Who cares what this guy thinks?? who the hell has he ever beaten?

But if you get inside with Wlad, you get held and smothered. At least, that's what's been happening for the past 10 years.

But will Wlad be allowed to hold and smother Jennings in an American ring if he needs to?

That's one of the questions that make this an interesting fight. The other is whether Jennings longer reach will be a match for Wlad's height and footwork on the outside.

Exactly. It would be interesting to see the look on Wlad's face if he lost a point for holding, leaning on, pushing down Jennings. That would rule. Wlad is a great HW obviously, but a lot of that is because of his size.

I could be wrong but I feel like if you can make it a war you should be able to win. I see Wlad as a great boxer but I don't know if he's much of a warrior. I think he's the type of boxer that could mentally give up if it doesn't go his way. He even panics when he gets hit with a good shot.

You have to give Wlad credit for being able to dictate pretty much every fight over the last 11 years though. He's a great skilfull boxer with some powerful punches and very few boxers been able to take him out of his comfort zone and make him fight. Once he hits you with that powerful jab and his right hand you'll think twice about trying to get on the inside. That's how he controls his opponents. To beat him you need a great chin be brave and take the fight to him and applying constant pressure to Wlad in order to force him into a high tempo fight.

Reach is very misleading ,height and how a fighter fights in his style also play a role ,longer arms dont necessarily mean you have the reach advantage .Whats also misleading is everyone thinking Wlad needs to hold ,he will simply just end the fight early if he doesnt hold ,way to much power i think for anyone in line for him if he abandons the extra holding .If i were Jennings i would jump right on him and fight a 2 round fight and throw it all out there because once Wlad gets in rythm its end game anyway tonight .

well thats somewhat true, he will either end the fight by ko or be ko'd. cheating allows him to take being ko'd out of the equation.

I guess you missed his last fight,which is why he is back on HBO

Well unless they make holding illegal he will do what works mostly,Ali is regarded as the greatest yet that's what he did the most he was hit and clinch, really very little difference between Wlad and Ali from a stradegy point of view except Wlad has a super k.o percentage,Ali never did.
