    While the little guys are squaring off next week, this weekend the real kings of the ring will decide who's THE MAN...

    The fight is taking place tomorrow and I haven't seen any polls yet.
    Wladschko is fighting an American who's ranked #5 by Ring, #8 TBRB, was the WBC's #1 contender until he signed the Wlad fight, #4 WBO, #2 WBA, and finally #4 IBF.
    He's undefeated, athletic, and has a 3 inch reachadvantage over the big guy. He also has youth and homeadvantage in his favor so Jennings must have a chance right? RIGHT?! :blood

    there is nothing big anbout this - this is stay busy level for anyone else.

    but for wlad is a big fight, being a massive step up from cancer patient nobody pianeta and truck driver nobody leapai.

    I think Jennings will make wlad look bad for awhile, wlad will get a knockout sloppily about round 7

    Voted Wlad by decision because I think it will go into the late rounds even if/when Wlad scores the stoppage and has a decent enough shot of going the distance in my opinion.

    Aha so let's have a look at it...

    fighting #5 Ring Contender means "a stay busy fight"

    a # 5 Ring Contender btw is more then a Tyson Fury ever has faced for example :hi:

    Probably no less dangerous than Pulev was, and he shook Wlad for a second, but I see mid round Wlad tko.

    comparing wlad to the joke that is Tyson fury?

    you are on a winning self-punch there mate, saves me bothering to reply with any counterargument, cos you just provided it

    so if not jennings or fury, who would you have wlad fight? wilder? he seems to be in no hurry to defend his title.

    its not for me to choose his opponent, but I think I am very accurate in saying this is the polar opposite of a "big fight". Walds "big fights" are the weakling fights of other champions.

    Wlad has turned the world title into an "international" title.

    Klitschko will make a statement. I doubt he earns commercial fees in the USA. That's the reason why he didn't KO1 Pulev last time.

    KlitschKO 1 Jennings

    Imma go ahead and say it goes the distance, I think Jennings will hang tough. Unlike most over/unders, I wouldn't bet on this one, but pick wise that's where Im going.
