    How do you view Brock now post-Klitschko fight?

    I think Wladimir is a much improved fighter and the obvious #1 heavyweight. That being said, I don't know that Brock is too far behind him. I had the fight even through 6 rounds prior to the KO. I think Brock beats Maskaev and maybe Valuev and Briggs. Wladimir is separating himself from the pack...

    Yeah, so it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that Wlad is the best heavyweight in the world. He's too big, strong, and pedigreed.

    Brock is just a B level fighter, and that's all. I was suprised this fight went on near as long as it did.

      Brock will cause problems to many fighters, btw I had 4 to 1 with one being a draw.

        I can't wait to download this fight.
        The last couple of rounds seemed exciting (from what I read in the round by round).
        Klitschko needs to fight Maskaev to erase any doubt as to who's the man, imo.

            I think what is closer to the truth is that Brock is a C level heavy weight... while Wlad is a solid B heavyweight who uses his attributes extremely well. Clearly the #1 heavyweight but at this current time it isn't saying much.... still. This is almost getting to the point of depressing because I don't even enjoy discussing heavyweights anymore.

              Brock DID a great JOB.. and I was getting a bit worried MY 7th round KO prediction would not happen.. I though Klits looked way too tenative and Brock was doing his job... WHAT A ****ING PUNCH!!!!!

                Brock ought to seek out Shannon Briggs or Maskaev.

                  Wow...

                  What a shot. I'm glad I was watching...otherwise I might have missed it.

                  There's nothing like watching a knockout live!

                  I think Brock had the right plan. He kept his hands up cause Klitschko couldn't go to the body. He is relectant to hit someone low cause of how tall he is, can't get his gaurd back up quickly enough.

                  Klitschko should have kept with the jab from the beginning.

                  I gave it 4 rounds to 2 (Klitschko). Brocks body shots weren't doing any damage, Klitschko was hurting him to the face in previous rounds and it was showing up.

                  I'd like to see Klitschko really let go. But he doesn't flurry very much, I think he is defensive minded and relies on his 1 - 2 combo. It's a really good combo. But I think to keep a really aggressive fighter off him he would need to really land some combinations. (Not everyone goes to sleep and just stays in range)

                  But yeah. Man! His 1 - 2 is just devistating. The slowmo on that knockout, I couldn't believe Brock got up. He landed flat on his face.
