    Klitschko, Rahman, and a few things

    When Rahman upset Lewis.. He was given almost no chance..He was fighting the best in the division, Who just happened to be Tall,Stiff jabber with awesome power in his right hand.. But a questionable chin..He was Trained by Manny Stewart
    This Fight, The biggest upset of Lewis's career took place in South Africa

    Klitschko , Considered the best, is a tall jabber with tremendous power in his right hand,But has a questionable chin..He is trained by Manny Stewart
    His Biggest upset came at the hands of a South African..

    Are these signs of a potential upset???

    I for one, predict a somewhat boring and easy fight for Wlad.. with a stoppage sometime after the 5th and not much later than the 9th..I predcit Wlad will also taste the Canvas even though he will dominate..
    Could Rahman get lucky??

    Is it possible lightning strikes twice.. ???

    Rahman has also beaten Sanders and Purrity [If we throw that in too, just for the sake of it]. I think he has a good enough chance to put a small amount of money on him. But only a small amount. I think it's about 70-30 in Klitschko's favour.

    Edit: I didn't really read your post and now realise you mentioned the Sanders loss.

      I don't expect much from Rahman to be honest. He looked **** against Toney. I expect Wlad to get rid of him fairly quickly actually.

      But you never know.

        I will always give him a chance, but imo it's highly unlikely. especially if rahman looks like he did foir his last fight with Toney. If thats the case it will be a short night for him. Wlads great footwork will tire rahman out while at the same time not allowing him to get set to punch.

          lewis was also unmotivated for the fight... he was in vegas filming Ocean's 11 with guess who???? wlad!!! he arrived in south africa late, wasnt prepared and paid dearly for it....

          somehow i dont see wlad making the same mistakes....

            In reality he quit against Toney didn't he? So he'll likely go out as soon as the going gets a little tough. No way does he have the fire he had 10 years ago and this fight has mismatch written all over it. Rahman has only one chance at that's obviously to land the big shot early. If Wlad goes past 2 rounds Rahman's ass is grassed.

            Easy stoppage win by Wlad.

                None Sir... I simply saw a few comparisons.. and wondered if it was ominous...

                  I'm probably being kind to Rahman when I say it's a 70/30 fight in Klitschko's favour. If he uses the jab well he can cause Klitschko problems, but I just can't see him keeping up a good pace round after round. Sometimes I wonder if some people just have bad stamina regardless of how hard they train. Then there's his ordinary chin [although he has taken some big shots and not been knocked out]. I do think he has a good enough jab [at its best] to compete with Klitschko, but he doesn't have the stamina or chin to endure.

                    I didn't think Lewis' beard was that bad.
