Good showing by Jennings did about as well as he could do, still lost by a wide margin the way I scored it 9-3 with the point deduction, it doesn't really warrant a rematch or anything.
Wladimir Klitschko vs. Bryant Jennings

If Wlad has truly simply slowed down, I think he needs to seriously consider his future over the next few months...fighting like this v Wilder and Fury doesn't seem like such a good idea for him. Then again, styles make fights and Wlad would probably be better v the taller guys who move less than smaller, athletic guys like Jennings.Comment

I ilke Wilder and i think he carries himself well outside the ring for the most part but dude had no resume or experience. Stiverve was a belt holder at the time and top ten in the HW division, and i did pick him to win, but his best win was Arreola and was a shell of himself in the Wilder fight, he hardly threw any punches but Wilder won fair and square. Wlad has been a P4P fighter for years regardless of what you think of his competition. I would like to see a future matchup between the two but Wilder should fight Fury or Jennings or Povetkin before claiming himself the top guy. Just my opinionComment

I don't believe one second Wladimir Klitschko has declined.
The two reasons why he made his life harder in this fight is 1- he CLEARLY underestimated Jennings 2- he didn't make the right adjusmentds and/or had the wrong game plan.
If I was Klitschko, I would be a lot more worried by Povetkin than by the rest of the division.
If Klitschko doesn't learn his lessons tonight, don't be surprised if he gets chined. But that is not because of any physical decline.
The only decline I saw these last months is his arrogance. Humble yourself M.Klitschko !!Comment

It really wasn't that impressive, he was basically just walking around Stiverne keeping the jab in his face and the straight right behind it, I have not seen anything to make me think he could beat Wlad and after tonight more reason to think Jennings could beat him.Comment

level-wise maybe; but stiverne, while more experienced, is much slower - I think wlad would comfortably KO or at least dominate stiverne. wlad has rarely looked impressive against smaller, agile opposition.Comment

Jennings is a super learner, and naturally more talented than Klitschko, just as Fury is ( and I am not looking for controversy, that's just my opinion).
Stiverne was a paper champion who never proved anything but destroying an Arreola that is the shadow of himself nowadays ( but can still rebounce)Comment
