I have been thinking no way Wlad has enough at this point. I'm not so sure now.
Im starting to think Wlad by points now
-
Wlad looked sharp on the pads
But
if joshua hits him clean its lights out for wlad
ref will play a big part
if he lets klitchko spoil and grab like he likes to do
joshua might get frustrated and walk in to one
-
I think the match will be decided by points.
-
the thing with joshua is he hasnt really fought anyone that is even remotely good.
over 6 klit wins
-
Anyone saying fury sucks has never boxed a day in their life. Having said that, I think it will go to wladimir tonight.

Joshua is a bit like yates, looks much greater in person... I seen him fight early on in his career and he is an imposing figure, much thicker and denser in real life

Was Joshua just messing around at the end or a little wobbly on his legs?

:o :o :o
-
Holy fuck Klitschko coming back, AJ down!
-
Its over. The edomite lost.
-
Holy fuck, AJ wins! Wtf, looked like Klitschko was edging him out in the later rounds..
-
Very good fight, not great. Strong ending, up until then I thought AJ narrowly edging him on points. Nice to see some life in the HW division.
-
Klitscko down. I hope he retires now. He was on Top for a very long time, it was about time that someone younger, who could keep up with him physically, takes his spot...

Klitschko could have won that fight, he's definitely not washed up..

Certainly, but fair play to Joshua, my friends were betting among themselves watching it, after round ten two of them bet €200 on the Russian with another mate who had Joshua, I know nothing about boxing so I didn't, it made for a great night. Very good fight, they both went at it.
-
Anyone know where one can watch a replay?
-
Found one.
The announcers may annoy.
-
Joshua is technically way better than wilder, but wilder always seems to connect, and has crazy ko power, probably put aj to sleep

These should work too -

Thanks.
Personally, I think they both suck.
Vlad is like a still tree or a stiff cock. No movement. Paws with the left. It dangles down around his waist. It's not even a jab.
Joshua is just about the same.
Neither can jab. Their foot movement is atrocious. In my opinion, Joshua's chin is suspect.
Did anyone even throw a single body shot? They are fucking head-hunters.
Prime Mike Tyson would've kicked the fuck out of these two homos in less than two.
I have new respect for that closet-fag Lennox Lewis now.
Even he beats both of these fairies.

He's thinking about a rematch, just for the money.....

Klitschco is a real class act..
-
Great fight. Both guys fought well. AJ showed he is the future of the division, that he can dig deep and is just as dangerous in the latter rounds as he is in the earlier ones. Wlad proved he is a hall of famer and an ATG HW. To box and move that well at the age he's at was amazing to see.
Huge respect for both men. That's what HW boxing is about.
-
Was a good fight and really could have gone either way.
Wlad could easily have been the winner had he gone for it after he knocks him down.
I struggle to see how AJ would beat Fury though.

tbh i think that fight was too soon for AJ. He won 3 out of the first 4 rounds. round 5 would be a 10-8, so he was more than comfortably winning the fight. had he kept his composure and not wildly punched himself out chasing the finish, klitscho never even gets into the fight. glaring inexperience from aj.
i think aj beats fury. he proved in the first part of klitscho fight he is a lot better technically than he is given credit for. against fury he will hold his own on the scorecard and eventually his power will catch up with him. and he will be immeasurably better for last night's experience.

i hope he doesn't as i think next time will be very one sided. i think klitscho gave his all in this fight and the preparation. should call it a day now. it's not like he needs the money.

I had Wlad winning the fight up until the KO. Both had a 10-8 round and the other rounds were fairly even. However, I think Wlad seemed more in control of the ring then AJ was.
I think AJ-Fury could go either way. AJ is superior to Fury in most areas but the latter can be quite slick and is just extremely awkward.

Watched the fight again today - I think Klitschko should have won. He should have steamrolled AJ after the knockdown. AJ had nothing left for two rounds.
He played it safe and it cost him the fight. It was a good fight though. Both put up a good fight.

Wlad doesn't tend to take risks. His stamina isn't great so his style is built on reserving energy. He also doesn't trust his chin so wouldn't do anything that could leave himself open to a counter. It usually wouldn't matter but in this fight, it proved costly. I do think a younger Wlad with quicker reactions and movement would have won this match, although AJ is probably around 3-5 years off his peak too.
A fight that would have been fun to see would have been AJ against a younger Vitali. The elder Klitschko was more robust then his brother and could brawl when he needed to. I think that could have been a war for the 5-7 rounds in lasts.
-
I actually graded the 5th round as a 9/10 for Joshua. Klitschko came back too strong after the knockdown, he actually dominated a lot of it.

