Comments Thread For: Klitschko Returns To America, Decisions Bryant Jennings

[joe strong]

not the best fight & Jennings landed quite a few body shots but he wasn't able to put combos together. At no time did wlad look hurt. Jennings took some nice shots. a lot of people wanted to know what would happen if there was a ref who wouldn't allow wlad to hold. We got that answer tonight. He can be hit & it makes him throw more punches. I can't recall the last time wlad got a point deduction. MSG wasn't sold out & he lost a point. I doubt we see Him again in the US unless it's against wilder for all the marbles. I don't see wlad losing again. I think griffin is from Edmonton. I doubt we see him ref another klitschko fight.

jennings was the one initiating most of the holding, wlad was just tall, wilder or fury will get koed with that leaping left hook, a very ideal punch for tall opponents

Basketball players can't turn into boxers at the age of 24 and expect to become champions, no fundamentals at all! the man didn't even throw 1 jab throughout the whole fight. I give him credit he did very well considering his very poor skills but Klitschko looked like **** too, he should've blasted him out in 6-8 rounds

Maybe Klitschko's reflexes are dulling. It seemed like his shots weren't as fast as before. Also Jennings looked like a jack rabbit jumping around on the outside. I don't know what he was doing in the last round he had to walk Klitschko down and go for the knock out.

This is racism. Klitchsko geta a point deducted for holding but Mayweather does not??

In my opinion Wlad is doing himself a disservice by keeping Banks around.

I agree. I think he should keep him around as a assistant coach, just like Emmanuel, but hire someone else that gives him different perspective. He already knows how to fight the way he fights, he doesn't need Banks for confirmation bias.

At the same time, he doesn't need one of these Westernized trainers, whether it's a Freddie Raoch type, or a Mayweather Senior/Virgil Hunter. I'm not familiar with European trainers with good reputations, but there's got to be plenty of them out there.

Klitschko showed his age tonight, but he keeps himself in excellent shape so he's still the best HW.

I wonder how the fights might be different if referees were stricter about holding?

[hitking]

Didn't see this one. From what I've read, Wlad looked a lil vunurable. Another fight or two, Wilder may be able to take hom out.

This Is Why Floyd NEVER Leaves Home To Fight; Always A Different Dynamic Away From Hm

This fight wasnt close. Because Wlad didn't KO him means he showed age??? Means he looked vulnerable?? ******. To pack up your team and relocate to NY where you have not been in years, is more of an adjustment than you think. This is why Mayweather never leaves Vegas. We saw what happened when Tyson traveled to Japan. To fight all over the world is not the same as preparing at home, sleeping in your own bed each night. If it weren't a big advantage, then why would Floyd choose to give away 40% in taxes each fight in Vegas, rather than fight tax free in Dubai or Macau, China, or Morocco?? Klitschko did fine. Next.
