[steeluv]

lets get it on then....will be interesting to watch....i got a good feeling wlad will handle povetkin his first defeat...

yes I think so two win be interesting to see if he Ko's him though

[joe strong]

Damn! The Championship bout and the Mandatory defense, have to be a very good show! I WILL BE WATCHING IT! And will make a traditional record on VHS. Should be a beautiful knock out! The TIME IS TICKING folks! September 11.VERY SOON!

I'll pay 24.99 but wish it was on showtime,since I pay extra for showtime...if the klitschkos started knocking these guys out in a round or 2 in spectacular fashion the us networks would pick them up...lennox took awhile to get airtime but then he made voluntaries vs grant & golota & crushed them in a round or 2 & every fight of his after was carried.ratings were high but the klitschkos haven't blown guys out & the us networks lose $$$$ carrying their fights because no one wants to watch vitali on his bike jabbing a inferior opponent like sosnowski for 9 rounds.it should be a first round knockout! Wlad should be able to take out sasha in a round or 2....no excuse not too,sasha is nowhere near the level wlad is....he crushes sasha in a first round destruction I bet hbo would consider picking up his fights again.stay in Europe if you want to bore people...Americans want blood & bigtime knockouts early like Tyson use to or lennox.the klitschkos are way bigger then every other hw & far more skilled so it's unexceptable to the American public to have these mismatches drag out over 10 or 12 rounds...most people pirate a stream of the internet anyway...it's not like most pay for it anyway...that factor is also killing the sport.everyone bitches but no one is willing to pay so why should hbo or showtime cover the bill when most will just pirate it on a stream

As wrote already I strongly believe that the fight will be a Very good show.Maybe a brilliant! BTW, Personaly I love to see how KlichKOs beats the sh&t out of their opponents. Constantly. Yes I realy like the way how they do the job. Nobody can't, they can!

And regarding kayos. Vitaliy has 40 wins (38 by KO), Vladimir has 54 wins (48 by KO). Great records in my view! Ali has 56 wins (37 KO), Lewis has 41 wins (and only 32 by KO). KlichKOs giving to the crowd blood and kayos! Once again, I love the way how they box! A lot of class there.

I hope at least ESPN picks it up, nobody wants to watch some internet stream. I bet if Kevin Johnson would have won agaisnt Vitali, HBO and Showtime would be falling all over themselves with dates for him. This is getting out of hand, never in the history of boxing have heavyweight championship fights been so uncovered in America.

One can Hope!


A person could make a fairly compelling argument that this is a case of nationalism run a muck. He is the Lineal Champ he should be covered!

Let's fookin 'ave it!

They should really do one of those 24.99 PPV's. I'd like to see the full undercard.

Boxing matches early on saturday afternoon=win.

Even if the Sosnowski undercard wasnt too good, it was awesome to be able to chill out and watch some matches without it messing with evening plans on the weekends. Time difference from Europe is awesome.
