Comments Thread For: Jennings: I'm Quite Sure Klitschko is Overlooking Me

[PainfromUkraine]

Actually he could be. Saw a Facebook post today from Wlad's official page saying Jennings 'didn't show too much of his skills at the press workout'. Whether Wlad believes Jennings is holding out some serious surprises, or is simply overlooking the guy as not particularly dangerous or with any stand-out elements to his game, I don't know. We will see this weekend. Jennings is a live underdog in terms of being a guy that is in shape, has some physical advantages (reach) which is rare against Wlad, and will probably have a lot of the crowd support. Unfortunately, he probably won't have the power to trouble Wlad so will fall somewhere between the mid to late rounds after a spirited showing.

How can we expect someone whos never impressed vs a good opponent or never impressed in general, to beat an ATG in Wlad?

He doesn't do anything great, he doesn't even do many things good. There's one reason he got this fight and it's because he's american.

He is not amongst the top 5 or 6 heavyweights in the world.

I'm pretty sure we're all overlooking jennings.

I'm not overlooking Jennings. I bought a ticket to see this fight live, because I think Jennings is going to make history. Wlad's glass chin is going to fail him again.

Bryant Jennings is a good fighter, a solid top five or top six HW. He's very fast and athletic, has good footwork and quick hands. In his past two fights, he beat two young undefeated up-and-coming fighters.

(I think some people are bashing Jennings and saying he's no good because they don't want Klitschko to be given the slightest credit for the win)

People should keep in mind that Klitschko is getting old (age 39). Jennings will give Klitschko more adversity than most have in the past, although I doubt he'll win.

My prediction in Klitschko by decision or late-round KO/TKO in one of his toughest fights in years.

I wasn't wrong.

Some who don't know much about boxing were saying Jennings would get KOed in an early round.
