OUCH!! Vitali opens @ almost 6-1 favorite over Rahman

[Dirt E Gomez]

Hah, I'll need to shop around for the best odds on different bookies but 6:1 is pretty damn good. I'll be throwing some jingle jangle at Rahman for sure with those odds, hell, I'd do it for 4:1.

[j]

yeah, those odds will even up more by fight night.

king could've already got some unification going already. he's got 3 f'ing belts already! don't need to control all FOUR just to get TWO of his ******* to fight.


spinksjinx props on the saku.

[RAESAAD]

I am all over Rahman at 6-1 just for the fact I think Vitali will be rusty and Rahman will be hungry and he will have a punchers chance all night anyway.

get it straight ppl. if lewis couldnt KO vitali, what makes you think rahman can?

Same number of wins and one more T/KO for Rahman?

ok, ur saying rahman will win by ko simply because he has one more KO than lennox lewis?

so ur saying that the higher your KO ratio is, the better puncher you are?

ok, if thats true, whos the better puncher, frank bruno who has 38 KOs in 40 victories or joe louis who has 54 KO in 68 victories?

Vitali Klitschko is a throw back to an earlier age. He is very tough, and usually well-conditioned for a big man. He has that stragiht up style, and uses his strength and natural size to methodically pound his opponent into mush. I could very well see him bare knuckles fighting in the 1800's.

Rahman is not overly skilled, and I don't see him being able to deal with the big man.

However, Rahman has that big eraser, and it can and has been used before. He has a puncher's chance to take Vitali out on a flash knockdown. He could catch him at any time during the fight.

If Klitschko is in shape, I think that he will keep Rahman at bay on the outside, and pound him for about 6 rounds until his face looks like hamburger. TKO stoppage.

The odds are probably correct.

Don't put words into my mouth. I was simply making a point that you're acting as though Lewis was this KO machine and Rahman wins everything by decision. I was stating a fact.

well, lewis was one of the hardest punchers on the HW scene for the past 10-15 years and rahman is nowhere near the puncher lewis is.

and if lewis, the hitter that he was, didnt carry the pop to KO vitali, then neither does rahman.
