This is a hard call. I see this fight as a passing of a torch type scenario. But....it's a big step up for AJ. He has had an easy ride so far. Arguably gifted gold medal in Olympics, best training facilities, MBE, the perfect opponents early, the Charles Martin belt gift.... but exactly how does he handle a step up from Eric Molina to Wladimir Klitschko?
It's a big step up, but AJ has been blowing guys away.
I've fluctuated between Wlad to AJ to Wlad.
I look back at Wlads last 2 opponents. Jennings head down and survived 12 rounds. Wlad determined it was an outing to just get through. Fury was a different beast. Taller and awkward. Never has Wlad had to deal with a fighter like Fury, he didn't pull the trigger because at every opportunity a feint and a switch from Fury stopped Wlads momentum.
AJ isn't awkward. He isn't taller. Wlad has seen a predictable style like AJ before. That is the reason why I'm going with...
WLAD KLITSCHKO UD
