Comments Thread For: Scott: Bryant Jennings is Going To Beat Wladimir Klitschko

[Pain~Lucy]

scott is klitschko's sparring partner, klitschko probably told him to hype this fight a lil

[beez721]

all of wlad's opponents i've seen recently are sorry azz stiffs, Jennings has that athleticism mostly seen in hispanic and black fighters, he has that grace in his movements and could win some rounds early and make it into an interesting fight.....then imagine on NBC WILDER VS JENNINGS for all the marbles in the heavyweight division......mayneeeee

wouldn't say pulev was a stiff altho wlad made him look bad. I agree that Jennings is more athletic tho than any of wlad recent opponents. he's going to need it to try take the old man to the late rounds. wlads stamina is going to go sooner or later and it maybe sooner

[St. Johns Gent]

So you're picking Jennings?

i'm rooting for him all the way but it's hard to pick against Wlad.....you put me in a tough spot hehehe

i think in the first round pulev was doing alright, and if my memory doesn't fail me pulev landed something on Wlad that got Wlad's attention then all of a sudden seconds later Wlad landed that hook and after that it was all Wlad....i just think if Jennings comes with a solid gameplan, and i've seen plenty good Philly fighters do so, he could put Wlad in a situation Wlad hasn't been in, whether behind on rounds or something uncomfortable for Wlad, i'm not even from Philly but i believe that if a fighter makes it out of Philly he's more than likely a real good fighter

yea,,,,I was thinking a blowout win for wlad when this fight was first rumored but im starting to get the feeling Jennings maybe a lot more competitive than people think. hes got toughness and youth on his side plus he does have that long reach. I still got wlad by mid round kayo but could be interesting if Jennings can hang in there for a while

Let's get real here. Jennings is a no hoper just like most of Klitschko's opposition to date. Klitschko to this day even with the help of Steward is a very flawed and vulnerable fighter. He is upright and stiff, doesn't throw combinations,zero inside game, no bodypunching lacks variation in his attack, can barely go 10 secs without engaging in a clinch and his chin is still as glassy as the night Sanders did a demolition job on him. He is just lucky that he doesn't have any great fighters to compete with in this era. Imagine if he had a young Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis, Evander Holyfield or Rid**** Bowe as his mandatory. Deary me. His brother was a much better fighter than him and would have easily beaten him.

Vlad Klitchko is one of top 10 heavyweights of all times. Tyson is not even close.

This is going to be an excellent fight. Five years ago I would have Jennings winning this fight, but Klitchko has really refined his style and he plays to his strengths very well now.

Klitchko's achilles heel has always been athletic counter punchers. They give him hell because they can counter off of his long jab, which to a skilled speedy fighter gives them a pretty wide opening to hit him. Look at his fight with David Haye, and how much effort he put into keeping Haye at the end of the jab and making sure that he tied him up on the inside. Wlad was very uncomfortable during that fight and watched Haye like a hawk. He didn't press the attack like he usually does because he had alot to be wary of. Current Wlad handles this fighter much better now.


With Jennings you have two problems that he causes for Wlad, his boxing skill combined with his size. Wlad fought one of the most skilled heavyweights today in Eddie Chambers, but completely destroyed him because the size difference was so much Wlad could practically punch Eddie from the other side of the ring before he could move. With Jennings the size difference is much less significant. He has the reach to go over or around Wlad's Jab and combined with his ability to time and counter he can actually punish Wlad and keep him honest.

This fight is going to be very good, and I will be watching to see if Jennings has the power on his shots to force Wlad to abandon his jab by punishing him with counters. I will also like to see how Jennings handles the ****** super hulk power that Wlad puts in his shots.

My prediction: Wlad by 12 UD in a spirited fight.

Pulev was the better boxer, but Wlad was by far the better athlete. Pulev landed some nasty shots on him but Wlad is not fat and out of shape, he recovered very quickly. Pulev got winded just throwing at Wlad, look at how much he had to stop and collect himself after he attacked.

And when he loses. Either:


A) Jennings sucks


or


B)Wlad gets no credit and the cycle of hate continues

[Stuntman Mike]

I like Jennings. I think he'll put up a better fight than most of Klitschko's opponents have, but I don't think he'll win.

What on earth makes you think that... because he'll run from Wlad... the guy is feather fisted how the hell is going to impact Wlad,You must just be talking about his running ability
