Over the last few years when we’ve done staff predictions for boxing on Bloody Elbow, the picks are unanimously in favor of one boxer over the other in the main event. This time it’s a tad different, as Tim Burke and Kyle Maclachlan are picking Wladimir Klitschko over Anthony Joshua on Saturday night. If I remember correctly from the Heavy Hands Podcast, Connor Ruebusch thinks Klitschko will win. Everyone else is going with Joshua to defend his IBF heavyweight title and win the vacant WBA strap.
Kyle has the longest breakdown of the fight by far, so if you want a reason to pick Klitschko, hopefully he’s persuaded you.
