I was surprised at how crisp Klitsch's jab was,he really didnt have to throw much except it. The whole fight was almost like a slower replay of DLH-Pac, one guy needed to close distance,and couldnt because the other guy drove the straight right in there every time he tried. Im thanking god I didnt actually pay for that dismanteling.
Im pretty sure thats the end of Rahman as a viable contender

I think your right,put a fork in em.Wlad beat him like a drum.Did they havr it PPv where you are at...that's rough.

Sort of,I only put HBO on to my Dish if there's a fight,I really really want to tape,otherwise I just stream it on the computer.
You can guess which variety I was pretty sure this was going to be;D
But I was surprised at how crisp and consistent Klitschko's straights were, he really didnt need anything but them,and Rahman couldnt settle on a guard that would stop them.

It looked like Hasim was laying on the ropes hoping Wlad would unleash on him and get winded so he (Hasim)could then go for the win but it didn't happen that way. Wlad showed no fear and no respect for Hasim.

the rope a dope only works on dopes. Wlad aint no dope. lol.

Dr Slap done what he does best. Jab jab jab and nothing else.

Rahman done best what the US heavyweights do best, go arse over tit.

No wonder Team Slap want Haye to fight Vitali. Slap is garbage, always has been and always will be. His style is horrific, almost like watching paint dry.

I worry for Haye, that jab could knock him off his stride and even out. Haye seems too desperate to get in the ring with him and said that he wanted to fight him next, not another Monte Barrett type fight. He is rushing it more because he knows he is vulnerable rather than seeing a weakness in Wlad or Vitali.

I dunno, Wlad gave him a little respect in the first but when he realised that Hasim wasn't going to throw a damn thing, you could see that he lost all inhibitions.

I see a bit of fear in Wlad in the way he boxes. He's definitely worried about that chin..he had Hasim against the ropes at times and didn't want to throw more than a one-two. I think the only combination he threw was the one to stop the fight. He just doesn't have the same killer instinct that his brother has IMO

My only negative comments about Wlad for this fight are that he didn't go to the body and he didn't use the uppercut. He beat Hasim up with ease but he didn't look bloodthirsty....which his style isn't meant to do but I would have liked to have seen Wlad get after Hasim more.


David Haye wouldn't stand a chance vs Wlad...lefty you talk as much as Haye, but I wonder if either of you really believe he has a good shot.

If you look at where these two sit reguardless of how they got there, i don't really blame wlad for taking it easy in these meaningless fights. No use putting out any unecessary effort or risks against these guys. These opponets getting a free vacation across the pond are the one's who should be ashamed. Wlad's the champ and at home he doesn't have to beat you, you have to beat him. These opponets are a joke and that's not the fault of either of the klitschko's. Hasims only shot was a lucky shot, they didn't even try to build this fight up to make it seem like hasim had a chance they talked more about what wlad and his bro have done than what wlad was getting ready to do. I liked the end where he was like "where haye" i thought haye would hear that and jump in the damn ring

I never thought of it quite that way Mar. I know Wlad is a guy who isn't going to risk much but considering that and considering he has 46 KO's....it's a little bit impressive how he can do that even vs a guy like Rahman.


I wonder what is next for Wladimir....I am figuring it's Povetkin but I hope it's Valuev
