    I honestly think this fight will be a complete and utter blowout, similar to what Lennox Lewis was able to do against Michael Grant in the same building 6 years earlier.

    For a dancer, Brock has painfully slow feet. He doesn't seem coordinated when he's trying to close the gap, he doesn't jab hard enough either. For Brock to win this fight, he's going to have to stay close and make it a rough fight. Wladimir, for all of his magnificent talent and strength, cannot handle being manhandled in close, it offsets his focus and concentration.

    Basically, there are two scenarios that can unfold. Brock will either get in close and rough him up, or he will stay in no mans land on the outside and get the living **** beat out of him.

    I would have liked to see Brock mature as a fighter before taking such a steep challenge. Outside of the limited Jameel McCline, he hasn't been in tough really. He didn't show anything in his recent bouts against Lawrence and Ibragimov, and those guys aren't going to prepare you to fight for the title.

      In the current climate, you mean? I mean, there's a possibility that someone who can box, like Toney (if he were big enough) or Audley Harrison (don't laugh) outboxing them. I said POSSIBILITY. Extremely unlikely, but...

      And also, of course, Big Len could have done it.

      But with 90% of the guys out there, you're right.

        I can see Toney doing it (hardly but possible). Harrison couldn't outbox my grandma. Lewis would win over Wlad about 5 years ago, not now.

          Yeah, a peak Big Len.

          You don't think Audley can box? Strap a pair of balls and a decent chin on that guy and he's a top three technical boxer in his division IMO.

            Strap a good chin to Wlad and he will kick anyones ass.

              You said it, outboxing means not only technical skills but a pair of balls and decent chin, and heart, and other qualities that he is missing. If you could mix Danny's and Audley's DNA, pair that with a good shrink, you'd have an unstoppable HW.

                Anyone from boxingscene going to watch this fight in person? I'm thinking about making the trip down to NYC to watch the fight at MSG. I've never seen a fight at MSG. If I buy crappy tickets will I be able to move down to the better seats if they are not occupied?

                Thanks for the info.

                    My friend and citizen of the world, let's be serious. You would not say that about any other heavyweight not in the top 40.

                      I'm also not sure Lennox could have ever won a decision against either Klitschko, if that was the question. He could have certainly knocked Wlad out, but that's a different story.
