Wladimir Klitschko vs Maruisz Wach Nov. 10

[Spicoli]

Wlad has chosen Johnathan Banks for his trainer.

It is an unusual choice but as long as Wlad is happy and it continues the Steward legacy in some form then good luck to him.

It really is interesting. Banks will remain active and has a major oppurtunity to unhinge a solid prospect in Mitchell the following week, all the while training -the- man in the division

Has a world Champion ever fought his head trainer

Remember Howard Eastman chose McCracken as his trainer after he had beaten him. Robert has done well for himself with Froch so it may look like an odd choice at the time but it turns out to be a good move in the long run.

No kidding? I didn't know that. The circumstances here are tragic, but it is an interesting story line. There will never be another Manny but hope it goes well.

Weigh in results for Saturday's big match

Wladimir Klitschko: 246.9

Mariusz Wach: 249.1


Weights From Hamburg: Klitschko 246.9, Wach 249.1 - Boxing News

I believe this will be stopped in the 5-7 round period. Wlad has had 3 fights where he has weighed in over 245 and each time he has won by KO (Ray Austin, Sam Peter II, and Tony Thompson II). Austin was stopped in 2, Peter in 10, and Thompson in 6...I'm not sure how well Wach takes a punch but we're going to find out come Saturday.

[Freedom]

Will Wladimir be the first to knock the durable Wach down?

Wlad was the first to floor Shultz, Barrett, Brock, Brewster, Chagaev, Thompson, and Chambers, among others.

Wlad has taken a lot of "0"s in his career: Brock, Chagaev, Ibragimov, Shaheed, Castillo, Vujecic, and Peter. Will Wach lose his "0" today?

It just started on EPIX here. Apparently they are also showing the Helenius vs Williams match as well?! Not sure if that one is live or tape delayed so trying to NOT know how it ended

Ugh, Lou Dibella has replaced Freddy roach in studio crew now . Why does he remind me of Dana White!

[CFH]

Anyone have a link to the Epix feed?

Helenius fight is on another thread.

[Spicoli]

I might be in the minority but this has to one of the corniest opening ring intros I've ever seen, by both.

Wach looks petrified
