The Sniper is back - watch out Klitschko
My favourite flawed boxing genious Corrie Sanders is back with Golden Glove Promotion.
He is to do a fit and impressive performance i MAY and one in July.

You who know, is that a good promoter for him?
I think he put up a good performance 8 rounds against Vitali. It is my conviction that if Wladimir had taken the bombs that Vitali did then he would have been down in the first. That is, Corrie can always beat Wlad (most of the time). Mind you; he was not down, Vitali did not manage to ever get him down (he wasnt down in the Rahman fight either, actually should have won if not tactiacal errors). I dont think he can beat Vitali; he hit him as much as you can hope for and nothing happened.
NOw; my conclusion is that only guys with very very strong chins will be a problem for Sanders.
Here are the ones I think he may be slight favourite over (or at least equal to):
Wlad, Tony, Maskaev, Briggs, Peter, Chagaev, Lyakovich, Ibragimov, Rahman
You have to remember that he is Big man, fast and moves well.
I would say that a weakness may be stamina and defence. But I think that he has HUGE regrets over not doing this right the first time, and so will do it right now.

Do you think Wlad would risk a return fight? ???

Klitschko would whip his ass this time around.
Re: The Sniper is back - watch out Klitschko
If Sanders merits a title shot Wlad will give it to him.....as confident as Wlad is now and as out of shape and old as Sanders is I forsee terrible things happening to Corrie.
And if Sanders is dumb enough to fight Vitali he's going to get retired again!
Good for Corrie I hope he does well but I hope Wlad beats his fat ass
Re: The Sniper is back - watch out Klitschko
Wladimir has learned what not to do against Sanders and would implement that knowledge in the rematch.Wladimir wins the rematch.
Re: The Sniper is back - watch out Klitschko
corrie is a great puncher, he can knock out any heavyweight out there. but right now wlady is way better deciplen and as a boxer,correi will have a hard time getting to wladys chin. as for vitaly, corrie can not beat vitaly thats that.

You are right, Corrie can never beat Vitali, but he can probably find Wlad's button every time at some point before 8th round. Would be so exciting to watch Wlad protect his left flank. Anyway, looking forward to the fight after the Koval fight. Corrie-Briggs would be fun. Corrie is always fun.

So is Corrie already back playing golf to get in shape for his fight?

plinden corrie was decent fighter but never really got himself in shape when he was younger so how is he going to do it now at what 40 ??

I think Wlad would probably win a rematch as well, but I can't see how anyone could be confident in making that pick. The Sanders fight was not like the Purrity or Brewster fights, where Wlad had things his way and ran out of steam, or where he clearly lacked the stamina and patience he has shown since.. Corrie handed him his ass from the opening seconds.. Wlad was never even in the fight, he was basically as dominated as a fighter can be. So while I think he has improved some issues, Sanders could just have his number.. We know Wlad can't take his punches, not even close.. If Sanders looks good again then I think a rematch would be a very interesting fight.

Corries best chance is Wladdy cause if he goes after Vitali he'll tare his ass up AGAIN and worst this time....

I have the fight, I've seen it and it's pretty onesided.....
Re: The Sniper is back - watch out Klitschko
I wouldnt mind seeing Wlad avenge a loss, its usually the honorable thing to do....and Wlad has all the advantages this time out. Probably.

Sanders has more speed and a better chin for sure. He also has his southpaw stance.
Vitali absorbed a couple of shots stunning him for an instance, I think they may have been fatal for babyklit.
I would for sure bet on Sanders, although Wlad is much improved; could be a really fun one. sanders hasnt gone many rounds, and sure hasnt over trained himself. you say he is old, but he also has lots of room for improvement; easy things like a) stamina -imagine keeping his round 1 pressure for 5 round?, b) defence c) weight- be a little lighter and more mobile -still keep a little padding and bulk 232pounds is good weight for him.
