Klitschko Wins Coin Flip!
Ray Austin to Use Grant Gloves
After rejecting Don King's suggestion of a coin toss to solve a glove dispute that erupted late Friday afternoon and jeopardized Wladimir Klitschko's defense of his IBF heavyweight title tonight against No. 1-ranked mandatory challenger Ray "The Rainman" in Mannheim, Germany, the Klitschko camp had a change of heart this morning and agreed to a coin toss to solve the problem. It had already been contractually determined that Klitschko would use Grant gloves. The coin toss would only determine if Austin would wear Klitschko's preference of Grant gloves or the challenger's choice of Reyes gloves.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IBF President Marian Muhammad flipped the coin in the lobby of the posh Europaische Hof Hotel at 2 p.m. local time, which was won by the Klitschko camp. Austin will use Grant gloves tonight at the SAP Arena. "The decision to have a coin toss to determine the gloves was a good one and we will abide by the result," Austin's promoter Don King said. "I'm happy to see this dispute was resolved through good sportsmanship rather than dictatorship. We look forward to a great match tonight in Mannheim."

The IBF also announced that Eddie Cotton will be referee the Klitschko vs. Austin main event. The judges will be Roy Francis from the United Kingdom; Steve Weisfeld from New Jersey; and John Wright from Australia. Daryl Peoples will act as supervisor for the IBF. The match can be seen live in America on HBO beginning at 4:45 p.m. ET/1:45 p.m. PT and again on a same-day replay at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
The one thing Wlad should fear from Valuev is the he never runs out of gas, even being so big he has very good stamina. He can keep pressure on Wlad if he is smart. If Wlad can hurt him it will be a short fight, otherwise I just don't know.
I tihnk he meant wlad will have his jab in Austin's face all night.
Anyways, as usual, my nervous cuntishness is at its peak today.
I'm with you otherwise I'd still be in bed. I'm worried more about "trickery" and "disillusions" or whatever the hell King says.
austin's only been stopped once, and it was in the 9th vs attila levin. didnt see the fight but since cortez was reffing it im assuming it was a referee stoppage, he loves to do that shit.
im thinking about betting on wlad winning a decision
then again maybe not, ref stoppages happen all the time and austin is no defensive genius.
Wow. You think? Austin is hittable, and his chin may not be glass but it is not on the level of even Byrd's, let alone Peter's. He can counter smaller fighters effectively but Wlad doesn't need to get too close. How many big rights can Austin take standing? About as many as Brock? Defo fewer than Byrd or Peter.
i dont even have 100k. i only have 19k, so ill have to get that 81k on consignment runwithknives. Either that, or you can work out a mortgage plan for me with some fucked up interest rate. ill pay you 11.9% on my 81k for that five year plan.
No problem, you're good for the points.
I'll bet 100K and if I win, you can pay me over time. If you win, I'll pay you the 100k in it's entirety.

Yeah I was referring to the fact that in using grant gloves, Wlad will block Austin's vision with the left hand, then he'll never see the right hand coming from behind. Yeah huge mismatch.
True true. Wlad's formula for beating guys like this is so simple. I had missed the point of your first post ("leather, then more leather"), but I'm with you.

Let's bet.
20K says the fight doesn't go past the 6th round.

This is too funny but Wladdy and his team better watch out. King isn't gonna give up that easily. King is trying to get any advantage over Wlad that he can. I'm really excited for this fight and both guys are in great shape.
more than likely yes. And really how many punches do you expect Austin to land. How's he going to counter that laser jab?

lol the only thing Austin is going to see is leather, then more leather, the celing, then his trainers asking him questions.
