So, how do you feel about this? April is a ways off. Could have been pushed up just slightly, but in any event it's apparently on for the 25th.

Should be a good one, I'll say Wladimir wins by KO in 7. Jennings should be really sharp and looking to try steal rounds off Wlad, but at this point in Wlad's career, as easily as he dispatched Pulev I think he'll have little trouble with Jennings.
Be a good scrap though, while it lasts.Quote:

Any say on who may carry the fight. HBO seems to be back on the Wlad wagon or will it be espn.
im only semi interested in this fight. jennings is still pretty raw and didnt look that great in his last fight. i dont see him doing very well at all.
I hope Jennings takes the fight to Wlad, I only see one outcome no matter what, but if Jennings does take the fight to Wlad I think it will be entertaining until he is KO'd in around 3 rounds. If he stands off and tries to box Wlad i I see it lasting 8-9 painful rounds.
It will be HBO for this one and I think 1-2 more until new contracts have to be drawn up.Quote:

Hope Jennings puts on a good show.
He will try. But it most likely will be a UD. Maybe not a wide UD, but a solid win for Wlad none the less.Quote:

I hope Santa brings Suns up an oxide Jennings and Jennings and Crisco or both a bunch of bums give him a chance East Newark with orange extract head looks pretty pumped and looks in pretty good shape and mentally motivated to knock both of these pieces of s*** out in less than 30 seconds of the first round
Can't knock the fight I guess, but I'm not excited about this one at all. Jennings is mobile and skilled for a HW, but he doesn't have a big punch or the size and strength to get anything done on the inside against Wlad, even if it is a clean fight. I can't see anywhere he'd even have any prolonged success, let alone give himself a chance to win.
If Jennings uses skill as Plan A, then I know Wlad wins easily. Wrong approach for a fighter whom has practically mastered his craft.
There's got to be a lot going right for Jennings and a lot going wrong for Wlad for Jennings to win this fight. Jennings' best bet, and really I believe his ONLY bet, is to try and be cagey and crafty at times but then really aggressive. He can't worry about getting hit clean, or getting knocked down, he has to give Wlad the smallest windows to hit and really make Wlad move a lot. Bryant is going to have to have a killer instinct, and no fear, but a strict dedication to his gameplan. He's going to have to have a rhythm to his attack that Wlad isn't used to, he's going to have to know when to be rough and when to tie up, and he's going to have to make his punches count.
It's because the planets lining up and allowing that to happen seem so outrageous that I'm saying Jennings has maybe a round or two of success (if that) and then just gets shut down hard. Hopefully for Jennings he doesn't take a career ending beating. You can lose a fight like this and not be able to recover, it's happened before and to a lot better fighters than Jennings. I hope Jennings is strong and recovers but we all know about the Michael Grant's, the Gerry Cooney's, the guys who just crumbled after defeat....hopefully Jennings isn't like that.
I'm not a fan of Bryant Jennings, I'm not expecting him to win at all, but I do think he's good for boxing, he's good for American boxing, and he has a lot to offer the fight fans, I'll certainly watch him fight, but I'm not going to lie and say "I'm a huge fan" because I'm a Wlad fan, I've been that way for ages, but I do hope Jennings gives a good account of himself, and I certainly don't hate the guy the way I've hated fighters in the past.
The top 10 things Jennings needs in order to come close to winning.:rolleyes:Quote:

Talk about bringing a slingshot to a gun fight. He could conceivably make it cagey for a while, as he does actually have the longer reach here surprisingly! He's got a pretty good jab, but it's nowhere near as good as Wlads in any way, and he can't put a lot behind it wheras Wlad clearly always does. I don't like the fight because I think Jennings matches up pretty evenly with any of the other top HW contenders in the world, yet is perhaps the least suited to upset Wladimir.
