Comments Thread For: Jennings Concerned About Klitschko's Constant Holding

Hope the referee stops it.

I applaud Jennings and Shaw for being proactive and lobbying the commission not to allow Wlad's excessive holding. Jennings already has an almost insurmountable task; he needs a level playing field.

Very smart on Jennings part- make your arguement days before the fight so it's out there and the ref will be briefed - do it the same day as the fight and it gets lost in translation - being a red is not an easy job - you have to be strong and in good shape. You go over the fight in your head and it's different scenarios - so now the red can add this complaint to his preperation to be on the lookout and what his tolerance level will be....

sometimes his opponent leans into him with head down and wlad gets blammed when he hold him

[St. Johns Gent]

everybody telling Jennings to worry about other things and that he's lost mentally already....well i think ya'll are right.........if jennings goes out there and loses in less than 5/6 rounds i'd be more disappointed than algieri's awful performance

You should be more worried about Klitschko's right hand punching you in the face.

You should have already been trained and prepared to naturalize it, why the hell are you worried about it.

Psssh you gonna lose 100% you aint ready.

He's already lost mentally.

you've got more important things to worry about, brian. first is the 6'6" 250 lb guy nailing you with those big handed jabs from half way across the ring. next is the biggest right hand in boxing. then it's the left hook, which can end fights.

then you've got to worry about getting held. your feet are fast enough that it shouldnt be a huge issue.

Klitschko holding you should be the least of your concerns. You should worry about him busting up your face with his jab and over hand right.

Why shouldn't Jennings speak up? He needs every edge he can get. If Wlad is not holding because the ref is keen to Jennings' protest, then that's one less thing that Bryant has to content with. I applaud Team Jennings for this; he needs a level playing field.

I agree. If he's good enough to win that shouldn't be anything to worry about.

[bojangles1987]

Don't let him. You should have spent your training camp preparing for his holding and how to prevent it.

It doesn't make Wlad's cheating okay, but it's not like it's unpreventable.