Just saw the round again and would agree. Wlad recovered well from the knockdown and had AJ in trouble almost immediately afterwards.

i still think it was a 10-8 round. the thing is klitscho only gets into the fight because of aj's blatant inexperience. eddie hearn says aj actually ran to his corner screaming when klitscho was down. he thought it was all over and completely lost the plot wildly punching himself out. his near downfall was completely self induced. if he keeps his cool in that spot klitscho never poses a threat in the fight. would have probably been over in the 6th or 7th.

After AJ got up after that knockdown imagine if it were a 21 year old Mike Tyson coming at him.

imagine if Muhammad Ali had fought Mike Tyson, Mike wouldnt have made it into the ring if Ali had played his mind games on him, he would have destroyed his mind weeks before the fight.

???

I said Joshua would win it.
Klischko foght well,in fact if he fought like he did here against that bum Fury,he would have annihalted him in no time flat.
Good fight none the less.
-
Just my opinon but with 37 seconds left in the 11th. round,I thought the ref should have let it go on.
Early Stoppage Of Peace
-
i hope he doesn't as i think next time will be very one sided. i think klitscho gave his all in this fight and the preparation. should call it a day now. it's not like he needs the money.
Maybe you should call it a day

I agree. AJ didnt land any when Wlad was on the ropes . That would have been a serious round 12

ref gave Klitchko more time than he should have after the knockdowns, he wanted the fight to go on...

Wouldve, could've, should've. Klitschko got his ass whooped. Deal with it.
JOSHUA/WILDER make it happen!

Yes, a 38 - 0 joke. ::)
Is this your first time watching boxing?

Wilder gets massacred. Joshua and Klitschko are on a whole 'nother level.

Exactly

Wilder has fought a slew of tomato cans.
Stivern could have beaten him if he threw hands more. :(

who has wilder fought?
joshua would smash him inside 3

Was a good fight and really could have gone either way.
Wlad could easily have been the winner had he gone for it after he knocks him down.
I struggle to see how AJ would beat Fury though.
How is it so much of a struggle... AJ walks through his weak jabs and punishes him...even if he runs and holds for the whole fight AJ lands on him at some point.
He beat wlad cos he wouldn't pull the trigger as he was far too cautious, AJ definitely doesn't have that problem
-
This is a joke if the word rematch is even uttered.
Joshua needs to move on.
Besides, he still has a lot to learn.
The chin is not good.
Unimpressed.
A lot of guys fighting in the 80s and 90s would take him out.

Holmes would have fucked him up @ bout 210 bw

Vitali vs. Holmes would have been an interesting matchup.

Maybe because Joshua had a hard time against Klitshko while Klit didn't land a shot on Fury. ::)

I broke it down exactly how I see the fight going.... Fury has no punch, AJ will walk through him to get his shots off
Wlad was too cautious in the fury fight, I've watched fury since he turned pro I think you Americans over rate him

go ask klitscho which fight he found harder out of aj and fury. lol
aj and fury are both very good fighters with very different styles. but i think aj will have too much power him. fury's been on his ass 2 or 3 times already against nobodies and aj hits way harder than anyone he's ever faced.
-
Holmes would have fucked him up @ bout 210 bw
Holmes, Bowe, Holyfield, Tyson, Lennox, Ruddock and others.. Including the younger version of WK

With AJ on top and the likes of Fury, Wilder, Parker, Ortiz and Povetkin all in the mix, there are potentially great fights to be made in the HW division.
Another boxer to look out for in the future is Olympic gold medalist Tony Yoka. The Frenchman is tall, rangy and slick. The Klitschko's rate him highly and he could be a real force when he eventually turns pro.

I find Wilder to be a bit of an unknown due to the shit fighters he has been up against.

Yeah, he's mostly fought shitty opponents but he does have a couple of decent names on his record like Stiverne and Arreola. He also has a great right hand which makes him capable of beating anyone in the division if he catches them.
-
wilder would have a puncher's chance against josh but there's a huge gulf in class between the two. if the fight ever happens i could see aj walking through him in 3 or 4 rounds.
it's not really reliable but if you take a line through molina, it took wilder 9 rounds to get rid of him and molina even won a couple of the rounds . he couldn't get a punch off against aj and was steamrollered in 3.
