Official Wlad Klitschko vs. Calvin Brock Thread

[restless_438]

Pulled and predicting Wlad to take this by TKO/KO somewhere after 7 rounds..

would anyone agree that Wlad's one heavyweight we can rely on right now to be consistent?

Brock fights in spurts, so there could be a few exciting moments in between the beating he'll be taking the rest of the time. I say beating because if Brock stays outside, he can't really jab with Wlad. If he makes it inside he gets tied up. I don't think he'll be intimidated the very first time he gets hit, but I do think he'll get gunshy after a round or two of that jab and right hand. I think it will eventually become one-sided with Brock trying to rally occasionally, and incresingly less frequently as the fight goes on. I'll take Wlad with the ref stopping it.

I think this is going to be a tougher fight for Wlad than many think. I hope Wlad defeats Brock but I do not see it as an easy fight for him.

see, the thing is guys, i don't see how brock winning helps the division any. that's why i'm a bit puzzled as to why anyopne would want brock to win unless they are specifically a fan of brock.

and please excuse me if i get a bit OC on the topic, as i feel wk being champ and having maybe one or two good rivals is just what the div needs. brock winning in my opinion equals a step back.

as for you dirty, i will retract my arm chair statement if you have more than 6 months boxing training. but you will still have a low rep!!!

the only way i see this helping is this could bring more americans back to watching the heavyweight divsion. with briggs having a belt and hopefully brock we could see a surge of interest, not close to anything from the past but itll be better

sadly i have it being WK by KO by te 10th, im pulling for brock tho

I think early on we could see Brock jumping in with shots, trying to neutralize Wlad's jab, and that could produce some exciting moments, but through the middle of the fight I expect to see Brock jumping in with flurries less and less, and being hit with that jab and right hand more and more. I think by the end of the fight he'll look pretty bad.

If that's the case, I think that Americans should just accept the fact that America isn't the center of the universe and move on. A good fighter is a good fighter regardless of where he's from. By the way I live in Texas, so I'm not an America hater.

Ditto. And no matter how many times we say this the jingoists never listen.

I think Wlad will win.

no matter how it turns out, it will be infinitely more exciting than briggs/SL
