Klitschko-Gomez: Opinion Gets In The Way of Analysis

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Jake Donovan - You’ve been there thousands of times. You’re in the comfort of your own home watching a fight, but reach a point when you wonder why what you see and what you hear aren’t quite one and the same. [details]

Nice article.

The writer seems to be a big Vitali fan.

This isn't the 50's, where the commentator on radio gives us play by play, the commentators now give their opinions and most would agree with Atlas.

The heavyweight division sucks and Vitali's and Wlad's style of pawing with their jab at their smaller opponents is boring. With no guys of Lennos Lewis's skill level and size around, they will continue to win. Of course there is always a chance a smaller opponent goes Lamon Brewster/Cory Sanders on either one of em.

exactly at least when tyson destroyed scrubs it would be fast and exciting. If vitai was like most fighters who dont quit after a torn rotator he wouldnt get ****ted on by atlas.

Excellent piece, Jake. My buddies and I were constantly bitching about Atlas from beginning to end. I'm glad someone such as yourself wrote about it. Atlas was horrible.

As for the fight itself, typical boring Klitschko fight, but still gotta give the K bros credit, they are clearly the best heavyweights.

atlas is a hater, he's always talking **** about the klits, it's funny how he says that there is no talent available in the division and that's why they win yet he always picked their opponents to beat them in his pre-fight predictions, so which is it?

Funny, around this time last week I was accused of being a Klitschko hater by members of this very same board. I guess I'm bipolar?

What I'm a fan of, is dominant performances and fighters impressively closing the show. Regardless of my thoughts on Vitali as a fighter, the aforementioned scenario took place on Saturday.

Boring is Wlad-Rahman. And Wlad-Thompson (save for the ending). And Wlad-Ibragimov...

Gomez is a legit Top 10 heavy and going into the fight, stylistically was supposed to present Vitali with fits. That same fighter showed up on Saturday (albeit a bit too fleshy) and got handled, at least from round two onward.

I didnt think Atlas was that bad I only saw the fight and didnt see his after fight anaylisis but i think some people are going over the top about it.

good article imo.
