If that's the case, I think that Americans should just accept the fact that America isn't the center of the universe and move on. A good fighter is a good fighter regardless of where he's from. By the way I live in Texas, so I'm not an America hater.
Ditto. And no matter how many times we say this the jingoists never listen.
the only way i see this helping is this could bring more americans back to watching the heavyweight divsion. with briggs having a belt and hopefully brock we could see a surge of interest, not close to anything from the past but itll be better
sadly i have it being WK by KO by te 10th, im pulling for brock tho

I think this is going to be a tougher fight for Wlad than many think. I hope Wlad defeats Brock but I do not see it as an easy fight for him.
I think early on we could see Brock jumping in with shots, trying to neutralize Wlad's jab, and that could produce some exciting moments, but through the middle of the fight I expect to see Brock jumping in with flurries less and less, and being hit with that jab and right hand more and more. I think by the end of the fight he'll look pretty bad.
see, the thing is guys, i don't see how brock winning helps the division any. that's why i'm a bit puzzled as to why anyopne would want brock to win unless they are specifically a fan of brock.
and please excuse me if i get a bit OC on the topic, as i feel wk being champ and having maybe one or two good rivals is just what the div needs. brock winning in my opinion equals a step back.
as for you dirty, i will retract my arm chair statement if you have more than 6 months boxing training. but you will still have a low rep!!!

Brock fights in spurts, so there could be a few exciting moments in between the beating he'll be taking the rest of the time. I say beating because if Brock stays outside, he can't really jab with Wlad. If he makes it inside he gets tied up. I don't think he'll be intimidated the very first time he gets hit, but I do think he'll get gunshy after a round or two of that jab and right hand. I think it will eventually become one-sided with Brock trying to rally occasionally, and incresingly less frequently as the fight goes on. I'll take Wlad with the ref stopping it.
Pulled and predicting Wlad to take this by TKO/KO somewhere after 7 rounds..
would anyone agree that Wlad's one heavyweight we can rely on right now to be consistent?
I think Wlad will jab & right hand Brock to death...he'lll probably put him to sleep with a left hook too...
That being said, I'll be pulling for Brock. I have never liked Wladimir, nor do I see any reason that he should be on top instead of Brock. They are all a bunch of vulnerable heavyweights, so i'll go with who I enjoy watching more.
...Wlad is ten times more exciting to watch than Brock. I would rather watch paint dry than have to watch Brock fight. However, I will be watching closely when Wlad puts him to sleep before 7.
Did I just get called an armchair critic? Is that step below armchair quarterback? So not only am I not in the game, but I'm not a critic.. instead I'm a critic of critics?
You shouldn't need people's reasons as to a personal preference as to who they'll be rooting for. Wanting somebody's opinion on who they think will win and why is another story.. why they are rooting for a fighter is purely a personal feeling that isn't even something worth debating because it's a fucking personal preference.
Also, thanks for bringing up my "weak rep". For a minute I was really started to wonder how most of the idiots felt about my opinions.
Thats funny............
