Joshua-Klitschko officials named
Officials have been named for Saturday’s heavyweight title clash in London between Anthony Joshua and Wladimir Klitschko. Referee David Fields, of New Jersey, will be the third man in the ring, while Don Trella (Conn.), Nelson Vazquez (Puerto Rico) and Steve Weisfeld (N.J.) will score the 12-round bout for Joshua’s IBF belt and the vacant WBA title.
Anthony Joshua: “I’m only going to be myself – the fight is already as big as it can be. There’s belts on the line, there’s legacy on the line, there’s 12 rounds of intense, ferocious boxing on the line. It comes with everything you want to see – boxing skills, power, timing. It’s just how long you can last and withstand each other’s abilities. I don’t hate Klitschko, I don’t dislike Klitschko, but I want to beat Klitschko. Someone is going to win and someone is going to continue with their career. And I’m very confident that’s me.”
Wladimir Klitschko: “This is a big step for AJ. He hasn’t fought this type of quality fighter yet. It’s going to be challenging for him, and it’s going to be challenging for me. This fight is 50-50, both fighters have a chance to win the fight, but I have this feeling that this is my night.”

It's as exciting as it can get for the last decade. Nobody can be sure of the outcome.

I do Sham. Here's the weigh-in. Klit looks as big and as cut as AJ.

AJ looks a menace, it only takes one clear shot
RE: AJ vs Klit is ON!!! - diehard - 04-29-2017
Sham, I think Klit looks better. Probably because he shed more weight. I don't think he's ever been down to 240 pounds. Heard KB on Radio Sport this morning. Said he's going with AJ, as Klit's reaction time has slowed in his past two fights. Plus, he said that AJ has livened up the heavyweight division whereas Klit has dulled it. True, but I wouldn't count Klit out just yet. He's ready to fight the fight of his life.

Sham - you are a church man.
This leads me to see you in a new light, my friend.
Takes the edge off some of our disagreements. Good for you.
