Could be interesting this, never seen klitscho in such good shape, is it possible he could have overdone it??

Could come down to the 1st big punch

AJ heaviest he's ever been, a full 10 pounds heavier than Klitschko, looks like he's going for the early finish. But has Lennox Lewis said, it's a lot of weight to carry if the fight goes into the second half!

East stand second class citizen.

Wlad is going to dance. Backfoot, long jab and drag AJ in to the latter rounds. If that's the case, Wlad will win on points. If AJ catches him early, it's night night!

I'd love Klitschko to win because I really don't like this bandwagon of sheep claiming AJ is (or is going to be) one of the all time greats. But if Wlad "boxes" anything like he did against Fury he's got no chance.

Happiness is like a cake. Have too much; and you get sick of it.

This is AJ's first real test, and he's a heavy favourite to win, in front of 90,000 the pressure on him is going to be immense. If he gets carried away and goes in all guns blazing then Klitschko will hurt him.

I've got Klitschko to KO him in the middle rounds, purely more for a longer shot of making some money but I think he'll just about edge AJ. It's a massive step going up from the competition he's faced so far to the Steelhammer.

AJ handles himself a lot better than most other British boxers though. A lot more respectful and down to earth than some

Barring injury, can't see anything other than a Joshua win.

If only....

A proper heavyweight battle that. Both of them were nothing short of superb.

Now Joshua has answered any questions about his longevity in fights and coming back when knocked down.

No need for a rematch, neither has anything to prove, should be Wilder next, a top athlete who unlike Klitschko is also in his prime. Be a right fight that would.

Went last night- probably the best atmosphere I've ever experienced at a boxing event.
AJ - real deal

I'm still scratching my head how he got up from that Klitschko punch in the sixth!

Then again how did klitscho stay upright for so long after the uppercut in the 11th, that would have levelled anyone else, hope there's not a rematch though.

Yes I agree, no need to do it again, plenty of other roads for AJ to follow and Wlad can walk away with his head held high, although I'm sure that no matter how content with his career WK is he'll never get mentally over that loss to Fury!

He let fury get into his head with the batman stunt etc, lost focus, and thought he was a fool,... but he gave AJ everything, he would be daft to do it again.

Well today effectively rules Parker out of the elite heavyweights, what an awful performance...the likes of Chisora, Whyte, Bellew and both Furys would destroy him....they must lining up to face him....awful, really, really awful!

Shocking fight. Audley Harrison threw more punches in his last fight than this guys opponent and he still struggled with him. As soon as he loses the belt, you'll never hear of him again.
