2662965, I think this is a really fascinating 50/50 pick 'em fight Posted by Vex_id, Wed Jun-13-18 10:01 AM
that will really come down to who gets who first. Both guys have some vulnerability in terms of getting knocked out (both have been buzzed/hurt) - and both guys have thudding power in both hands. I think Wilder's overhand right is the biggest punch of the two - and I also think Wilder has fought slightly better competition overall (though Joshua fought an inspired 40 y.o. Klitschko which will serve him well against Wilder).
If I'm Wilder - I jump on Joshua early - as AJ typically is a slow-starter and likes to get comfortable before pulling the trigger. AJ has also been relatively unimpressive in his last 2 bouts - while Wilder has surged under adversity (the Ortiz fight was epic).
I give Wilder the slight edge - but the UK home environment may neutralize that slight edge for AJ. Should be a great fight.
