Never watched Jennings, does he pose any threat to Wlad?

Though he has good footwork and athletism, he is still defensively vulnerable which was proofed by Mike Perez early in their fight. If it wasn't Perez's poor stamina, he would lost that fight 'cause Perez had better boxing skills.

 

He's fairly responsible defensively, what he lacks is the power to get Wlads attention, and I personally believe the speed to close in on Wlad quickly. I believe if he were to get inside he would work even with Wlad attempting to clinch. I just don't think he would get inside.

 

Hes one of these guys thats solid in most ways, but not special in anyway.

 

I think its pretty impressive that Jennings has gotten to this level, while having less than 40 fights in Amateur and pro combined!

 

What level? Who has he beat? He is where he is because the division is dog chit.

19 fights in 5 years and got out boxed by the best guy he faced who himself is a lazy , unmotivated fringe contender.

10 stoppages to his name. Only one by KO.

His punch out put makes Kingpin Johnson look like Manny Pacquiao.

 

Only thing interesting about this fight is how much fouling Wlad is allowed commit on US soil..

 

People don't see that Wlad is way past his prime, he can't box anymore and relies on his power too much, so yes jennings has a chance

Wtf? Wlad is in his prime right now. Look how he fought against Wach. 12 rounds, full power, speed. He wasn't even tired.

Jennings gets knocked out within a few rounds.

 

He's an American heavyweight... that's all you need to know :bart

 

Does he pose any threat to Wlad? No.
Will this simply be another easy night's work for Wlad? Yes.

 

His freakish reach and good discipline might pose problems, but he will be knocked out.

That being said, no one in the division can cause Wlad serious issues anyhow, so Jennings is no worse than other unbeaten contenders.

 

I think Jennings is less powerful and more versatile than Cloud pound for pound - but otherwise that ****ogy is apt. Kovalev & Klitschko are just a class above. Jennings and Cloud are B+, good but just not good enough to really hang with them.

 

Are you saying that getting to the top 15 in the world after taking up the sport 5 years ago isnt impressive???
