Brock doesn't have the power to KO Klitschko. He's knocked out either 21 or 22 people & none of those men that he stopped are worth putting in the same sentence as Wlad.

Wlad's a lot more skilled & he's got a much better chin than you give him credit for having.

Wlad was knocked out by only one man IWO & that was Sanders. Wlad took all of Brewster's hits & pretty much dropped from loss of energy. The very same thing that cost him the fight against Purity. Anyone who has seen those fights & can be objective knows that.

You need to brush up on your knowledge of the Klit. Heh heh heh.

Totally gotta disagree babe.

Brock's level of skill & depth is pretty limited. I see this one going about like the last Byrd fight with Wlad...& Byrd is deep in comparison on the punch stats. This should be a cake walk for Wlad...unless he just takes the fight lightly.

Don't do it...you'll lose some very necessary cash.

Again...totally disagree.

Baldo has two advantages over Mayweather that Brock does not have over Wlad.

#1: Size & ability.
#2: Confidence.

I seriously doubt that Brock get's up as easily from Wlad's shots as he did from McCline's.

Stamina is...or was an issue. No weak chin.

Sanders was one of the heaviest punchers in the game & even though dropped...Wlad kept getting up.

Brock is no where near what Sanders was & I seriously doubt that Brock can push or pressure Wlad.

He's not one of the better boxers either. In the end...as much as I like Brock...& I really do...he's going to come across as a limited fighter when thrown in with Wlad.

Logic's not baffling & this is all just opinion...Baldo's got a lot more to lose here than Brock.

Again...disagree here also.

The only person out there that I thought would wreck Wlad...lost to him. That man was Sam Peter. I know that if Wlad can handle the pressure & power of Peter that he can do so against Brock. Brock hits hard & all that...but he aint a power puncher. I've been ringside for Brock & know that he can crack...but his wins seem to come through more of accumulation & wearing a man down.

He won't be able to get through Wlad's jab. He had a lot of trouble with Bostice's shots...I doubt that he'll with stand Wlad's all night.

While I don't believe it'll come in the 4th...I'll agree on the outcome with 1st RoundKO & I'll be sticking with the herd..Brock's getting blasted out.
