Comments Thread For: Klitschko Says No Chance of Inside Fight With Leapai

[cupocity303]

"No, I will stand there at a close distance and I will fight him close so he's going to feel there's definitely another Mike Tyson," Klitschko said.


Nice sarcasm from Wlad.

See that right there is the problem I have with fighters..we know you have an arm reach advantage over almost all of your opponents but the fact sometimes these guys refuse to take a moment and make things exciting gets boring and old fast. I like offense and defense in boxing but all "safe all the time" is something we could see for a whole lot less money down the ranks. Just once i'd love to see the brothers in a firefight...so much man and yet so unwilling to impose it.

Hmm, how about no. When it's not broken, you don't fix it.

Agreed. The game is Hit and don´t get hit. No point blaming Wlad of mastering that.

I kind of agree. But I think it's more on matchmaking. If it's evenly matched then we don't need one of the boxers to take chances to excite us. If fighter A is boxing and fighter B doesn't know how to cut the ring off, why blame fighter A. Learn your craft and use your advantages.

We can only get a firefight, if they're evenly matched.

no inside fight but more grappling... poor leapai will be dead by the 4th round from holding wlads weight and body up

Why doesn't he flop down every 2 seconds like Haye did? Oh yeah, because, despite getting a point taken away, he still lost by 8 rounds.

Please....WK was on Haye's neck most of the night pulling him down....I wish this dude retires already everyone's tired of his hometown refs letting him dive on opponents head and shoulders and acting like he's champion....WK is pure garbage.

Pretty sure if Leapai wants to brawl and infight then nobody is stopping him... Except Wladimir... Which is why its called a fight

What's he supposed to say, "Well I'm gonna play into all of my opponents strengths, he's shorter so I'll stay real close and I'm the better boxer so I'll throw hayakers with my eyes closed to even the odds. If we clinch, I won't lean on him, I will support his weight and give him little pep talks."?

Wlad is a boring fighter because nobody has given him a reason not to be in 10 years.

Wladimir will dispatch this guy with ease.
