Wladimir Klitschko vs. Marius Wach

[Hulk]

I think Wlad vs Arreola will be THE unification bout and that's cool with me. I am itching to see Wach catch a beat down because he's a big dude and he's been feasting on smaller, older heavyweights.

TALE OF THE TAPE
Height: Wlad 6'6; Wach 6'7 & 1/2
Weight:(from last bouts) Wlad 249 ; Wach 247
Reach: Wlad 81"; Wach 82"
Record Wlad 58 (51 KO)-3; Wach 27(15 KO)-0

Wlad is vastly more experienced (of course) and has a better KO%. Wach's record is littered with the names of journeymen fighters. Tye Fields and Julius Long are amongst his most noteable wins, not very tough I must say.

Jesus Christ....

Talk about bad competition.

I think we should have candidates to fight the Klitschkos begin taking lie detector tests. They will have to pass the test by honestly answering "Yes" to the question: "Will you come to fight and try to win ?"

It would save us all a lot of trouble.

Good idea, I believe Tony "the kitten" Thompson would have failed the lie detector test, they also need to answer "No" to the question: "are you only fighting to pick up a big final payday, and will fall down after Wlad throws the first good punch?"

Wach is decent-ish probably on par with Dimitrenko but has slower hands and a slightly harder punch. He's #4 in the WBC rankings so I think if nothing else it's a move to get Wladimir rated higher by the WBC so he can unify quickly.

The fight I really want to see is Wladimir vs Arreola, because I know Arreola will come to fight....Wlad will still win handily but Arreola will have a go.

I thought the WBC refused to rank any of the other belt holders?

I thought the WBC abolished unifications.
What you say here is even worse than what I thought.

Actually all of the bodies refuse to rank any of the others champions. Not just the WBC.

I meant something else.
I meant that the WBC abolished unifications, simple as it sounds.

yeah mate i know what you was getting at. It's just I thought the WBC were refusing to rank other champs but after looking at it they all do!

[El Kabong]

Well the fight is getting closer, anyone have any predictions? Thoughts? Strategy? Advise?


I think Wlad will feel a bit freer to throw his hands as he's fighting someone slow as molasses in February. Mariusz Wach is big, but not athletic, not powerful, not dynamic.....Wach is what people like to think Wlad is but Wlad will outclass this chump EASILY. I highly doubt Wach has ever been hit by anyone with the power that Wlad brings to the table.

Thoughts?
If I were a heavyweight contender, I would hate boxing fans.
The amount of trash that is directed at Wach is immense and it's not like he stole this contract from a bunch of Mike Tysons, all lined up to fight Wlad this year.

I'm pragmatic with my thoughts on heavyweight contenders. Mariusz Wach has not tested himself vs great or even halfway decent competition, sure he's won against the fighters put in front of him and that's all a fighter can do to some extent but his resume is weak.

Julius Long lasted 7 rounds with Wach, Tye Fields lasted 6....Wach is big, he's awkward, he's undefeated but he's just not all that great. If he allows Wlad to hit him the way he allowed McBride & Fields to hit him it will be a very short fight.

[Master]

I cannot wait for this fight, been waiting for it all year. Go Wach Go!

Wach reminds me of Cooney, without that great left hand to the body. He shows promise but I don't think he's ready either Klitschko. Sorry Master, you'll have to wait a little longer.

It will be very interesting to see how Wach handles Wladimir's skill, speed, & power. Wach has fought piss poor opponents, this could be a Ray Austin take 2. One thing is for certain, Wlad can cut off the ring and trap Wach and it won't be fun for Mariusz.


You do see Wach get touched up by McBride & Fields quite a bit....that would worry me if was in Wach's corner because Wlad will put some mustard on his punches and there's no way Wach takes those for 12 rounds.
