Jab, right hand, occasional left hook and clinch.

As you say he enjoyed massive physical advantages in most fights and perfected that.

Thing is AJ's game is prodominantly within wlads range which is the issue for him

He needs to throw wlad off his game literally as soon as the opening bell rings, come forward and get inside straight away and let wlad feel his strength.

its an interesting fight, robert mckracken is a very good tactical trainer, be good to see what plan he comes up with

I agree.  Joshua fights at that mid to long range which is in Wlad's comfort zone.

I think the speed and reflexes will be the difference though.  I don't think Joshua's greatest weapon is his punch power like alot of people believe, its his speed and reflexes.  We've just not seen much of it because he's not had to use it.  Guys just come in and shell up against him.   Got a glimpse of it against Charles Martin where he slipped a punch and countered instantly to knock him down.   Martin isnt Wlad obviously, but the guy is 41 and not been in the ring.  I think sooner or later Joshua will counter him, and Wlad is always one punch away from disaster. 

McKracken is a good addition to AJ's team.  Alot of experience in world title fights. It's good that he's kept Tony Sims too, he's a good technical coach.  Parker should do something similar I think.
