Klitschko TKO 7.
Well that doesn't say a lot for the up and comers.. unless as you're thinking Klit may rule for another year or so. Hope your right.
People say that Klitschko is reluctant to throw punches these days but Fury didn't really allow Klitschko to settle with his movement and control of the distance during their fight, something Fury gets zero credit for. AJ isn't going to pose those same problems that Fury caused for Klitschko and stylistically will probably play more into Klitschko's hands with his lack of movement which will help Klitschko to get his jab going, something that Fury wouldn't let him do.
AJ will come out hard no doubt with the crowd behind him and look to end it quickly imo, but I feel that Klitschko still has the experience to nulify his threat and take control of things from about the 4th round onwards and lead to a mid to late round tko.
