    Note the guy getting destroyed here is the same pro that David Price ducked last month.

    None of these comical shots will land.

    A repeat of the 1996 Atlanta Super Heavyweight final was this rematch with Klitschko.

    no way that dude lands anything on either klit you see how slow and telegraphed those shots were ?..

    NO ONE in the HW div has the combined speed and skill to land any clean shots on a Klit. you can take any KO shot over any and all morbidly obese heavys and try to ask the same. and the answer is always going to be they wont land unless klit pulls a mayorga which aint ever happening

    before you ask how wlad can survive one of those shots, you first have to ask how lepai is getting past that jab

    I'll put on my hater-hat and say, yeah, Leapai will have all fight to land punches like that, there's no way that he's going to respect anything that feather fisted Klitschko can throw.

    But in all seriousness, Leapai looked impressive because he was boxing an opponent who was looking for a place to fall down. He won't be able to do that against a hard punching opponent who is in good enough physical condition to not tire like that.

    Povetkin got past the jab every minute of every round.

    So did Mormeck, who hadn't fought in two years and after the loss never fought again.

    So did Haye. In fact everybody gets past that 'jab'.

    after reading lepai's story on fightnews, i'll actually be rooting for him
    but I think he'll struggle to get past the jab

    that's why everybody has beaten Klitschko. Povetkin beat him, Mormeck beat him, Haye beat him:finger5:finger5

    No, he'll get past the jab but will get jumped on , headlocked , bearhugged , fouled and mugged like all the rest.

    If Wlad doesn't use these tactics , he gets layed out.
