Comments Thread For: Klitschko vs. Jennings: BoxingScene Staff Predictions

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

It’s like old times in boxing again. The sport is once again being showcased on network TV and now the heavyweight championship of the world is being contested Madison Square Garden.

Wladimir Klitschko is responsible for the latter, returning to the United States for the first time in more than seven years as he faces unbeaten Bryant Jennings at the famed New York City venue. HBO is along for the ride to televise the action.

The last time Klitschko (63-3, 53KOs) fought in the U.S. in fact came at Madison Square Garden, where he outpointed Sultan Ibragimov over 12 awkward rounds. The bout served its purpose in adding another belt to Klitschko’s collection, the first of two unification title fights would win over the course of his current reign, which just passed nine years on April 22.

Sultan Ibragimov was considered at least considered to be a threat at the time...much more so than Jennings. I hope Jennings can make this a good fight but I really have little expectations here.

Even Reynaldo Sanchez getting it right this time

From the weigh in pictures, it seems that the early signs of physical decline (less muscle mass yet less muscle definition, compared to pre-2015 WK) seem to have set in for W Klitschko. I do not think that Jennings is the man to expose this; but the last station the WK train will run out of steam is probably called D Wilder in 2016.

Prediction: WK by UD over Jennings.
