Alex Leapai vs. Wladimir Klitschko

[SN!PER]

Just checked the tv schedule - 5:00 EST Klitschko vs Leapei in High Def on ESPN!

Then at 5:05 EST ... fight's over.

Heard that Briggs has a ringside seat... hopefully it's not true...

When Wlad comes calling, you best come a running.

Another clinch-fest. Can't wait.........

I expect Leapai to look like the Pernell Whitaker of the heavyweight division and box masterfully, light on his toes, stick and move constantly making Wlad miss. A complete shut out, Leapai wins every round utilizing lateral movement, great jab and a masterful defense. Wlad will be gassed and completely confused by round 4, mentally giving up on how to deal with the defensive wizard.

He won a fight he was supposed to lose (against previously undefeated and rather popular/young Russian HW Denis Boystov) and basically inherited Boystov's role as the next challenger.

Kind of a marketing disaster really.

Brown just dropped his opponent in his match

Wrong Sir. Klitschko's Greco-Roman clinch work is similar to the little mentioned and under utilized dynamite selection in games of rock, paper, scissors. It trumps all. Even if you have Whitaker, Locche, Lora, Benitez, Pep level defensive skills in ring **** is the ultimate foil.

It may sound sick and peverse but im actually excited to watch this. Once you lower your expectations so they're firmly parrallel to Dante's 10th circle of hell and cannot sink any lower it enables you to just enjoy the display for what it is. I cannot wait to see what unforseen spectacle Wlad has in store for us. You have to accept that he is trolling the boxing world and once you embrace it the joke becomes funny.

Will watch, WK will stop him mid rounds.

Leapai is my size almost exactly. So this will be interesting - to see how a dude 6ft should approach a giant like WK.
