Comments Thread For: Photos: Klitschko, Jennings Face To Face in New York

[BoxingIsGreat]

Wlad is a disgrace to the heavyweight division. Him and his brother are both limited and robotic, but his brother is the better of the two.

Wlad looks older then my grandpa, jennings stops him in the 1st round. #BOMBSQUUADD

Oh wait-- wrong american dude

Jennings looks like a homeless bum and Wlad looks like an old accountant or something.

It's true.

Wlad is getting a little grey around the edges. Guess that's what being at the top will do to you.

Just ask President *****.

I give Jennings a chance in this one. I think he will put up a better fight than allot of fighters Wlad has faced. Overall I'm happy to see Wlad fighting in MSG NYC. for the first time in 7 years

May the best man man win.

Wladimir is in a completely different stratosphere to Jennings when it comes to levels.

What on earth has led you to think that? Jennings hasn't had one single dominant performance over a top opponent.

The referee is always a key factor in Klitschko's fights, if lets Klitschko get away with all the holding and the clinching then Jennings will be worn down by the 5th and he'll be ready to get knocked out.
If the ref doesn't allow Klitschko to hold then it can be a bit competitive, i still think Klitschko wins it either way

yea,,,as much as I like Jennings that perez fight really disappointed me. Jennings didn't have any snap on his punches and looked very flat. I haven't seen much of his other fights so im hoping it was mostly due to the awckwardness and southpaw stance of perez. anyway,,,I want wlad to win but hoping Jennings makes a good account of himself and can build on it

I personally think wlad makes the fights longer and more grueling for himself as well when he gets into clinch mode at times. its not like there's any buzzsaw inside fighters out there that can take his head off on the inside and he has that viscious short hook he can throw on the inside himself. he was hurting povetkin with it in between clinches but would throw him down instead of ending it with a knockout. that fight should have been over in the 7th round

What makes Jennings worthy of a shot at Wlad more than Tyson Fury?

I was also disappointed with that performance. Although Perez did look good in the first 5-6 rounds. I just thought Jennings looked better against Szpilka, but I mean he still pulled it out on what was maybe not his finest night, so you have to give him probs for that. Even though I had it a draw - 6-6 down the middle.

But yeah, I want Wlad to win too. Hopefully he can go on into fights with Fury and Wilder and after/if he becomes undisputed champion (he is in my mind already) I think he should pack it in with a HOF career. Just like Lennox Lewis.

No point in ending up losing to someone who you'd beat with ease a couple of years back.
