Comments Thread For: Klitschko vs. Leapai Bout Being Pursued For Macau

[jas]

Wlad made it to my p4p list as seen below folks. He has no chin and he's a heavyweight. I know the division is weak guys but that's impressive to have no chin as a heavyweight and still be champion.

As for the holding, it sucks. Last Wlad fight I watched was vs haye. He does it because he panics on the inside. Joe Louis' right hand would have sent Wlad to funny leg street and Louis is such a great finisher, it woulda been curtains for wlad.

To be honest I really don't know who Leapai is or what wins of note he has and whether he has a chance here or not.

He's top level crude, but looks like he improved his stamina. Check this out if you like an awesome HW brawl, best in a long time IMO, minus the bad stoppage

Joe Louis' right hand would've never made it to it's final destination. Joe Louis has his own fair share of weaknesses to be exploited. There is more evidence to suggest that 6'6 tall Wlad's jab and right hand will land repeatedly on Louis, then there is evidence that 6'2 Louis right hand would land anywhere near Wlad's chin. And Wlad's chin is hardly Amir Khan-esque. He got caught by powerful punchers in his developing years, it happens.

But I do agree that he belongs on the P4P list, unless there is a unwritten rule made that forbids Heavyweights from even being on there.

I knew this would get interest when leapai won. a heavyweight title fight in Australia or china doesn't happen too often. I never once have thought this fight would be in Germany. I would be shocked if it went there. leapai is not European. he is a samoan aussie so that will collect interest in the Asian pacific region. an islander fighting for the heavyweight title. first time since david tua? i'm interested what leapai's ring entrance will be like. i'm assuming a similar theme as david tua had... he won't make millions from K2. they will give him like $500000 so I can't see him signing before the purse bid. he might walk out with a couple million if the aussie tycoon wins the bid. good for leapai & a HAHA to boytsov for taking him lightly & not getting in shape. he now knows how ray mercer & tommy Morrison felt like after they lost millions when they were upset by journeymen...

can they afford the expensive tickets down there and have a good capacity? Wlad sells out soccer stadiums and his ringside seats worth 5k

Leapai want to delay the fight until late April or May.

If Hryunov wins the purse bid and the fight is delayed, Wlad should just drop the WBO belt and fight a legit top ten HW contender like Tyson Fury.

This would be an Insult to boxing to delay the fight until April or May. When you have contenders such as Fury, Perez, Wilder's straight right hand, Pulev, Stiverne, Arreola and Solis.

I hope the fight happens as soon as possible. If Leapai refuses to fight in March, then Wlad should fight Pulev in March and Leapai in Summer. Wlad Needs to fight three times this year.

I'm getting a little tired of this "holding" B.S. stereotype going around. It's like a cancer spreading with this new internet age. Short attention span morons piling on with group think. Yeah, the guy holds but it hasn't been a real problem until the Alexander fight. Usually I barely notice it since he is usually too busy pappering his opponent with stiff jabs and straight rights.

I guess you need something to reveal your dislike since you've given up on him losing, even by a lucky punch.

+1 ,

Eventhough Wlad was clinching way too much against Povetkin his jab was landing since the 1st round. That was quite impressive, I thought that Povetkin would dodge Wlad's jab and would have taken him into a dog fight.

What frustrates me with this fght is that I had the Feeling that Wlad could avoid a lot of his clinching with short left hooks,right uppercuts and by weaving backwards.

Doubt Wlad would drop it. He wants to hold all the belts...he'll probably take the delay and try to wait for the WBC champ
