    No I'm not.

    I actually like what I saw in Jennings.

    I've never been a big believer in Wilder. His chin is too suspect for me. He is big and does have power. But so was/did Michael Grant.

    What I like about Jennings is that he stepped up to the challenge and gave a very good accounting of himself. He's got a chin. He came to win. And I'm sure he can get a lot better than he is now.

    True, but he's a heavyweight. If he were 30 years old with his skill level and he were, say, a lightweight then I think things would be over for him.

    Heavyweights can fight for longer.

    I like Jennings' physical skills and his desire to win. He's got a very solid chin. He has ability.

    Even a diminished Wlad is still Wlad. Remember what Wlad did to Calvin Brock? Jennings may not have the skill level of Brock but he has a chin and he's tough. He's athletic. He just needs to refine his skills.

    What...he busted Wlads left eye open.....he bruised both sides of his ribcage.

    He had Wlad huffing and puffing midway thru almost every single rd.

    I said when By beat Mo Byarm on the NBC FightNightSeriesDebut, that By Jennings is a reborn, unroided, version of Evander Holyfield.

    Goes toe to toe when he needs to, digs to the body when he needs to, pumps the jab when he needs to, and drives combinations up and down when he needs to.

    He fought a surgical fight vs Olympian Mike Perez and impressed me even moreso that he could even beat such a strong, defensive minded CPer like that.

    Jennings is the COMPLETE package.

    Heart
    Will
    Endurance
    Power
    Chin
    Jab
    UC
    Combos
    foot/hand-speed
    In shape
    Size (6'3 225)
    Smarts
    Defense

    There are only 4-5 top 30 fighters who could beat him. And one of them eeked out a razor thin decision last night.

    Yeah, I could see that comparison to Holyfield. Obviously he doesn't have Holyfield's skill level, but I see where you're coming from.

    I like this guy. He's got a lot of ability. I'm eager to see where he goes from here. He and his team should have gained a lot of confidence from the Wlad fight.

    I don't hate Klitschko, I just haven't seen him fight as of yet and I call it the way I see it.

    Too early to tell. Let's see him in there with Wilder and see how he does. That would be the next logical fight for him but I'm sure Wilder would not take it. No upside for him and he could lose a huge payday with K.

    He's a modern day Hasim Rachman. Started his pro career late and and over achieved due to natural athletic qualities and talent. I actually like Jennings better for some reason. He hasn't won a title but I think he's capable of snatching one somewhere down the road if he can stay healthy and active.
