Was Klitschko-Pulev on American tv? What were they saying about it?

very

 

Yes. Lampley and Kellerman were both very complimentary.

 

it was one of his best performances in a while i think

 

I expected the outcome so no surprise

 

Nice to see Max give credit where credit is due, I think he's been much better at hiding his biases of late.

 

That's because they're both dopes

 

I don't think Kellerman was very impressed so much as being nice to the fighter they're working with. And he was nice. But I got that sense of lip-biting like he wanted to go on a rant. Lampley and Lederman on the otherhand always seemed to like Wladimir, even when they thought he was a bust. I think Lampley was a little impressed. I get the feeling Kellerman has never actually rated Wladimir as much of anything.

 

HBO must be elated because they want to put up more Heavyweight championship fights on air, but even if the fight today had not been as dominating, you best believe HBO would have hyped Wladimir anyways.
If it benefits HBO, they hype.

 

HBO at 5:00. Wlad was impressive with his punching. Clinching and grappling was a little ungainly but the punching was sharp and powerful. Those hooks were pretty sweet. American might warm to him yet. Maybe

 

they made no mention of pulev rocking wlad with a stiff jab and him being hurt.

 

Because he didn't rock him and he wasn't hurt?

 

re HBO, I've got a feeling it will be Jennings next and then the winner of Wilder / Stiverne. If Wlad wins those two fights he equals Holmes's defense record.

 

I thought I saw Wlad wobble a bit early in the first round too. But he came back pretty quick with those killer hooks

 

Jennings is probably on the short list for Wlad's next opponent. You could add the Fury-Chisora winner to that. Maybe a long shot like Glazkov sneaks in but it looks like Fury-Chisora and Jennings are leading right now.

With HBO involved in Wlad's next fights they should have some influence in who he fights.

Jennings is a logical choice for HBO-he's Americna, been on HBO a couple times, and would be available for a spring fight unlike Wilder-Stiverne.

HBO was interested in Wlad-Jennings about a year ago. Since then Jennings has actually been on HBO and added some nice wins to his record so I'm sure they'd be for it now.

If Jennings fights Wlad next that would also make a possible unification fight between Wlad and the Wilder-Stiverne fight a lot easier to make.

Right now Jennings is the mandatory and it seems Jenning's team and the WBC are insisting he gets his shot at the Stiverne-Wilder winner immediately.

Jennings would no longer be a road block to a unification match if he gets his own shot next.
