Bye Bye Jennings Saying He Would Fight AJ In December

Jennings is one of the few fighters in the HW division that I wish would pad their record a little more. Taking on all comers is destroying his status among fans (ironically). Might also be ruining him as a fighter as well.

 

I'd agree. Jennings should be more active and take a few easier fights here and there. It's great that he wants to fight the best but instead of sitting around waiting for those fights to happen he should be out there staying active and sharp while waiting for those bigger fights to happen.

I don't think he fights Joshua next and if he did I think he'd be the underdog. Hopefully he doesn't waste next year like he did this year.

 

Although Jennings has almost no chance of beating Joshua, I think it is a great idea (management wise) for Jennings to take on AJ next. At least he will get a large payday and has a small (probably, very small) chance of catching AJ's chin. Jennings is inexperienced, already 32, and realistically won't get any better. After getting steamrolled by an out of shape Luis Ortiz, I recommend Jennings cashes out on this payday before he loses to a lower echelon fighter for peanuts and loses the opportunity forever.

 

He needs to develop a jab and learn to make use of that 84' reach before he fights another top5 heavyweight.

 

This. His reach so far is such a waste. He didn't utilize his reach advantage against Wlad at all. I think Pulev is a far more winnable fight, but also a decent opponent. At this point he gets steamrolled by Joshua.

 

And he's such a hard-working, naturally gifted athlete he should be able to figure it out. I didn't expect him to exchange jabs with Wlad but the way he just kept trying to get inside against Ortiz was just baffling.
