Topic: Klitschko vs Josua Info and predictions (Read 1617 times)

I don't know if GGG can KO Canelo Alvarez but I think GGG will win the fight. I agree with you, GGG is too big for Canelo. I think Canelo can go as high as 170 lbs fully re-hydrated during fight night. But GGG will weight more than that for sure. But too much Mexican pride here, he will not back out of this fight even though we all know that he will lose.

I also think GGG will beat Canelo Alvarez. Canelo Alvarez is too small for a big guy like triple G. He is a natural 170 LBS guy, he's got a solid chin, he got the reach and height advantage and most importantly, he got the skill to use his physical advantage in his favor.


I think Canelo is going to get KO'd in less than 10 rounds.

I have to disagree with you @Hydrogen. I think GGG will beat Canelo. GGG is a true Middleweight and one of the hardest puncher now in boxing. Although his 2 last fight of wasn't impressive as compare to his other fights, still GGG is too powerful for Canelo. I think the fight between the 2 is already scheduled for Sept this year and Canelo will be just resting a few weeks then continue his training. I don't know if this is a good move for him but for me GGG is more tougher opponent than Julio Cezar Chavez. I'm so excited and I can't wait to see this fight!!!

Looks like Anthony Joshua could happen.

If Klitschko doesn't take advantage of the "rematch clause" in his contract, anyhow.

Right now I'm thinking Canelo will beat GGG.

Still need to watch more of GGG's fights to get a better idea of how good he is.

Looking forward to see Canelo vs Pacman or something.

Chavez Jr got rocked as expected by most people, he was the underdog. Canelo Alvarez is too good nowadays, he was going to outbox him for sure.

Now the next fight is clear. Canelo vs triple G. Pacman would be good too, but everyone wants to see the triple G fight.

I would like to see Floyd vs triple G in case GGG wins but that is never going to happen.

Klitschko never takes risks. He has a different strategy. He is very cautious. But in this battle caution led to defeat. He had to take a risk in the 6th round

I agree. Canelo is way better that JCC Jr. Its just so happened that he is a son of a legend that's why he took so many media attention. But they say that he is too lazy in training. He was exposed in the Martinez fight already and lost some of his stardom. While Canelo is rising to be Mexico's darling now. So I'm intrigue on how this fight goes.

Double KO is a rare feat and it has happened long back during a match against Ad Wolgast v Joe Rivers for the lightweight title both knocked them out but the referee helped Wolgast to his feet and counted River out and that was the most controversial decisions in boxing history.I have seen some amateur double KO videos in MMA and boxing in youtube which are really funny.

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr is the son of the legendary Julio Cesar Chavez, he's a good boxer but not as good as his dad. In this fight, he has the height advantage, the reach advantage, pretty much everything physical he got the advantage, bt Canelo Alvarez is overall the better boxer. Canelo got destroyed by Floyd but he has learned since then and has become a top competitor, I think he will win if he is able to find the right angles.

Guys, there is another major boxing event this weekend between 2 sons of Mexico:

Canelo Alvarez vs Julio Cezar Chavez. But I haven't seen any thread started yet on the fight? This is gonna be a huge fight don't you think? There should be a discussion board for this one. (Forgive me if a thread already exist).

For me, I understand there is a rematch clause, so I think they will fight again so that AJ can proved that his win over Wlad is not a fluke. I don't see him fighting Tyson Fury, Tyson is not ready yet.

I know Fury is awkward as hell to hit but can he be awkward for 12 rounds? Joshua will land one of his triple combos at some point. I can't wait to see how Fury handles it. AJ is smart man he doesn't go for the one punch knock out because he knows in the HW division it takes 2 to 3 punches to put a man of that size down.

I hope Tyson Fury can get back to his old self and fight Anthony Joshua. He is fighting another fight, which is battling mental health problems. But if ever the fight happen, I would also go for Tyson Fury. And I think this would be the next logical mega bout in Heavyweight division. My man Tyson should get back into shape and show who's really the Heavyweight Champ. . He has gain a lot of weight since 2015 win against Klitschko. So I don't know if the fight can be made anytime soon.

The Crusher will be Tyson Fury for sure. Anthony Joshua got exposed, he is not that great, he has been undefeated because he hasn't fought the top 3 yet. We are going to see Anthony Joshua get beaten in a rematch against Vladimir, and if he manages to win again, we are going to see him KO'd by Tyson Fury. Those are my predictions.

In all sincerity, although the match has been concluded and the winner has been declared, if I had the opportunity to place a bet a day before, no matter how hard I try, I would have placed it on Vladimir Klitschko because I so much trust that he will win the game but I am equally happy that I didn't lose my money because I would have lost big  considering the amount of trust I had in that guy. But the winner I hope meet his own crusher soon.

I don't even know why Vladimir klitschko decided to make this fight in the first place, he's past his prime and if I was him I  wouldn't let boxing retire me. Round 11 humiliation is worse than round one or two where you can blame on something technical but this proves he can't withstand Joshua any day and he's better off hanging those gloves.

Even i missed the fight,the hype was really huge but i was waiting for this for a very long time but as expected Wladimir Klitschko was the toughest test for Joshua  and he won the fight in the eleventh round and with the win Anthony Joshua is probably the biggest star in British boxing history,with age in his corner he will be a champion for a very long time.

Damn I can't believe I missed this one. Anyone made some money with this? I was going to bet on an AJ win, apparently Klitschko got KO'd. Next fight is Tyson Fury vs AJ for sure. I wonder if Wladimir is now retiring? after this he is not going to get a rematch with Tyson.
Im going to watch the fight and see how that KO went.

Joshua became the biggest star in boxing last night, he looked down & out when Klitschko floored him but AJ showed the hunger, determination & fight of a true champion to keep fighting.

