Klitchsko vs. Jennings- April 25th!

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.

how is Janning supposed to make his punches count if klitsckol has already paid off the referee paying off the Commissioner paid off with the doctor and paid off the promoters

Good post, but if Jennings at any point tries to be "really aggressive without worrying about getting hit clean", I think we both know how that ends lol. 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.
