Comments Thread For: Joshua vs. Klitschko Rematch is Full Steam Ahead, Says Hearn

[NahMean]

Damn I didn't know that. I wonder why he's so big over there?

Dunno why but he's really big there, one of the biggest athletes there everyone knows him. His fight vs Vlad was showing literally everywhere there. He’s also sponsored by Dubai travel company and is due do a tour in Dubai before Christmas so Dubai is invested in him so I can see him fight there one day.

It will be a sad end for Klitschko I fear

[NEETzsche]

I understand why it's happening considering that Wlad probably feels he came within inches of finishing the first fight and a rematch probably shifts even more PPVs, but I think AJ's path to victory is clearer this time. At close-mid range Wlad can't live with his strength. He wasted much of the fight trying to box Wlad on the outside last time

I don't know why wlad was even given a rematch clause. Not a fan of immidiate rematches after a conclusive ending.

Most of the expats in Dubai are British with a smattering of Americans and other nationalities. He would no doubt be well received there..

[Fabes88]

Personally don't see the point. I know the first fight was a classic but some fights should be left alone in a time capsule forever. I felt the same way about Corrales VS Castillo, that rematch should have never happened and i feel the same here. Rematches of excellent fights don't usually live up to the first fight.

I hope it's in America. We need a big heavyweight fight.

Yeah wilder really doesn't want to give you guys one does he

[Boxing Goat]

Sad.

Klitschko should have been wise enough to either retire or have a farewell fight with someone he can still beat like Parker.

It's kind of like the Ali vs. Berbick thing. The only difference is that Wlad is older, Joshua is younger and Joshua is way , way better than Berbick. That outclassing has never been held against Ali and this should not effect Wlad's standing all time either.

He's trying. Parker is too shook and no one cares about Stiverne 2

[BrometheusBob.]

The first fight was great but time is not on Klitschko's side. He probably gets stopped again.

[aboutfkntime]

good stuff !!

it looks like the IBF belt will get some much-needed bin-time before they bring in some rookies/bums to fight over it

Martin and Glazkov will probably get another crack, the IBF seems to like those guys for some reason
