Comments Thread For: Klitschko-Jennings Getting Close For Barclays on 4/25

Props to Jennings if this happens, but Wlad just canīt be beat without one punch KO power.

That cherry picking bum Klitchko is not welcome in the USA. Besides, they will do real drug tests on him here so he should just stay in Germany where people seem to care.

Oh just wipe your tears, US fighters still have some success below 160

He doesn't, but it's a good defence for Klitschko in terms of it being against a top 10 contender, he's going to America etc.

It'll be a good little fight for as long as it lasts. What I am hoping though is that Wlad goes for the kill in this fight. Rumours have surfaced that he's getting advertising money for inbetween rounds on German TV, so I hope his head will be solely focused on demolishing Jennings, which would also get HBO even more behind him to set up a big fight in the future.

Always talking down Klitschko opposition...

Wladimir ducks no-one. He'll expose Fury in due course.

How did I talk him down when I clearly stated it was a good fight for what it is?

Do you think I should liken him to Mike Tyson like what was done to Mormeck?

Lets keep some reality to this forum and judge Jennings for what he is. A mediocre fighter.

Well, you've now written off Pulev entirely. He was a credible foe. Jennings is a credible opponent, too.

Ultimately, this is a smart fight for Wladimir. He gets to fight in the 'States again, and, at the same time, generate global interest in a unification bout.

The morons on this forum who claim he's ducking Tyson Fury

I always maintained Pulev wasn't that good. I said that years ago when there was talks about him fighting Chisora for the European title or Fury for the mandatory and even before. He has no skills, but it was a credible opponent. that doesn't make him any good, he's clearly not on Wlad's level in any department.

yes, which is exactly what I've said from the beginning, so why are you trying to say I'm hating on Jennings? Your middle paragraph is pretty much word for word, exactly what I said when this was announced.

Well he's not running to him either, I just don't think Wlad has been impressed with Fury thus far.

[nycsmooth]

I can't c this but , even in the remotest sense, being competitive. Jennings is average, perios!!!

[kafkod]

I realize that there aren't a whole lot of options for Wlad but I really think Jennings is making a mistake at this point, basically cashing out. Wlad will eat him alive. I like Bryant and wish he could develop more and take his title shot against the stiverne wilder winner. BUT, i understand that he can make a lot of money fighting against Wlad. I would really just like to see someone make it a fight against Klitschko. Jennings is too basic. KO 4

I agree with everything said here except the part about Jennings cashing out by taking this fight instead of waiting for the winner of Stiverne vs Wilder.

Jennings is an ambitious guy, with confidence and self-belief. I'm sure he thinks he can win this. I don't think he can though. He has a freakish 84 inch reach, much longer than Wlad's, but Wlad's height, footwork and anticipation will even that out, I believe.
Jennings will still need to move in with his punches to land anything meaningful, and that will bring him within range of Dr Steel Hammer's counters. At which point it really will be "Bye Bye Jennings" or at least, "Goodnight for now."

[Ringlife]

I'm cool with this fight happening, but I'm not going to lie, i wash this fight was happening at least by the beginning of March. That way the Wilder vs Steverne winner can fight the winner of this fight. Oh well they are going to have to match them up, at least by August.
