Comments Thread For: Photos: Wach Sends McBride Straight To The Hospital

[New England]

Adamek is in trouble if he cant knock McBride out.

to be fair mcbride was almost 20 lbs lighter for that fight and coming off of a performance in the prizefighter tourney, so he was in much better shape

and he got a W in the tourney as well


but you're right
adamek isn't going to even get vitali's respect with power like that at HW

[deuce_drop]

How did the boxing commission let this fight happen when McBride clearly came into the fight grossly out of shape?

all heavyweights are fat sacks of shidt............ some just in better condition than others.........

there are only a "couple" of FIT HW's................ HHMMM, I WONDER IF THAT IS THE REASON THEY'RE DOMINATING THE FAT MAN DIVISION????


the more i watch and see fat man boxing, the more i respect the klitschko's....... at least they're professionals about their sport and what they do


but besides that, the HW division is the dead body of boxing and it's bringing it down........ it's dead weight, we need cut that cancer from the sport and ignore all HW boxing until the big guys get in shape.......

and with all that being said, I DO HOPE MCBRIDE'S HEALTH IS OK.........

They didn't have a supervisor in camp with McBride to make sure he was doing his situps.

McBride really had ample time to prepare for the fight. He had about two months notice and was fighting a guy who had never fought anyone on his level yet.

And to think some people wanted Wlad to fight this guy next. A man for whom Kevin McBride is a step up. Those posters should be ashamed for even proposing such a ludicrous matchup.

So who do you think Wlad should fight? There's virtually no one available, since Arreola wants another fight in September, and Dimitrenko is also scheduled to fight that month.

I'd sooner Wlad remain active instead of waiting until 2012 to fight again.

Wach is 25-0, he's in shape and has looked like he's been improving in his recent fights.

I think it would be better if Mariusz fought an defeated a ranked contender before fighting Wlad, but if it comes down to fighting Wach or being inactive, I'd sooner Wlad fight Wach.

Why even bother when it's clear he's just being negative.

Wach does want to fight the best, he's always asking for the best fighters out there. It's the job of the promoter to promote him and help him improve so that by the time he does fight a Klitschko, the people will know who he is and he can have the best chance to win.

Besides, Wach's people are making big money on boxing and that poster isn't.

Sounds like a pretty brutal KO. Hope he is ok.

Crushing KO by Wach. I was at the Adamek-McB fight and McBride made it through 12 rounds easily and wasn't in any better shape, really, than he was for this fight. So if Adamek can get a title shot off of going 12 with McBride, who is to say Wach shouldn't get one after he annihilates the same?

Sure, Wach could use another fight with a Sam Peter type of opponent, but if he's offered the shot, he should take it.

Nope, no shame. I don't think a Wlad-Wach matchup is any more ludicrous than Adamek vs Vitali, or Wlad vs Chisora -- in fact, it may be less ludicrous, as Wach is a big boy who is packing some power.

Could Wach use more fights before he get a shot? Sure.

But if he's offered a title shot, he should take it. He's 31 and isn't going to get any younger. If he ever hit Wlad with a shot like he hit McBride with, he'd be wearing some championship belts.

And look out for Artur Szpilka in the future!

If Wach is really the only man available (and I have a hard time believing that) and Wlad wants to earn some easy money, then sure, why not? But don't dare try to tell me that it would be a legit fight, because it plainly isn't.
