Comments Thread For: Klitschko Beats Down Overmatched Leapai in Five

[RadioCart]

How excited would you be if Sergio Martinez had done the same thing to some random opponent Martin Murray beat?

That's what this fight was.

did wlad choose lepai as an opponent or was he his mandatory

[Mr.Fantastic]

Most of these guys just check back once a year to see if Wlad if still the champion and they don't like Wlad so that's that. Notice how many don't seem to understand Leapai beat Boystov for mandatory status and isn't "some truck driver Wlad cherry-picked".

You can easily separate the guys who actually watch HW eliminators apart from the "Is that foreign guy still champ? BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, BOOOOOOOOOOOO" types.

Great Post.

You're misanalyzing the situation. It wasn't the stamina, it was the fact that he couldn't get into his punching range and unload his arsenal of punches. Why couldn't he do it? Straight punches, jab, jab, left, left, with moderate footwork and movement.

Great job from Wlad. It's not about pleasing the fans anymore, it's about racking up title defenses. Pulev and Fury are next, which nobody should complain about.

I'm not misanalysing anything. I get the skill level difference, that goes without saying (perhaps I should, so I don't get ridiculous, state-the-obvious replies?) my point was, a guy going in for the fight of his lifetime against the world heavyweight champion, isn't even physically conditioned enough to fight at a good capacity for the required time scale.

It shows how amateur the level of competition was.

Wlad the impaler... I thoroughly enjoyed that KO.

Teddy Atlas hating as always...

[GodInFleshSuit]

I wonder how a fight between Fury and Wlad would turn out.

[cupocity303]

well these organizations are a joke if that's the guy they considered the # 1 contender in the HW division! we'll prob never see him again and he will be right back to ups doing the night shift

What is so hard to understand? He became the # 1 contender by upsetting a better fighter (on paper at least) who was an up and coming young Russian fighter, with a undefeated record.

That's all there is to it.

If Murray had gained a few pounds and somehow had beaten Boytsov he would have then been the mandatory for Wlad's WBO belt. Now what you said makes sense, I think?

I'm not criticizing Wlad for fighting him. His mandatory is his mandatory, Wlad won't get blame from me for it.

I'm saying it's ****** to rave like Wlad was masterful when he's fighting about as bad a title challenger as you'll ever see. Save it for when Wlad dominates someone who's actually worthy and stop acting like Leapai is a good fighter.

Thank you. Anyone who loves the art of boxing in its pure ess can appreciate the greatness that is wladamir. He is a ****ingmazing
Beautiful to watch. How he neutralized the distance with his jab scooted right to left while keeping the jab out how he pulled away from shors thru lead right hands was nothing short of needing a book written about it called "the fundamentals of boxing" how he lifts n leans into his right hand n jab are gorgeous. **** what small minded casual fans think. One dude had a seth mitchell avy n had the nerve to talk ****! :lol: thats the state of wlad haters so i understand
