Comments Thread For: Photos: Klitschko, Jennings Jacked and Ready To Fight

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

NEW YORK CITY — Boxing’s biggest men don’t have a weight limit to make, but the numbers on the scale still represent the kind of shape they’re in. Wladimir Klitschko and Bryant Jennings both showed up in excellent condition for their heavyweight championship fight being held Saturday night at Madison Square Garden in an HBO main event.

Klitschko came in at 241.6 pounds, well within his usual wheelhouse, as the 6-foot-6 champ tends to be anywhere between 240 and 249. Jennings, meanwhile, came in at 226.8 pounds, and the 6-foot-3 challenger usually ranges between 220 and 230.

Jennings is the mandatory challenger to one of Klitschko’s three sanctioning body world titles. He is also the latest in a long line of men to try to challenge the dominant Ukrainian big man.

Is the WBA belt the only title on the line, or are all of the belts up for grabs? Tyson Fury's camp seems to already be in discussions for his shot at the WBO belt, and the IBF did just have a fight where their top challenger became mandatory.

I'm predicting an upset for the first time. I think Wlads ready to hang them up and Jennings has some pretty good skills for a guy with little experience.
I know Jennings is a huge underdog but I have this gut feeling he will out skill and out will a well past prim Wlad. Or maybe its the burritos giving me the gut feeling lol. I've always been a fan of the Klits though.

What's the point in stripping down the pants for a heavyweight weigh in?

LMAO where is Briggs actually? ... suprising that he didn't turn up. I get the sneaky feeling that this fight is going to be a tough one for Wlad. I mean he is 39, at some point he's going to get dragged in deep by one of these guys. Could Jennings be his Maidana?

Ok, all your points vs. all my points that Klitschko wins by KO/TKO.

What do you say?

That said, Jennings has a hell of a physique and should have a lot more power than he does.

The talent pool in the USA is huge.

Jennings is a regular guy, went from playing basketball at his local rec. center, decides to box at age 24, just a combined 30 amateur and pro fights, now fighting for the HW title, working as a mechanic in his spare time.

He's a lot like Wilder in that regard. Just confirms what I've been saying for years tbh. Wlad will probably hold his way to a W though, don't expect the ref to warn him at all.
