Jennings vs klitschko on April 25th

[FightingWords]

Should be interesting.. Should also serve as an example that today's american heavyweight's (no matter the hype or the undefeated record) still aren't elite.

Yeah, thought Jennings might be the grittiest of the undefeated US group but he didn't look that strong against Perez, he was getting pushed around quite a bit. I was surprised by that..as well as defense up the middle, Perez's jab stood him up and had him leaning back giving up a straight line shots that even a shorter armed PErez took advantage of .. I don't think his chances against Wlad are that good.

He's an on the job learner though, a lot of willpower and he has shown that he gets a 2nd wind. If he can work on varying his defense he might be able to hang around and at least finish strong

I was talking generally, not just about Fury.

We all know well that Wlad will never vacate the bell. Now that Fury is mandatory, fair enough, fight needs to happen sooner rather than later anyway, but nothing wrong if Wlad wants to fight Jennings before summer (if he can without vacating).

Yeah he just fought a mandatory, so he's entitled to have a voluntary defence.

I'm wondering if he's trying to set up a PPV fight in America. He's probably going to wipe out Jennings real good, and I hope he goes in there to absolute annihilate him and show him the difference between contender and champion.

He'll probably hope to God that Wilder beats Stiverne, as Wilder-Wladimir would be hyped beyond belief... and then Wladimir cracks his skull in 2 rounds on a PPV fight. Wouldn't be bad for Wlad to get some PPV money in one of his last fights.

Yep, I think you're on the money.

Why do you think that?

[beez721]

Why do you think that?

well,,it may just be paranoia but the fact wlad is trying to fight in nyc where briggs is from and his camp stating that it would be briggs if an agreement isn't reached with Jennings makes me feel uneasy. I just get this feeling that its going to end up being against briggs. I'll tell you this,,,if wlad fights briggs when a deal could have been reached with jennings I will no longer be supporting him as a fan. there's no reason to be fighting a washed up has been like briggs when there's Jennings or maybe even fury available
