    Will this Joshua knack Klitschko?

    Can only see it ending with a brutal ko one way or another.

    Both are massive punchers with suspect/weak chins. It could be over on the first round if someone is willing to engage.

    My feeling is that Joshua will win by ko after a few cagey rounds where they are feeling each other out and hesitant to let their hands go.

    Klitschko has actively avoided tall fighters then came a cropper against Fury because he doesn't have to the confidence to stand in range with a tall fighter through fear of getting tagged.

    Think its a massive step up for Joshua and although Klitschko has vast experience I believe he's after one last big pay day. I think a body shot will take him out.

    Fredor would chin the pair of them, apparently.

    Gutted but I think Klitschko is going to beat him. Just a weird feeling I've developed over the last week which was hammered home after the weigh in.

    I think it will be a horrendous, cagey fight and Klitschko will hide behind his mammoth jab and clever footwork. I think AJ will struggle to get through his defence.

    Praying I'm wrong and Wlad is actually past it and AJ puts one on his chin early.

    I think AJ is a little to big for this fight and I can see him gassing out in the later rounds, should it go that far. Klit also hits harder than Dillan Whyte.

    I can see a win for the Klit in round 9-12.

    Hope I'm wrong, though. I'm a big fan of Joshua. I love how dignified he always is.

    AJ's progression with his feet has been very quick and I just can't see Wlad causing him any problems.

    Wlad will take more than one to sit him down but AJ should dust him inside of 4.

    The only doubt I have is because AJ uses his nasty bastard streak to hurt opponents and I just hope he can carry that into a fight with a guy who's supposed to be his friend.
