This one is one tough son of a *****. It's like getting a High School Nerd to get Paris Hilton out on a date, and score with her, without alcohol or "E"....But still, it is a small possibility. Here are some keys to an improbable Victory. Personally, my head says Wlad via TKO mercy stoppage about the 7th. BUT this is Boxing, and more weird **** has happened. 1. Take a Page out of the Bernard Hopkins/Johnny Ruiz playbook. Make the Fight UGLY. An ugly ****ing Wrestling match. Clinch like Boy George grasping unto a naked Derek Jeter for 12 long boring ass rounds. Hell, after watching Malignaggi and Hopkins' last fights, Clinching seems to be cool. So do it. 2. Keep the fight inside as much as humanly possible. It needs to be a James Toney on the ropes type of WAR. 3. Make Wlad pay whenever he tries to establish the Jab. Whether by a headbutt, a lowblow, countering under or over the jab, Hasim needs to make Wlad uncomfortable with his own jab. 4. Land sneaky big shots, especially as the ref is breaking you up. Hell, it could work!:hey
He has a snowball's chance...how's the weather in Germany this time of year...???...will it support a snowball...???
I think Rahman is much closer to an upset, then a lot of people might think. People rate him on his Toney fight, but that is nonsense. If Rahman goes berserk and for the kill, Klitschko might feel uncomfortable. Rahman has a decent Jab the hell of experience and can KO you at anytime. But in the end Klitschko will presumably win by midround stoppage playing the safety first game for a couple of rounds until unloading the right.
a two years younger rahman failed to put glass chinned maskaev on his ass. he has looked awful since. besides that lucky punch, which would have to be a là lennox I, he has no chance. chance of catching wlad with his money punch while he has his chin in the air - 1%.
Fellas, I'm not saying he is going to win. I'm saying if he wants to further his chances of getting lucky, he needs to read my post! (LOL)
Rahman in his prime would have a 10% chance of beating Wlad - this version has absolutely no chance.I think this fight will be similar to the Austin/Klit fight