He has so much power, Klitschko didn't know WTF was going on when AJ started dominating in round 11.

AJ is still so young for a heavyweight, he can dominate the division for years. What I want to see next is AJ vs Wilder.

That's pretty crazy. One of the most controversial split decisions ever happened very recently. Adrien Ward vs Sergey Kovalev. Kovalev clearly won, but the judges gave Ward a win. I was shocked, and so I pissed off since I lost money. Those fucking American judges need to be fired.

Boxing had more scandals and match fixing than any other sports in my opinion.They have different governing bodies and there was a scandal where  IBF President was selling ranks for money   Jake LaMotta incident is another thing,so i am sure these matches are fixed and if you are lucky you win the bet  
Klitschko Vs Josua is held in London and if that is the case Josua has the advantage here unless and until Klitschko KO him.

A loss in his 40s does not determine the legacy of Wladimir Klitschko,take a look at his record 68 fights and 53 wins by KO and just 4 loses and you still do not see this as a legendary career even if he loses now against Josua that does not mean the Klitschko will be remembered differently .The odds are against Klitschko but i do think that the experience will win in the end.It all depends upon the conditioning he is having at the moment.

There is much on the line for Klitschko, if he loses this it will effect how he is remember in history.  I would not rule the old dog out, he is in good shape and will have more knowledge how to train himself right for this fight vs AJ.  The fury fight was a freak, fury is a freak. Value is with betting on Klitch imo.

Even that is what i think Josua is still raw and the fight against Klitschko will be a big step in his career and if he is able to defeat the great Wladimir Klitschko then it will be a shinning feature in his career.We are yet to see more super powers when it comes to boxing in this day and age and MMA has taken over boxing in my opinion.

Yes, draw is possible in 2 situations:

1) The draw happens in the decision. This means judges give a 50/50 decission. It's a draw.

2) This is the crazy one: Double KO. Both boxers punch themselves hard at the same time, they fall at the floor and none of them can stand up again. Im not sure if this has ever happened in profesional boxing. It probably happened but its ultra rare.

Draw is possible in boxing?

AJ is not ready for this type of challenge i'd get my money on Klitschko.  Tyson fury is a freak of nature and had the strategy to unsettle Klitschko.  AJ hasn't had 1 big test as of yet and is young.

I think Wladimir Klitschko has never been moer motivated than he is now. He hasn't faced a real challenge for ages, and with Tyson Fury he finally remembered what losing feels like. I think his loss has made him stronger, contrary to the case of Ronda Rousey where losing destroyed her confidence.

I think Klitschko wins this and then he wins the Tyson Fury rematch, but I have my doubts Fury will fight again, he is a trainwreck.

Any day i would go for the Klitschko but age has caught up with him for sure and if you look at the records ,Anthony Joshua (18-0, 18 KOs) and Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 KO) i really do think experience do count in boxing and it all depends upon how determined Wladimir Klitscho is as if he wins this match i am sure he will be having a rematch with Tyson Fury and win the match and he would retire if i am not wrong and that is what i am hoping to see from the Klitschko brothers.

The odds for Wladimir Klitschko is attractive and i do not want to miss that.May be the high odds is because Anthony Joshua is British and he is undefeated with 18-0 is impressive but he has to battle and win against the veteran Wladimir Klitschko to cement is place and things are not easy for Joshua as he will be facing Tyson Fury if he wins this one or we are going to see Tyson Fury Wladimir Klitschko 2.

Never count a Kltischko out. Age is just a number. Bernard Hopkins was a champion in his 50's, sure we saw im recently getting KO'd out of the ring but that doesn't matter, Klitschko is a freak athlete with long arms and great technical skills, he is taller and has a longer reach and a deeper understanding of boxing, all Anthony Joshua has on Klitschko is age and probably explosiveness but that isn't everything to win against him. Im giving K a big win.

40 years old against 27 years old and obviously in terms of experience Klitschko is more better but i think he has already through his golden era and maybe that is the cause why the odds for Klitschko is very high

Anthony Joshua @ 1.4
Wladimir Klitschko @ 2.84
Draw @ 32

Klitschko is still fighting? Isn't he in the era of Mike Tyson and George Foreman nearing the end of their boxing careers? And those guys are in their 60's so he must be about in his 40's.
That is at the end of a man's life cycle in the boxing ring I would think.

Days after the Fury rematch was called off, Klitschko was approached by Eddie Hearn, who promotes IBF champion Anthony Joshua, to fight on the November 28 date they had set for a second defence. Terms seemed to have been agreed for a $30m fight showdown although an initial contract was yet to be signed.[79] After Fury gave up his world titles, it was said that Klitschko wanted the WBA title up for grabs in the potential match up against Joshua and waiting for approval, which the WBA kept postponing.[80] A reason as to why the WBA was delaying sanctioning the fight was due them having a legal settlement with Lucas Browne so he could fight for the vacant title next. Klitschko then turned his attention to fighting Browne instead on December 10, a date his team had an arena set for in Germany.[81] On October 24, Klitschko suffered a minor calf injury which would rule him out until 2017. Talks between the Klitschko camp and Hearn remained active with a fight set for Spring of 2017.[82][83] On November 2, the WBA finally agreed to sanction a fight for their super title as long as Joshua defeats Eric Molina in December 2016.[84]

On December 10, immediately after Joshua had defeated Molina in Manchester Arena, Klitschko was invited into the ring by Hearn. It was announced that Klitschko and Joshua would face each other for the IBF and WBA Super titles at Wembley Arena, London, on the April 29 2017.[85] WBA president Gilberto Mendoza confirmed that the winner will have to face mandatory challenger Luis Ortiz next, with deadlines due to be set after the unification fight.[86][87][8
